Choosing the right type of flooring for your home is very important: not only does it say a lot about the aesthetics of the place, but it must also be able to withstand daily use, even in extreme conditions (such as a kitchen, bathroom or outdoor floor).

A current and predominant trend is SPC flooring. It is a type of vinyl flooring that attracts a lot of attention because of its style, in addition to being very resistant.

What is SPC flooring?

SPC is the acronym for Solid Polimer Composite; which means that they are high quality PVC floors that has been designed to combine this material with limestone powder.

Thanks to these properties, SPC floors are designed to adapt to any space in a room and to last a long time in perfect condition. Although it is true that in this article we are only going to discuss its benefits for your home, it also works very well in places with a lot of traffic around.

What are the key benefits of the SPC flooring for your home?

They are easy to install

One reason to choose SPC flooring over other alternatives it is its easy installation. It will not be necessary to place an insulating base, and it can be cut with a cutter and metal ruler, so you won’t need any sophisticated tools.

As we are talking about PCV, the handling of the material won’t cause dust or any other type of dirt. This means that there is no need for an intensive cleaning when the installation is completed.

In addition, the installation is not very loud either, which avoids noise complaints from the neighbours.

The installation is very intuitive: all you have to do is mount the slats or tiles directly on the floor thanks to its click system. With the appropriate adjustments, it can also be installed on uneven surfaces.

Resistant and stable

SPC floors are made of a very rigid material that doesn’t expand or shrinks, so it can withstand temperature changes very well (even though when we consider areas where the cold or heat is intense). For example, it can adapt to humid places without deteriorating, as well as be placed under windows.

Its resistance is also noticeable when the sun rays fall on this material for a long time. It is prepared to not change its colour or fade in any way.

The reason for this strength can be found in its composition; specifically, in its core. A high proportion of mineral fillers in relation to other components is used in its manufacture.

Highly appreciated aesthetics since it is a continuous floor

Although the floor is assembled in slats through a click system, it has no transition profiles or expansion joints, so it can be shaped into a continuous floor creating the aesthetics we are looking for in each room.

Obviously, to achieve this sense of continuity, it will depend on having a good installation and making the right cuts. In the event that we can’t do it on our own since we don’t have the tools nor the knowledge, it is best to leave it in the hands of a company specialized in SPC flooring.

Fully adapted to all rooms

Probably, what is considered its greatest advantage is its versatility or its adaptability. Those floors are perfect to be placed anywhere in the house, even in kitchens or bathrooms.

The only problem in those places is the high humidity levels. Most of the materials don’t respond very well to them, swelling and getting bad in different ways.

SPC floors withstand humidity very well, so we won't have any problems. They are even perfect to be installed and adapted to any commercial establishments.

Easy maintenance

In the manufacturing process of this type of flooring, a final protection known as premium coating is applied. It is designed to help the material to last much longer, as well as withstand scratches and impacts.

This premium coating gives it another advantage: easy maintenance. All you need to do is clean it with water and a multipurpose household cleaner to keep it in perfect condition.

The aesthetics you are looking for your home

There are many types of SPC flooring, available in different styles and with multiple textures to choose from. Although it is not made of wood, it perfectly imitates this material, even its pores and grains.

Keep in mind all the advantages of installing SPC floors in your home, and you will see how you end up choosing them.
