How to choose high-quality SPC flooring

Table of Content [Hide]

    SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring is widely popular in modern interior design due to its superior durability, structural stability, and versatile design. When choosing SPC flooring, the appropriate thickness is crucial to ensuring long-term performance, comfort, and smooth installation. Here are some key factors for your reference:


    Thickness Selection Guide

    SPC flooring typically ranges in thickness from 4.0 to 6.0 mm, providing effective stability. It is recommended to avoid flooring thinner than 4.0 mm, 

    as thinner boards can weaken the locking system, increasing the risk of installation failure and wear. Thicker boards (5.0 to 6.0 mm) are more suitable 

    for high-traffic areas such as offices or shopping malls, capable of withstanding over 500 uses per day.


    Balancing Durability and Comfort

    Thickness of the Abrasion Layer: The thicker the abrasion layer, the longer the floor's lifespan.

    Foot Comfort: Thicker flooring effectively enhances cushioning, improving comfort during extended periods of standing.


    Underlay Selection and Matching

    The right underlay can further enhance the sound insulation and comfort of SPC flooring:

    IXPE underlay: Provides excellent noise reduction and ergonomic cushioning.

    EVA underlay: Cost-effective and suitable for general use.

    Thickness Compatibility: Thin SPC flooring is best paired with thin underlay to maintain overall structural stability.


    Budget Considerations

    Thicker SPC flooring generally costs more, but it also lasts longer. Therefore, it's recommended that you compare different product options within your

    budget. Prioritize the thickness of the flooring and the quality of the wear layer, rather than short-term cost savings.


    For most applications, SPC flooring with a thickness of 4.0–6.0 mm strikes a good balance between durability, comfort, and cost-effectiveness. If you require personalized advice, please feel free to contact us and speak with our professional team!
