I first heard about my floor spc while touring a factory cluster in Guangzhou—Origin: #C3, No. 36 Xiangyuan Rd., Baiyun Dist., Guangzhou, China. Busy forklifts, PVC mixers humming, and—oddly enough—silence on the finished line; that’s the acoustic core doing its job. Rigid core vinyl has been on a tear for years, and this series is very much the poster child for why.
In plain terms, this is SPC: a stone-polymer composite core pressed at high temperature, then dressed with a decorative film and a UV-cured wear layer. It’s waterproof, dent-resistant, easy to click together, and—surprisingly—warmer underfoot than you’d expect. Many customers say installation feels “no-drama,” which, to be honest, is half the battle in renovations.
Rigid core is displacing traditional LVT in wet areas and mid-market remodels. Why? Faster installs, fewer callbacks, and strong dimensional stability. Specifiers tell me click-lock systems are winning in multifamily turnarounds because there’s less subfloor drama and fewer odors than glue-down.
| Core | SPC (CaCO3 + PVC + stabilizers), high-density ≈ 2000 kg/m³ |

| Plank size | ≈ 1220×180 mm (custom sizes available) |
| Click system | Unilin/Valinge-type interlock, micro-bevel |
| Fa'alalo | Optional IXPE/EVA 1–2 mm pre-attached |
| Fire | EN 13501-1 Bfl-s1 (typical; verify batch test) |
| Slip | DIN 51130 R9–R10 (real-world use may vary) |
| VOC | FloorScore / low-VOC options |
| Warranty | Residential up to 20–25 yrs; light commercial 10–15 yrs |
| Vendor | Wear layer | Certifications | Lead time | Fa'asinomaga |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home SPC Flooring (Enlio) | 0.3–0.5 mm | FloorScore, EN/ASTM tested | ≈ 3–5 weeks | Color, EIR, bevel, IXPE |
| Generic Import A | 0.2–0.3 mm | Basic RoHS/VOC | ≈ 6–8 weeks | Limited decors |
| Big-Box Brand B | 0.3–0.5 mm | GREENGUARD/FloorScore | Stock-dependent | Fixed SKUs |
Kitchens, bathrooms, condos with strict HOA rules, retail fronts that mop nightly, pet-friendly rentals—those are the sweet spots. For hydronic radiant systems, check max surface temps (usually ≤ 27°C) and acclimate. Honestly, subfloor flatness is still king.
Design teams often request embossed-in-register textures, wider planks, and matte sheens to dodge glare. With my floor spc, IXPE underlayment boosts IIC/STC in multifamily installs; one property manager told me hallway noise “dropped a notch.” Another homeowner liked the scratch resistance but, fair point, said rubber feet can leave marks—use felt pads.
If you want one takeaway: my floor spc pairs commercial-grade stability with homeowner-friendly installation. Not perfect—no floor is—but it’s a smart default when water, time, and budget are tight.
