SPC flooring, short for Stone Polymer Composite, is a type of luxury vinyl plank that's gaining popularity for its durability and ease of use.
Structure
SPC flooring are made up of several layers.
8mm SPC Flooring refers to a Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) rigid core vinyl flooring with a total thickness of 8 millimeters, designed for enhanced durability, comfort, and acoustic performance. It’s one of the thickest and most stable SPC flooring options available on the market, offering a perfect balance between luxury aesthetics and industrial-level performance.
Unlike thinner 4mm or 5mm SPC floors, the 8mm version features a denser rigid core that provides exceptional stability, superior sound insulation, and a more realistic hardwood feel underfoot. This makes it ideal for both residential and heavy commercial applications.
A high-quality 8mm SPC flooring plank typically consists of five layers, each serving a unique purpose:
UV Coating Layer – Protects against fading, discoloration, and daily wear.
Wear Layer (0.3mm–0.7mm) – Provides scratch resistance and prolongs lifespan.
Decorative Film Layer – Reproduces realistic wood, marble, or stone visuals.
SPC Rigid Core (5–6mm) – Made of limestone powder and PVC resin for superior strength and dimensional stability.
IXPE or EVA Acoustic Underlayment (1–2mm) – Enhances sound absorption and foot comfort.
This multi-layer structure ensures that the flooring remains stable under temperature fluctuations, resists indentation, and provides a premium underfoot experience compared to thinner vinyl flooring types.
