The advantages of choosing SPC flooring
Here are the advantages of choosing SPC flooring and its most important features.
The first reason why it is chosen by more and more people, both for homes and offices, is for aesthetics. In fact, SPC flooring looks great, is elegant, clean and can perfectly simulate any type of material.
The most popular is undoubtedly the wood effect to simulate a parquet floor, but there are many others to choose from: stone effect, cement, marble and resin, to name a few.
SPC floors have above all a good resistance to dirt. Stains from food, dirt, mud and the like are removed easily, in a short time and with little effort. For this reason, they are particularly popular with pet owners. SPC floors are also able to reduce footfall noise, so they are also excellent from an acoustic point of view.
Another great advantage is undoubtedly their extreme water resistance. That is why they are widely used to cover floors in the wettest areas of the house, such as the bathroom and kitchen. Laminates made of this material are waterproof and do not swell even if hit by a large amount of water.
Thermostability
SPC flooring can also boast good thermostability. In fact, SPC flooring, even after several exposures to thermal excursions, does not change its consistency, it does not swell. This characteristic is very important, also because it differentiates it from other products of the same family, namely PVC and laminate, which instead undergo temperature variations, with consequent expansion.
Another positive feature is the reduced thickness, which is in the range between 4 and 7 millimeters. It is therefore very suitable for quick but effective renovations, laying it over the old floor. In fact, as we have already seen with parquet, when the new floor is laid on top of the old one, it is essential that the thickness is very thin; otherwise, it could happen that the doors no longer open.
Another good quality of this type of flooring is undoubtedly its great versatility. In fact, they can be used in all areas of the house, from the bathroom to the kitchen, from the bedrooms to the kitchen. Consider that in addition to private/residential use, they are also excellent in the commercial sector and in general for environments open to the public, therefore involving a large footfall and the consequent greater accumulation of dirt and water (think, for example, rainy days when large numbers of people with wet soles and dripping umbrellas walk along these surfaces).
