8mm Click Light Oak SPC Vinyl Flooring
Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Mixing: PVC resin, CaCO₃, stabilizers blended by high-speed mixer
Extrusion Forming: Twin-screw extruder forms rigid SPC core sheet
Calendering & Lamination: Wear layer and decor film hot-laminated
UV Curing: Multi-stage UV coating and curing line
Precision Cutting: CNC-controlled plank sizing
Click Profiling: Digital profiling machines cut locking edges
Quality Inspection: Dimensional, locking strength, and flatness testing
Product Definition
8mm Click Light Oak SPC Vinyl Flooring is a rigid core stone-plastic composite flooring system featuring a click-lock installation mechanism and light oak wood grain surface. It is engineered for dimensional stability, high load resistance, and moisture tolerance in commercial and residential projects.

Application Scenarios
8mm Click Light Oak SPC Vinyl Flooring is widely applied in:
Commercial offices and co-working spaces
Retail stores and shopping centers
Hospitality projects (hotels, serviced apartments)
Residential developments and renovation EPC projects
Educational and healthcare facilities
Core Pain Points and Solutions
Subfloor Irregularity: SPC rigid core tolerates ≤3 mm / 2 m deviation
Moisture Risk: Waterproof core eliminates swelling issues
Installation Speed: Click system reduces labor time by 30–40%
Maintenance Cost: UV wear layer lowers lifecycle maintenance expense
Risk Warnings and Mitigation
Avoid installation on uneven or unstable substrates
Acclimate flooring for 24–48 hours before installation
Use expansion gaps (≥5 mm) for large-area projects
Verify locking tolerance during batch acceptance
Procurement and Selection Guide
Confirm project traffic load and wear layer requirement
Check fire and emission compliance for local regulations
Review locking profile compatibility
Request batch test reports (SGS / Intertek)
Evaluate surface embossing and slip resistance
Order engineering samples for mock-up testing
Engineering Application Case
A 12,000 m² mixed-use office project adopted 8mm Click Light Oak SPC Vinyl Flooring for open office and corridor areas. The rigid core allowed direct installation over existing ceramic tiles, reducing demolition cost by approximately 18%. Post-installation flatness deviation remained below 0.5 mm, meeting EPC acceptance standards.
