SPC flooring rigid core interlocking PVC vinyl flooring represents a modern engineered flooring solution designed to combine durability, waterproofing, and ease of installation. This flooring type is widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, offering compliance with global standards while ensuring long-term performance.
Engineering Principles
Rigid Core Construction:
Composed of a stone polymer composite (SPC) core, which provides dimensional stability and resistance to temperature fluctuations.
The multi-layer structure includes a UV coating, wear layer, decorative film, rigid SPC core, and an underlayment (optional).
Locking Mechanism:
Features interlocking tongue-and-groove systems that allow for glue-free floating installations.
Ensures uniform load distribution and reduces joint failure risks.
Performance Values:
Density: ~2000 kg/m³ (higher than traditional vinyl).
Wear Layer Thickness: 0.3–0.7 mm for residential and heavy commercial use.
Dimensional Stability: Expansion ≤ 0.1% under EN 434.
Regulatory Standards and Compliance
EN 13501-1: Fire classification of construction products (SPC flooring achieves Bfl-s1).
EN ISO 10874: Classification for flooring use areas (23/33/42 ratings for heavy residential and industrial use).
ASTM F3261: Standard specification for resilient flooring in modular format.
FloorScore / ISO 16000: Indoor air quality and VOC emission compliance.
Key Advantages
100% Waterproof – suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
Dimensional Stability – resists warping under high humidity and heat.
Acoustic Comfort – integrated underlayment reduces footfall noise.
Easy Maintenance – scratch-resistant surface with PU or UV coating.
Eco-Friendly – recyclable composition with low VOC emissions.
Installation and Operational Notes
Ensure subfloor is flat, dry, and clean to maintain interlocking performance.
Maintain a perimeter expansion gap of 8–10 mm to allow natural movement.
Avoid direct sunlight exposure above 60°C, as prolonged heat may affect stability.
Use manufacturer-approved cleaners to preserve UV wear layer protection.
Applications
Residential Housing: Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.
Commercial Spaces: Offices, retail stores, healthcare facilities.
Industrial Facilities: Light-duty areas requiring waterproof, resilient flooring.
