Vinyl and SPC Flooring FAQ
Vinyl flooring is the everyday term for resilient PVC-based floor coverings. International standards split the category into homogeneous PVC, which is one uniform layer through the thickness, and heterogeneous PVC, which uses a multi-layer build-up with printed decor and a clear wear layer.
SPC, or stone plastic composite, is a rigid-core subtype of heterogeneous vinyl. The core is a limestone-PVC composite, the decor is printed film, and the surface is protected by a transparent PVC wear layer with a UV-cured top coat. Because the core is rigid, SPC planks are usually installed as a floating click-lock system for HDB flats, condominiums and light commercial interiors in Singapore. In short: all SPC is vinyl, but not all vinyl is SPC.
