SPC Flooring

SPC Flooring: Waterproof Planks

SPC has a rigid stone-plastic core, so the planks are waterproof and very stable. The underlay comes attached, and the planks click together as a floating floor.

Why SPC

What makes SPC different

01

Waterproof planks

The core doesn’t swell with water like laminate’s wood-fibre core, so it’s happy in kitchens and busy entrances.

02

Rigid and stable

A stone-plastic core that stays flat and doesn’t move much with heat and cold.

03

Underlay attached

An IXPE underlay comes fixed to the back of every plank, so there’s no separate underlay to lay.

04

Wide planks

Sapphire SPC Wide comes in wide planks in eight colours, so a room reads as one floor.

SPC vs Vinyl vs Laminate

Where SPC fits in

Laminate looks great and is very hard-wearing, but its wood-fibre core doesn’t like water. Glue-down vinyl handles water and is very thin, but needs a perfectly level floor.

SPC sits in between: waterproof planks like vinyl, but rigid and floating like laminate, so it’s more forgiving of the floor underneath.

  • Waterproof planks, not a waterproof barrier
  • Floating: no glue
  • 5.5 to 6.5 mm thick

How It Works

How we install SPC

01

Assessment

We visit, measure up, check the floor underneath and talk through the ranges and colours. You get a detailed, no-obligation quote by email with fully transparent pricing.

02

Preparation

We check the screed underneath is solid, level and dry, repair or level any weak or uneven areas, and lay a moisture barrier where it’s needed.

03

Installation

The floor is laid the way Finfloor specifies for that range, with the right underlay or adhesive and the expansion gaps it needs.

04

Trims and Finishing

Colour-matched trims and profiles finish the edges and doorways. New skirting is quoted separately, or we carefully lift and reuse yours if it’s in good condition.

05

Handover

We check the job with you and leave you the care guide for your floor, so it stays looking new.

What Our Clients Say

Questions

SPC questions

Is SPC completely waterproof?

The planks are. The floor as a whole isn’t a waterproof barrier: water can get through the joints to the floor underneath, so spills and leaks still need wiping up.

Can SPC go in a bathroom?

Yes, with care. The planks are waterproof, but water can get through the joints and edges, so the range must be approved for bathrooms and the floor prepared and sealed properly. We’ll advise on your bathroom at the assessment.

Do I need a separate underlay?

No. Both our SPC ranges have an IXPE underlay attached: 1 mm on Sapphire SPC Wide and 1.5 mm on Diamond Core SPC+.

What’s the difference between your two SPC ranges?

Diamond Core SPC+ is thicker (6.5 mm), has a 0.5 mm wear layer and a 30-year home warranty. Sapphire SPC Wide is 5.5 mm with a 0.3 mm wear layer and a 20-year home warranty.
