SPC flooring is a popular floor decoration material, and its quality can be identified by observing the color, feel, smell, light transmittance, thickness and lock strength. High-quality SPC flooring should be durable, stain-resistant, UV-resistant and easy to install.

How to choose high quality SPC floor
Sep 12th, 2024

SPC flooring, a widely used floor decoration material, is manufactured through a complex process of chemical and physical reactions. The main components of the floor include polyvinyl chloride, a synthetic resin that can be subdivided into pure new materials, mixed materials made from plastics of different qualities, and recycled materials converted from recycled old materials according to the source and properties of the raw materials. Calcium powder must also be added to polyvinyl chloride, which plays a vital role in the hardness and wear resistance of the floor. The quality of calcium powder also has multiple grades, such as stone powder grade.


For consumers, it is important to understand how to identify the quality of SPC flooring. High-quality SPC flooring should be durable, stain-resistant, UV-resistant and easy to install. By observing the material, color, pattern and packaging details of the floor, consumers can preliminarily judge the quality of the floor. In order to further ensure that the floor purchased is of better quality, it is recommended to consult the salesperson for detailed production information of the floor, including the materials used, manufacturing process and possible certification marks.



1. Observe the color of the SPC floor

When judging the quality of the "spc substrate", we mainly observe its color changes. Among them, the color of the single material is elegant beige, giving people a pure and simple feeling; while the mixed material shows multiple colors such as gray, cyan and white, enriching the visual effect of the substrate; when the substrate is used too old and enters the recycling stage, its color will become gray-black or pure black, which also means that its service life is extended. According to these different colors, the cost of SPC substrates can be divided into multiple levels to meet users with different needs and budgets.


2. The feel of SPC floor

When splicing, put the two pieces of material together, touch the splicing with your hand, and carefully check the flatness and fit. If the splicing is good, the joints between the two pieces of material should be very small and almost imperceptible. At the same time, the overall surface should be very flat, without obvious unevenness or warping.

By touching and observing, we can judge whether the quality of the splicing is good. If the splicing is good, the overall effect of the material will be more beautiful, and it can also ensure the comfort and durability of use. Therefore, checking the flatness and fit is a very important step and cannot be ignored.


3. Smell the smell of SPC floor

Some low-quality SPC floors may produce some odors during use, mainly because these floors use a lot of recycled materials and different kinds of mixed substances in the production process. However, there are also some SPC floors with better quality that can reach the standard of odorlessness after special treatment.


4. Light (light transmittance) of SPC floor

The flashlight function of the mobile phone is cleverly used to close it to the ground to achieve the lighting effect. This placement allows light to penetrate better and illuminate the surrounding environment. At the same time, the material properties of admixtures and recycled materials make them opaque when exposed to light. On the contrary, if the light transmittance is poor, the light will be blocked when passing through these materials, resulting in poor lighting effects. Therefore, by observing the lighting conditions of the mobile phone flashlight, we can preliminarily judge whether the material used has good light transmittance or poor light transmittance.


5. Measure the thickness of the SPC floor

Whenever possible, it is recommended to use a caliper or micrometer to accurately measure the thickness of the floor. Usually, the actual measured thickness of the floor will be slightly larger than the marked thickness, about 0.2mm, which is a normal fluctuation range. However, if the thickness of the floor measured with a caliper or micrometer is exactly 4.0mm, then the thickness of the floor you actually purchased may be between 3.7mm and 3.8mm. This situation is called "cutting corners" in the industry, which means that the manufacturer does not produce the product according to the standards they advertise. This makes people wonder how many non-standard behaviors this manufacturer may make in those production links that we cannot directly observe.
