SPC stands for Stone Polymer Composite, it’s a rigid core click floor designed to be stable and durable, made from a mix of stone poder and polymers. SPC flooring is perfect for a low maintenance floor, which can be installed easily with its simple DIY click system, making it a great alternative to other floor coverings such as gluedown LVT and natural stone tiles.
Similarly to LVT flooring, J2 Flooring SPC offers huge benefits in terms of practical and aesthetical. On one hand it look and feels like natural flooring materials, but is made from durable and stable components, which form its core and can also be installed far easier, using Uniclic locking system technology.
Although installing SPC flooring is relatively simple in terms of clicking it together without any glue required, it still needs to be installed on a solid, smooth and level subfloor, this is where it is similar to ceramic tiles and LVT floors.
Preparation is key before installing SPC flooring, although it can be laid over existing fully bonded floors, which meet the criteria, such as LVT, Stone Ties (depending on level), chipboard panels and wood floors.
Below are some common questions and answers about SPC flooring:
SPC flooring tends to feel harder underfoot, which some might find less comfortable compared to other options. However, you can mitigate this by installing a suitable underlay. Laminate flooring has a softer feel and might offer more comfort but lacks the water resistance and durability of SPC flooring.
J2 SPC flooring is made using high quality CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate) and various polymers to create a structurally stable and quality rigid core click floor. With the high content of stone within the product, the product is more akin to a natural stone floor, such as ceramic or porcelain tile, however the polymer element allows it to be engineered into a click together system, which makes installing upto 8 times faster than traditional tiled floors, saving time and money.
Below is a diagram of the various layers that go into producing j2 SPC flooring:
1. UV Coating
This layer is a protective polyurethane coating, it is factory applied and with regular maintenance is replenished to help protect the wear layer and keep the appearance of the flooring looking better for longer.
2. Wear Layer
This is the layer that provides the durability and guarantee length. Wear layers vary on each SPC product, but the thicker the wear layer the more durable the product. Our SPC flooring is available in two different wear layer thicknesses:
0.30mm – ZEEZOO (Plank / Herringbone & Tile)
Classed as a residential quality our 0.30mm wear layer floors are suitable for heavy domestic and light commercial.
0.50mm – CUBE
A 0.55mm wear layer is classified as general commercial quality, which means it is extra heavy domestic. Our 0.55mm wear layer SPC comes with a lifetime guarantee in residential locations.
3. Decor Layer
this is the film print, which gives the product its design feature. At j2 Flooring, we choose the most natural looking designs to ensure your floor is as authentic as possible.
4. Ultra Stable SPC Rigid Core Layer
This is the rigid core layer, which is the combination of stone and polymers formulated to give the very best and stable product. Our products use the well known Uniclic locking system which is engineered within the core to provide a simple and DIY friendly installation method.
5. Pre-Attached Underlay
All J2 SPC products come with a pre-attached sound reduction underlay. This speeds up installation and also saves money. The underlay provided is the only underlay you should use under SPC flooring, otherwise additional compression from extra underlay can cause the product to break.
