The SPC laminate is a calcium polymer type of a new generation of the solid flooring. The acronym “SPC” stands for Stone Plastic Composite. It combines stone strength, water resistance of PVC materials and appeal of wood.

Key benefits of the SPC laminate flooring:

1. 100 % water-resistant.
A basic component of this laminate is the stone plastic support. It consists of PVC resin powder (30 %) and calcium carbonate powder (70 %), the weight ratio is about 1:3. Due to this, the SPC laminate is 100 % moisture-resistant, which allows using this flooring even in such areas of the apartment as a bathroom or a toilet.
2. Twice as dense as the standard laminate flooring based on HDF.
Due to the fact that this laminate flooring is manufactured using a stone composite, its strength is much higher than that of the traditional one. To compare: the HDF plate’s density amounts to about 1000 kg/m2, while the SPC plate’s density being 2000 kg/m3. Due to this, the SPC laminate flooring is more stable, not prone to chipping and easily withstands any thumps or other mechanical inpacts to its surface. It exhibits the density values comparable to porcelain stoneware (1900–2100 kg/m3).
3. Abrasion-resistant.
The SPC laminate flooring is held to different abrasion standards than the traditional one. An available wear-resisting layer for this flooring is 0.5 mm thick, which is enough to use it in compliance with the operating requirements for these types of coverings without having to worry about any scratches or damages.
4. Environmentally safe. It is free of formaldehyde, heavy metals and lead impurities.
The SPC laminate flooring contains in its composition no harmful substances, including heavy metals, benzene and formaldehyde. Calcium-zinc is used as a stabilizer for its basic layer substrate. The emission standard is E0, which is optimal when using for heat-insulated flooring systems in residential and office premises. The E0 standard means that the content of harmful resins in the material is less than 0.03—0.04 mg per 100 g. The SPC laminate flooring contains no formaldehyde at all. Therefore, it can be used even in children’s rooms and pre-school facilities.
5. Flawless season stability.
The SPC laminate flooring exhibits flawless geometric stability, being capable of surviving a temperature range from +5 °C to +35 °C. The coefficient of thermal expansion amounts to ≤ 0.002 %. This means that this flooring can be used even in the houses with no central heating. Due to its resistance to any changes in the temperature and humidity conditions, the SPC laminate flooring does not shrink, with no gaps formed at the joints and no locking connections destroyed. It preserves its stability during any season – in both winter and summer.
6. Fire safety.
The SPC laminate flooring is assigned the В1 fire safety class, which stands for its poor flammability and its ability to self-extinguish in case of a fire hazard with the lowest possible emission of harmful substances. Due to the fact that stone is used as a basis for the SPC laminate flooring, it is extremely difficult to ignite. Moreover, when exposed to elevated temperatures, it emits almost no odor or smoke, which makes it one of the safest floorings for residential and office use.
7. Sound insulation.
The sound insulation properties for the SPC laminate flooring is twice as high as that for the traditional one.
8. The Profield SPC laminate flooring is initially equipped with the IXPE substrate.
It is a new-generation innovative material made of IXPE foam. This is the substrate recommended by the manufacturer for installing the SPC laminate flooring. A standard substrate is sagging over time, deforming the flooring surface. The IXPE substrate overcomes this issue. Moreover, in terms of underfloor heating, the SPC laminate flooring can be used only with this substrate. Each SPC laminate panel is equipped with the IXPE substrate at the back. This saves you from having to search for a recommended substrate in shops and lay it onto the subflooring. All you need to do is take the panel and install it onto the floor.
