Stone Polymer Composite Flooring (SPC)
SPC stands for Stone Polymer Composite, a limestone core combined with PVC dust and a stabilizer. As a result, it's denser due to the core being 60-70% limestone with a 30% PVC core fused together. Often referred to as rigid core, SPC is 10X more impact resistant than WPC.

Also, what is composite core Flooring?

Waterproof Composite Core – or Wood Composite Core (WPC) – is a new flooring innovation that's bringing the beauty of hardwood to below-grade installations. You may not think of wood flooring as being waterproof. However, WPC is actually a wood-plastic composite that often includes calcium cabonate and wood flour.

Beside above, what type of flooring is waterproof? For today's homeowners, the top five waterproof/water-resistant flooring options are:

  • Carpet.
  • Vinyl.
  • Laminate.
  • Porcelain tile.
  • Bathroom flooring (which can comprise several of the above)

Is composite flooring waterproof?

In short, the answer is NO, laminate flooring is NOT waterproof. Laminate, on the other hand, is made out of recycled hardwood, so it is not waterproof. Due to its melamine wear layer, it has a tough finish which resists against scratches and may have minor protection against minor water (quick spills).

Is composite the same as vinyl?

While both vinyl PVC and composite fencing are non-wood, they are made differently. Vinyl fencing is a plastic that is molded into panels. Composite fencing is a combination of recycled wood (typically chips or sawdust from mills) and recycled plastic that is made into boards similar to wood.
