SPC Stone-Core Vinyl
Rigid stone-polymer core — the most dimensionally stable vinyl, built for heavy traffic.
What it is & how it's made
SPC (stone-polymer composite) replaces the flexible vinyl core with a rigid limestone-powder core. The result is a plank that won't warp under heat or weight, feels more solid underfoot, and is ideal for high-traffic and commercial-grade home use.
