Your Questions About SPC Flooring

Here are answers to some of the most common questions about our SPC products. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, just reach out to our team here.

Our SPC flooring is a floating floor, which means it installs without glue or nails. Instead, the planks sit over your existing subfloor (or underlay) and lock together using a click-lock system, creating a tight, seamless finish.

Most SPC flooring on the market today is floating for a reason: it’s more DIY-friendly, generally faster to install, and it can handle normal temperature changes better than many glue-down installs (because the floor is designed to expand and contract as one “floating” surface). It can also reduce installation costs since you’re not purchasing and applying flooring adhesive.

A glue-down floor is exactly what it sounds like—the product is adhered directly to the subfloor with glue. This is still common with certain vinyl flooring and engineered timber flooring installs where a fully bonded feel and extra stability are the priority.

We choose our ranges carefully so the manufacturing quality and the premium look are as high as possible. Our SPC flooring is highly realistic, and a lot of customers are genuinely surprised by the timber-style detail and texture.

That said, here’s the truth: SPC flooring can look very close to timber, but it won’t look as premium as real timber flooring up close—especially in certain lighting or if you’re comparing it side-by-side with a high-end timber product.

That’s why brand and build quality matter. When shopping for SPC flooring, it’s worth investing in a reputable range because you’ll get:

A better quality print (more natural grain variation)
More believable texture/embossing
Less “plastic” shine or flat colour

Cheaper SPC can look and feel noticeably more fake, which is usually where people get disappointed.

If your #1 priority is the most premium, natural look, engineered timber flooring is often the better choice. Just keep in mind: it’s typically around double the cost, and it can be more demanding to maintain compared to SPC.

In short: SPC flooring is the best option for durability + affordability, while engineered timber wins on that true timber prestige look.

Yes. Our SPC flooring is backed by a 20-year residential warranty, a 3-year commercial warranty, and a lifetime structural warranty.

This cover applies to manufacturing and structural defects in the SPC planks when the floor is installed correctly, maintained properly, and used in suitable areas. In plain English: if your SPC boards fail because of a genuine product fault (not water ingress from flooding, misuse, or poor installation), you’re protected.

So whether you’re installing SPC flooring in a home or a light commercial space, you can buy with confidence knowing it’s covered long term — including the structural core for the lifetime of the floor.

Yes — our SPC flooring is 0% silica. That’s not a “nice to have” for us; it’s a safety standard we won’t compromise on.

What’s silica dust (and why should you care)?

When materials that contain crystalline silica are cut, ground, drilled, or sanded, they can release respirable crystalline silica (RCS) — a very fine dust that can lodge deep in the lungs. Long-term or repeated exposure is linked to serious, permanent diseases like silicosis and lung cancer. Cancer Council

Why this matters with SPC flooring:

Some flooring products on the market may include silica-containing ingredients, and it often isn’t clearly talked about. If you’re buying SPC flooring, you want clarity on what’s in the core — not vague marketing.

Bottom line:

Keeping you (and anyone installing the floor) safer is a priority — that’s why we only stock silica-free SPC flooring.

Practical note: even with silica-free SPC, always control dust when cutting any flooring (cut outside, use dust extraction or wet cutting, and wear a proper P2 respirator). Safe Work Australia

It depends on what you care about most — SPC flooring wins in some situations, and vinyl flooring wins in others.

Why SPC flooring can be “better”:

More rigid and stable: SPC has a stiff core, so it usually feels more solid underfoot and handles everyday wear well.
Better over imperfect subfloors: That rigidity can help mask minor bumps/waves compared to softer vinyl options.
DIY-friendly installs: Most SPC is click-lock floating, so installs are often quicker and cleaner (no glue).

Why vinyl flooring can be “better”:

Softer and quieter: Many vinyl floors feel a bit more forgiving underfoot, and glue-down vinyl in particular can reduce movement and noise.
Great for tricky areas: Depending on the product, vinyl can be a better pick where you want a low-profile floor or a fully bonded install.
More choice in feel/finish: Vinyl ranges vary a lot — some are plush and comfortable, others are rigid — so you can match the feel you want.

The honest takeaway:

If you want a tough, stable, modern click-lock floor that’s typically easier to install, SPC flooring is usually the safer bet. If you care more about comfort, quietness, or a glue-down option, vinyl flooring can be the better fit.

Here’s the truth: SPC flooring is highly water-resistant, but “fully waterproof in every situation” is marketing spin.

What is waterproof?

The SPC core itself doesn’t swell like timber-based floors. If water sits on top of the planks, it usually won’t harm the core.

Where problems can still happen:

Water getting underneath the floor: If moisture sits under the boards (from a leak, flooding, slab moisture, etc.), it can affect the underlay, encourage mould, and create ongoing issues even if the planks themselves don’t swell.
Water through the joins: Big spills left sitting on the floor can work their way through the click-lock seams over time. Once water gets into the joints and stays there, it can lead to edge damage, lifting, or surface issues depending on the product and install.

What to look for in SPC flooring:

Choosing a quality range matters. One big plus is IXPE backing, which adds a moisture buffer, improves comfort and acoustics, and reduces risk from minor moisture exposure (it’s not a magic shield, but it helps).

Our take:

Our SPC ranges include IXPE backing and are built to a high standard — but even with great SPC flooring, you still need basic common sense:

✅ SPC is a great choice for kitchens and everyday life.

❌ Just don’t leave spills sitting there. Wipe them up as soon as you notice them.

SPC flooring is one of the most scratch-resistant flooring options you can buy, which is why it’s so popular in busy homes and commercial-style spaces. The rigid core makes it tough, and most quality SPC ranges include a strong wear layer designed to handle high foot traffic, daily mess, and general wear without looking trashed after a few months.

That said, no floor is “scratch-proof.” SPC can still mark if it’s abused — the main culprits are usually:

Dragging furniture (chairs, bar stools, lounges, fridges)
Grit and sand tracked in from outside (acts like sandpaper under shoes)
Pet nails if they’re long and constantly running on the same areas

What to do to keep it looking new:

Use felt pads under chairs and furniture legs
Don’t drag heavy items — lift or use a soft trolley/moving blanket
Put mats at entrances to catch dirt and grit
Sweep/vacuum regularly (especially if you’re near sand or have kids/pets)

Bottom line: SPC flooring is a seriously durable, low-stress product and a great choice for high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, kitchens, and rentals — just protect it from the few things that can

In most cases, hybrid flooring comes with a pre-attached underlay — and you should make sure the range you’re buying includes it before you purchase.

A pre-attached underlay is a big win because it:

Makes installation easier and faster (less to buy, less to stuff up)
Improves comfort and helps reduce noise
Keeps overall costs down (you’re not paying extra for separate underlay)

It’s also especially useful in apartments and multi-storey homes, where noise transfer matters. A good underlay helps soften footsteps and reduce that “hollow” sound you can get with hard floors.

When comparing options, don’t just take “acoustic” as a buzzword — ask for the acoustic test report (or check the specs). Quality hybrid flooring should have proper testing to back up any claims.

One of the best parts of hybrid flooring is how DIY-friendly it is. In most installs, you just lay it as a floating floor over a suitable subfloor (or existing floor), click it together, and you’re done.

Compare that with other flooring types like engineered timber or laminate, where you’ll often need to buy separate underlay. Depending on what you choose, that can add roughly $2–$8 per m² on top of the flooring cost — which adds up fast across a whole home.

In most cases, hybrid flooring comes with a pre-attached underlay — and you should make sure the range you’re buying includes it before you purchase.

Premium SPC Flooring – Built To Last At The Best Price

What is SPC flooring & is it worth it?

SPC flooring (Stone Plastic Composite) is a modern, manufactured plank flooring designed to look like timber, but built to handle real life way better than most traditional options

SPC flooring (Stone Plastic Composite) is a modern rigid-core plank flooring designed to look like timber, but built to handle everyday life much better than most traditional options. SPC flooring has become a popular choice across Australia because it’s durable, water-resistant, DIY-friendly, and affordable, while still giving a realistic wood finish.

Most SPC flooring is made up of layered construction, typically including:

IXPE backing (underlay) for comfort and acoustics
A rigid SPC core for strength and stability
A high-definition décor film for the timber look
A wear layer for scratch protection
A UV coating for extra surface durability

Is SPC Flooring Worth It?

For most homes, yes — SPC flooring is worth it, especially if you want a timber-look floor without timber pricing or maintenance.

SPC flooring is worth it if you want:

A tough floor for high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, and kitchens
A product that’s generally more forgiving with spills than timber-based floors
A click-lock floating floor that’s simpler and cleaner to install
Strong value compared to solid timber or many engineered timber options

What to watch out for:

No floor is indestructible. With SPC flooring, big risks are usually poor subfloor prep, dragging furniture, and leaving water sitting in joins for too long. If you choose a good brand (better print, better locking system, solid wear layer) and treat it properly, SPC is one of the best “set and forget” floors you can buy.

How easy is it to install SPC flooring in your home?

SPC flooring is one of the easiest hard-floor options to install, which is a big reason it’s become so popular with DIY renovators. Most SPC ranges are designed as click-together planks, so you’re not dealing with messy adhesives, nails, or specialist tools just to get the floor down.

If you’re reasonably handy, the process is straightforward: you plan your layout, trim the boards to size, and lock each row together as you go. Because SPC flooring is rigid, the planks stay stable while you work, and it’s easier to keep your lines clean and consistent across the room.

The part people underestimate isn’t the clicking — it’s the setup. SPC flooring installs best when you:

Start with a flat, solid surface (any bumps or dips can show up later)
Take time on your first few rows so everything stays square
Leave the correct expansion gap around edges
Use the right finishing pieces (like trims) for a clean, professional look

Bottom line: SPC flooring is very DIY-friendly, and with good prep and patience, you can get a sharp result without it turning into a full construction project.

How much does SPC flooring cost?

The cost of SPC flooring comes down to a few parts. If you understand these, it’s easier to compare products properly (and avoid buying something cheap that looks cheap).

1) The SPC Flooring Product (Per m²)

Price varies based on quality. The main drivers are:

Wear layer + coating (how well it handles daily wear)
Print realism + texture (how natural it looks)
Core thickness/density + locking system (how solid and reliable it feels)

2) Installation

Install pricing changes depending on how simple the layout is. Big open rooms are easier; lots of doorways, tight cuts, and stairs take longer.

3) Finishing Extras

Things like trims, transitions, and stair nosings can add to the final total.

4) Subfloor Prep / Removal

If the floor underneath isn’t flat or you’re removing old flooring, that can be a major variable.

If you want an accurate figure, look at the full picture: SPC flooring supply + install + prep + finishing, not just the plank price.

The Cost of Hybrid Flooring Installation in Australia - What You Need to Know

Hybrid Flooring: Pros and Cons You Need to Know Before You Buy

We hope this helps!

Here are our top 3 tips when it comes to SPC flooring.

Top Tips ᯓ★

Most SPC flooring “problems” are actually subfloor problems. If the base has dips or humps, you’ll get bounce, hollow spots, or joint stress over time. Get the floor properly levelled before you click anything together.

SPC flooring is tough, but sand/grit is basically sandpaper. Use door mats, vacuum often, and put felt pads under chairs. Never drag fridges, couches, or stools—lift or use a moving blanket/trolley.

SPC flooring handles normal spills well, but water sitting in seams or moisture trapped underneath can still cause issues. Wipe spills quickly and fix leaks fast—don’t let water linger.

How do you clean and maintain SPC flooring

Keeping SPC flooring clean is simple, but doing it the right way is what keeps it looking “new” instead of dull, streaky, or scratched up after a year. SPC is low-maintenance compared to timber, but it still rewards a few good habits.

1) Daily / Weekly Cleaning Basics

Most of the “wear” people blame on the product is actually grit. Tiny bits of sand and dirt act like sandpaper under shoes and can slowly mark the surface.

Best routine for SPC flooring:

Vacuum or sweep regularly (especially entryways, kitchen, hallways)
Use a vacuum with a hard-floor head (no aggressive rotating brush)
If you sweep, use a soft broom that won’t flick grit around

If you live near the beach, have kids, or pets, this one matters even more.

2) Mopping SPC Flooring

You can mop SPC flooring, but the trick is: damp, not soaking.

What works:

A microfibre mop with warm water
A pH-neutral floor cleaner (sparingly)
Two-bucket method if the floor is dirty (one to rinse, one for clean water)

What to avoid:

Flood mopping or leaving puddles sitting on the floor
Steam mops (heat + moisture + pressure can cause issues over time, especially at joins)
Harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or strong degreasers
Oily cleaners that leave residue (they attract dirt and create a dull film)

If your SPC flooring starts looking cloudy, it’s usually product build-up, not “damage.” That’s almost always from using too much cleaner or the wrong type.

3) Spills, Kitchen Mess, and Wet Areas

SPC flooring handles everyday spills well, but don’t test it.

Best practice:

Wipe spills up as soon as you notice them
Don’t let liquids sit in seams or along edges for hours
Put a mat near sinks if you’re messy with water

If there’s a leak (dishwasher, fridge line, laundry), treat it as urgent. Water trapped underneath any floating floor can lead to issues even if the plank core itself is stable.

4) Scratch Prevention (This Is Maintenance Too)

The fastest way to ruin the look of SPC flooring isn’t “cleaning wrong” — it’s dragging stuff.

Do this and your floor stays clean longer and looks better:

Felt pads under chairs and furniture legs
A protective mat under desk chairs (especially hard wheels)
Entry mats at doors to catch grit
Keep pet nails trimmed if you’ve got a runner dog

Also: avoid rubber-backed mats unless they’re labelled as safe for vinyl/hybrid surfaces — some rubbers can react over time and leave marks.

5) Stains and Spot Cleaning

For most marks, you don’t need anything fancy.

Food, drink, dirt: warm water + microfibre cloth
Sticky spots: mild pH-neutral cleaner, then wipe with clean water
Scuffs: a soft cloth and gentle rubbing usually works

Avoid abrasive pads. If you need to “scrub hard,” you’re usually using the wrong cleaner or letting build-up form.

6) Long-Term Maintenance Habits That Matter

SPC flooring doesn’t need sanding, polishing, or resealing. Long-term care is mostly about preventing the slow build-up of grime and protecting the surface.

The habits that make the biggest difference:

Vacuum/sweep often so grit doesn’t accumulate
Use minimal cleaner and always rinse if you overdo it
Keep it dry at seams and edges
Use furniture protection so you don’t create scratches in the first place

Bottom Line

SPC flooring is one of the easiest floors to maintain. Keep grit off it, mop with a damp microfibre (not a wet flood), avoid harsh chemicals and steam, and protect it from dragged furniture. Do that and your SPC flooring will stay clean, look sharp, and hold up in high-traffic areas for years.
