1. Wear Layer: The topmost layer of the SPC flooring is the wear layer. It is a transparent layer that provides protection against scratches, stains, and fading. This layer is crucial for maintaining the appearance and longevity of the flooring.
2. Vinyl Decorative Layer: Below the wear layer is the vinyl decorative layer. This layer contains the printed design, which can mimic various natural materials such as wood, stone, or tile. Advanced printing technology allows for realistic patterns and textures, enhancing the visual appeal of the flooring.
3. SPC rigid core Layer: The core layer is the heart of SPC flooring. It is composed of a mixture of natural limestone powder, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and stabilizers. This combination results in a rigid, stable core that provides excellent dimensional stability, resistance to expansion and contraction, and durability. The SPC core layer gives the flooring its strength and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic and impacts.
Underlayment (Optional): Some SPC flooring may come with an attached underlayment layer, which provides additional sound insulation and cushioning underfoot. While not always necessary, an underlayment layer can enhance comfort and reduce noise transmission in residential and commercial settings.
