Frequently asked questions about the quality of SPC flooring?
02/06/2025 1935
🔥🔥🔥 Customers often have questions about the quality of SPC flooring since this product line is still relatively new. To help everyone save time searching, KAHL will summarize answers to these common questions:
📌 Is SPC flooring good quality?
Compared to natural wood and laminate flooring, SPC flooring is considered a breakthrough in the flooring industry. Although it came later, SPC flooring carries the responsibility of overcoming the shortcomings of traditional flooring materials. As a result, SPC flooring is highly rated for many excellent features, including:
-
100% waterproof
-
Fire-resistant and heat-resistant up to 70°C
-
Environmentally friendly and safe for consumers’ health
-
Good impact resistance
-
High sound insulation
-
Easy to install
👉 However, like other materials, SPC flooring comes in various qualities—from standard, certified products to low-quality, uncertified ones. Nowadays, seeing SPC’s popularity, many suppliers take advantage by mixing and distributing poor-quality products. Therefore, be cautious when choosing and purchasing to avoid unwanted risks.
📌 Does SPC flooring fade?
Yes. Low-quality SPC or improper use can cause fading.
There are several causes for SPC flooring fading, with the three most common being:
-
Changes in temperature, pressure, and UV radiation from sunlight, which cause the fastest discoloration.
-
Daily use causes wear and tear on the protective surface layer, affecting the decorative film underneath.
-
Poor-quality SPC or faulty installation.
However, SPC fading occurs slowly. If you buy good-quality SPC and use it properly, the color can last 15-20 years. It’s best to avoid exposing the floor surface to direct sunlight for extended periods.
👉 All SPC flooring distributed by KAHL has a UV coating on the surface to protect against UV rays, minimizing fading risks even if used improperly.
📌 Does SPC flooring get termite damage?
No.
Termites thrive in damp wood environments. However, since the core of SPC flooring is made from calcium carbonate (CaCO3) limestone powder and PVC resin, SPC is completely moisture-resistant and provides no chance for termites to survive.
📌 Does SPC flooring get moldy?
SPC flooring only gets moldy if the product is low quality or fails to meet standards.
Like termites, mold grows in damp, poorly ventilated environments. High-quality SPC floors will not develop mold. However, if you buy cheap products with poor quality or install incorrectly, mold can grow on the underlayer in contact with the substrate, causing unpleasant odors.
📌 Does SPC flooring warp, shrink, or expand?
No.
SPC flooring is extremely stable across various environments, weather conditions, and humidity levels because it contains no wood. Therefore, it does not warp, shrink, expand, or shift.
📌 Does SPC flooring make noise when walked on?
Usually, noises from SPC flooring occur due to careless supervision during installation and project inspection. The locking mechanism (click-lock) can break during installation, and after a few days, the floor may start producing annoying noises.
Therefore, besides paying attention to SPC quality, proper installation is essential to minimize risks and avoid extra repair costs.
📌 How long does SPC flooring last?
Basically, two main factors affect the lifespan of SPC flooring: product quality and user care.
Since SPC flooring undergoes strict quality control before shipping, branded products with clear origin are more durable. Their resistance to scratches, impacts, temperature, and environment is better than low-quality, uncertified cheap floors.
SPC flooring has a long lifespan.
Additionally, following supplier recommendations and proper usage will increase the lifespan and quality of SPC flooring. KAHL’s distributed SPC floors have an average lifespan of up to 20 years.
Tips to maintain SPC flooring quality
With so many advantages, does SPC flooring require maintenance? Yes, but it’s not complicated. Besides regular cleaning, keep in mind:
-
Use curtains to reduce light and heat during peak hours and avoid exposing the floor to direct sunlight for extended periods.
-
Use mild cleaners for stains, apply on a soft cloth first, and never pour directly on the floor.
-
Avoid dragging heavy or sharp-edged furniture. Lift furniture when moving and place heavy items on protective pads.
-
Maintain good ventilation and avoid closing rooms for long periods.
-
Do not place very hot objects directly on the floor.
