FAQ

01.Does SPC vinyl floor need underlayment?
SPC vinyl floor needs proper underlayment during use to protect the floor, enhance its durability, and prolong its service life. The underlay acts as a cushion to prevent direct friction between the floor and hard objects, reducing wear and scratches and making the floor surface smoother. In addition, the underlayment can also insulate the ground temperature and humidity, preventing moisture and mildew, which can be beneficial for health. Therefore, if you want to make SPC vinyl flooring more aesthetically pleasing, durable, and easy to maintain, we recommend using underlayment during laying.
02.Does SPC flooring need an expansion gap?
Expansion joints are required for SPC flooring. Even though SPC flooring has good stability and durability, when installing, there is still a need for some space between the edges and the room to allow the floor to move as it naturally expands and contracts. Without expansion joints, SPC flooring may warp or crack due to stress, compromising the integrity and aesthetics of the floor. Therefore, when installing SPC flooring, please follow the manufacturer's recommendations and set up expansion joints as required to ensure that your flooring remains stable, durable and beautiful during use.
03.Can I install SPC flooring myself?
Generally speaking, the installation of SPC flooring is relatively simple, and some people can complete the installation themselves. However, for a successful installation to be successful, you need to have certain DIY skills and tools, as well as enough time and patience. Before installation, you need to prepare relevant tools and materials, such as cutting tools, waterproof layer, baseboards, etc. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to some details when installing SPC flooring, such as the preparation of substrates, floor positioning, pavement direction and structure. Therefore, if you do not have experience in this area yourself, it is recommended to find a professional installation service company or worker to help install it to ensure that the SPC flooring you install can achieve the desired effect and have a longer service life.
