Does rigid core flooring need underlayment?

 

As is often the case with luxury vinyl flooring, the underlayment may come pre-attached. However, if the flooring you want doesn't come with pre-attached underlayment, you will need to buy it. Underlayment is essential for your floor because it provides extra cushion, sound absorption, and thermal insulation, and it prolongs the life of your floor.

 

Does rigid core flooring need to acclimate?

 

Typically, you don't need to acclimate rigid core vinyl flooring before installation. The stone-plastic composite core is dimensionally stable, meaning it doesn't expand and contract with temperature changes. That means you don't need to wait for SPC vinyl to get used to the temperature of your space.However, you should still check the manufacturer's instructions to ensure acclimation isn't necessary.

 

Is SPC flooring toxic?

 

SPC vinyl flooring is a healthy flooring choice. It's free of toxic materials and carcinogens like formaldehyde. You can also find low-VOC or VOC-free rigid core flooring that is FloorScore certified to have high air quality standards. Just look for the FloorScore badge on our products.
