If you need a floor that survives a flooded basement, a commercial kitchen, or a rental unit where tenants forget to close windows — SPC is usually the answer. It contains no wood, so there is nothing to swell. That single fact solves about 80% of the complaints we hear from importers about laminate and engineered wood.
MINGZUN runs 3 SPC extrusion lines at our Dongying factory, producing rigid core plank from 3.5mm to 8mm with wear layers from 0.2mm to 0.5mm. Below is the same technical brief our export team sends to buyers — including where SPC is the wrong choice.
Every line below is customizable. The value in bold is what most buyers choose.
| Product Name | SPC Flooring (Stone Plastic Composite rigid core) |
|---|---|
| Core Material | Calcium carbonate (~60–65%) + virgin PVC + stabilizers. No recycled PVC, no wood filler. |
| Thickness | 3.5mm / 4mm / 5mm / 6mm / 7mm / 8mm |
| Wear Layer | 0.2mm / 0.3mm / 0.4mm / 0.5mm — 0.3mm is standard for residential + light commercial; 0.5mm for retail and hospitality |
| Plank Size | 6"×36" (152×914mm) / 6"×48" (152×1220mm) / 7"×48" (180×1220mm) / 9"×48" (230×1220mm) / custom tooling available |
| Edge Style | Micro-bevel / T-groove / U-groove / painted bevel |
| Click System | Unilin / Välinge / double click / single click — licensed systems, not copies |
| Surface Finish | Embossed in register (EIR) / wood texture / stone texture / plain matte / hand-scraped |
| Backing | IXPE 1.0–1.5mm / EVA 1.0–2.0mm / none (bare core). IXPE is worth the extra cost — it doesn't compress flat after 2 years the way EVA can. |
| Water Resistance | 100% waterproof core. Surface water, spills, and standing water do not affect the plank. Seams are not a water barrier — prolonged flooding still requires extraction. |
| Fire Performance | B1 (GB 8624) / Bfl-s1 (EN 13501-1). Self-extinguishing within 5 seconds of flame removal. No toxic gas release. |
| Slip Resistance | R10 standard / R11 available for wet areas (DIN 51130) |
| Certification | ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 / ISO 45001 / CE — reports shipped with each export batch |
| Colour / Packaging | Fully customizable. Printed carton, your brand and language. |
| MOQ | 1 × 20GP. Mixed designs allowed up to 4 per container. |
| Applications | Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, offices, retail, hotel rooms, clinics, schools. Not for outdoor, sauna, or areas with floor drains. |
| Installation | Floating click-lock. No glue, no nails. Compatible with underfloor heating up to 27°C surface temperature. |
A properly made SPC plank is five layers pressed into one rigid board. Cutting costs on any single layer is where cheap SPC fails — usually within 18 months. Here's the stack from top to bottom:
We get asked "can I use this in the bathroom?" more than any other question. Here is the honest answer, room by room:
Spills wipe clean. Grease and wine don't stain the wear layer. Handles dropped pots better than laminate.
Waterproof core, R10 grip. Fine for a family bathroom. Run a bead of silicone at the perimeter — seams aren't a water barrier.
Humidity doesn't swell SPC. Best choice among rigid floors for below-grade spaces without a moisture barrier.
Choose 0.5mm wear layer and 6–8mm thickness. R11 for entrances and wet zones.
Compatible up to 27°C surface temperature. Must acclimatize 48h at room temperature before install.
Standing water against seams will find a way through. Use tile or a fully sealed system.
UV and thermal cycling break down any interior SPC. We don't sell outdoor-rated SPC — if a supplier tells you theirs is, ask for the test report.
Click joints need a firm surface. Carpet underneath causes the locking profile to fail.
We sell all three. Here's the honest comparison we give buyers who are deciding what to import:
| Factor | SPC | LVT (dryback / loose lay) | Laminate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | 100% — core is waterproof | Waterproof core, but seams can lift | Moisture-resistant only; swells if water reaches the core |
| Rigidity | Rigid — bridges up to 3mm/2m subfloor variance | Flexible — needs a smooth, flat subfloor | Rigid but thinner boards telegraph subfloor |
| Feel underfoot | Firm, hard — closer to tile | Softer, warmer — closest to real wood | Hard, slightly hollow on thin boards |
| Formaldehyde | None — no wood, no resin | None | E1 minimum; E0 / CARB P2 available |
| Scratch resistance | Good (0.3mm+) | Lower — soft surface | Highest with AC4/AC5 |
| Fire rating | B1 / Bfl-s1 — self-extinguishing | B1 available | B2 typically |
| Best for | Bathrooms, basements, kitchens, commercial, humid climates | Bedrooms, living rooms, warm-dry interiors | Bedrooms, living rooms, dry climates, budget projects |
| Relative FOB cost | Mid–high | Mid | Low–mid |
Fully waterproof surface. Made from synthetic materials with no wood or organic content, SPC will not swell, warp or delaminate when exposed to water — even in kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms.
Fire-retardant core. Flame-retardant mineral fillers allow the plank to self-extinguish within 5 seconds of removing the flame source. Rated Class B1 — second only to stone. No toxic or suffocating gas is released during combustion.
We hold authoritative certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and CE.
Tell us the application — bathroom, basement, retail, whatever it is — and we'll tell you straight whether SPC fits, or point you to LVT or laminate instead.

This SPC flooring features a stable locking structure, with a low installation threshold. Even ordinary users can easily and independently DIY the laying process.
The board surface is equipped with a professional anti-ultraviolet protection coating, showing excellent waterproof and moisture-proof performance, and is suitable for various humid daily scenarios.
The surface layer is thickened with a wear-resistant protection layer, effectively resisting daily impacts and wear, significantly extending the service life.
The product is applicable in a wide range of scenarios, including home living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, study rooms, corridors, and commercial meeting rooms, etc. It combines practicality and adaptability.
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) is 100% waterproof and more rigid than LVT, making it ideal for uneven subfloors. Laminate is cheaper but not waterproof. LVT is more flexible but less impact-resistant. MINGZUN SPC flooring combines the best of both.
