FAQs for DIY SPC Flooring
1. What is SPC flooring?
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring is a type of vinyl flooring that combines limestone and stabilisers to create an extremely durable core. It's a popular choice for its waterproof nature, ease of installation, and realistic wood or stone look.
2. What are the benefits of SPC flooring?
The benefits of SPC flooring include:
- Waterproof: Ideal for areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
- Durability: Resistant to dents, scratches, and stains.
- Easy Installation: Most SPC flooring comes with a click-lock system, making it simple to install.
- Low Maintenance: Easy to clean and maintain.
- Comfort: The rigid core offers more comfort underfoot compared to traditional vinyl.
3. Can I install SPC flooring myself?
Yes, SPC flooring is designed for easy DIY installation. It typically features a click-lock system that allows the planks to be installed without nails or glue. Basic tools and a little patience are usually all that is required.
4. Do I need any special tools to install SPC flooring?
Basic tools such as a tape measure, utility knife, rubber mallet, spacers, and a tapping block are usually sufficient for installing SPC flooring. Our planks are designed for easy cutting with a utility knife, making it simple to fit them into any space. For more complex cuts, like those around doorways or corners, a jigsaw or mitre saw may be useful.
5. Do I need to prepare my subfloor before installing SPC flooring?
Yes, the subfloor should be clean, dry, and level. SPC flooring can be installed over most existing floors, including concrete, tile, and wood, as long as the surface is even.
6. Do I need underlayment for SPC flooring?
While SPC flooring has an integrated underlayment, adding an additional underlayment can provide extra sound insulation and comfort. However, this is optional and depends on your specific needs.
7. Can SPC flooring be installed over radiant heating?
Yes, SPC flooring can be installed over most radiant heating systems. Be sure to check the manufacturer's guidelines for temperature limits and installation instructions.
8. How do I clean and maintain SPC flooring?
SPC flooring is low maintenance. Regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional mopping with a damp mop and a mild cleaner are usually sufficient. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or wax.
9. Is SPC flooring environmentally friendly?
SPC flooring is considered more environmentally friendly than traditional vinyl flooring because it contains no harmful chemicals like formaldehyde and can be recycled at the end of its life.
10. How long does SPC flooring last?
With proper care, SPC flooring can last 20-25 years or more. Its durability makes it suitable for both residential and commercial use.
11. Can I install SPC flooring in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes, SPC flooring is waterproof and ideal for areas with moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements.
12. What should I do if a plank gets damaged?
If a plank gets damaged, it can be replaced. You'll need to remove the damaged plank and install a new one. Depending on the layout, you may need to uninstall a few adjacent planks to reach the damaged one.
13. Can SPC flooring be installed on stairs?
Yes, SPC flooring can be installed on stairs, but you will need additional accessories like stair nosing for a professional finish. The installation process for stairs is more complex and may require additional tools and skills.
14. Is SPC flooring pet-friendly?
Yes, SPC flooring is highly durable and scratch-resistant, making it a great choice for homes with pets.
15. Does SPC flooring expand and contract?
SPC flooring has minimal expansion and contraction due to its rigid core. However, it's still advisable to leave a small expansion gap around the perimeter of the room to accommodate any slight movement.
16. Can I install SPC flooring over existing tiles?
Yes, as long as the tiles are even and in good condition, SPC flooring can be installed directly over them. Make sure the surface is level and free of any loose tiles or debris.
17. Is SPC flooring suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes, SPC flooring is ideal for high-traffic areas due to its durability and resistance to wear and tear.
18. Can SPC flooring be installed in homes with uneven subfloors?
While SPC flooring is more forgiving than some other types of flooring, significant irregularities in the subfloor should be addressed before installation. Small imperfections can often be corrected with a levelling compound, but larger issues may require more extensive preparation to ensure a smooth and even surface.
19. Can I install SPC flooring over carpet?
No, SPC flooring should not be installed over carpet. The carpet needs to be removed, and the subfloor should be prepared accordingly.
20. Are there any limitations to where SPC flooring can be installed?
SPC flooring is versatile and can be installed in most areas of a home. However, it's not recommended for areas exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause fading over time.
