What is LVT?
LVT (luxury vinyl tile) is a flexible vinyl floor with realistic wood and stone looks. It's softer, warmer and quieter underfoot — great for homes and offices.
What is SPC?
SPC (stone plastic composite) is a rigid-core vinyl. The stone-composite core makes it more waterproof, more dimensionally stable in heat, and tougher for heavy traffic.
LVT vs SPC — the key differences
- Core: LVT flexible · SPC rigid stone core
- Waterproof: both 100% · SPC handles wet + heat best
- Comfort/sound: LVT warmer & quieter · SPC firmer
- Durability: SPC best for commercial & high-traffic
- Subfloor: SPC hides minor imperfections better
Which should you choose?
Choose SPC for offices, retail, sun-exposed or wet areas and heavy traffic. Choose LVT for homes and comfort-first spaces. Not sure? Send us your project and we'll recommend the right one.
