SPC & Resilient Flooring — Procurement Guide
SPC, LVT and homogeneous PVC serve healthcare, education and commercial spaces. Focus on wear layer, slip resistance, VOC and underfloor heating.
Four checks before you buy
A short framework for buyers who are new to this material
Wear & Slip
Commercial zones need thick wear layers; wet areas require R-value or pendulum slip test reports.
Healthcare & Antimicrobial
Hospitals use homogeneous PVC or antimicrobial SPC; confirm disinfectant resistance and welded seams.
Subfloor & Install
SPC is flatness-sensitive; heated floors need max surface temperature and expansion joint details.
Brand Selection
Tarkett, Gerflor, LG Hausys, Lamett color charts and trims should stay within the same system.
