There is a wide range of flooring options in Australia. Yet, not all of these are fit for bedroom installations. There are floorings more appropriate for bedrooms than others, and one of the most recommended is SPC flooring.
SPC flooring is a type of vinyl flooring that emulates the look of luxury wood. Also called Stone Plastic Composite or Stone Polymer Composite, this flooring option is advertised as an engineered luxury vinyl flooring. Some manufacturers also call this “Rigid Vinyl Plank” or “Waterproof Vinyl Flooring”.
This type of vinyl flooring has four layers. First, the bottom part of the flooring is an underlayment. This layer takes care of the sound reduction and cushion of the flooring. The next layer is the core, which is the spine or backbone of the plank.
The third layer is the wood emulation layer. Depending on the wood to copy, the look of this layer varies. Finally, at the top of the design layer is the wear. The wear is the topcoat that protects the design layer from superficial damages.
What makes the SPC flooring unique from other types of flooring is its core. This type of flooring has a rigid core. It is mostly made from polyvinyl chloride, limestones, and other stabilising agents.
Together, these four layers make the SPC flooring easy to install, durable, and aesthetically pleasing.
Using SPC flooring as a client’s main bedroom flooring has numerous benefits. Here are some of the main reasons why this type of flooring is suitable for bedrooms:
Bedrooms tend to be a person’s safe and quiet place. Therefore, it would not make sense to use flooring that makes sounds at the drop of a hat. Instead, using more sound-resistant flooring is preferable.
SPC flooring is a type of flooring that is highly resistant to sound. Of course, this does not mean that this flooring is soundproof. Instead, this means that this produces less sound compared to other floorings. Even if people walk around or drop their items on the floor, SPC floorings will lessen the noise.
Most people walk into their bedrooms with their bare feet. Having a cold floor in the bedroom can get uncomfortable. With the help of SPC flooring, the cold will not easily penetrate through the floor. Clients will have a more comfortable time walking freely in their bedroom, even with just the soles of their feet.
Having waterproof flooring is crucial, especially in bedrooms. Numerous types of accidents may cause water spillage on bedrooms floors. Simply carrying a glass of water can lead to spills. Walking to the bedroom straight from the bathroom can make the flooring wet as well. Since these are unavoidable, it is vital to make bedrooms floors resistant to water or moisture damages. Installing an SPC flooring is the solution to this. Not only does this provide a nice floor design, but it is also water-resistant (unlike actual wooden flooring).
A bedroom is where large furniture items are often placed. From large wardrobes and cabinets to bedframes, clients often move these around freely within their homes. It is therefore vital that the floorings they choose are not easily displaced by large furniture movements. With SPC flooring, clients are assured that even large and heavy furniture items will not be able to easily peel away the floor material.
Hardwood floors are usually considered the ‘holy grail’ of flooring solutions for peoples homes, but not only are they prohibitively expensive but they also don’t have the same benefits as SPC flooring. With SPC flooring you can get a wide range of styles so that your planks will look just like hardwood flooring whilst also being waterproof. Doesn’t get much better than that!
Because each plank comes with a pre-attached underlayer with foam, the planks are more cushioned than other flooring types. So SPC planks are a great choice if you are looking for a plank that is both comfortable to walk on but also quiet!
Because of its many layers of construction, SPC flooring is really easy to maintain, which for the kitchen, makes your life a lot easier. Since it is resistant to impacts, stains, scratches, and general wear and tear, SPC planks are our go-to recommendation for the kitchen. Maintenance is so simple it just requires regular vacuuming or sweeping, and the occasional mop.
Aside from the reasons why SPC flooring is ideal for bedrooms, this material also has other advantages. Here are some of the other benefits that come with using SPC flooring:
Cutting and installing SPC floorings is incredibly easy. Unlike regular wood, stone or tiles, no special power tools are necessary when cutting SPC planks. People can easily cut this material using their trusty utility knife.
Additionally, most SPC flooring products are easy to install. There is no need for flues or nails. Instead, the SPC plans have interlocking grooves that snap together.
To a certain extent, floorings with an uneven surface can also use this. However, floors with high levels of unevenness need to be levelled before SPC flooring installation.
SPC floorings can last for an extended period. This is due to its resistance to various types of damages like water damages, moisture damages, peels, or heavyweights. The dense core of the SPC floor makes it highly resistant to damage. It is also resistant to expansion or contraction. As such, even with unpredictable temperature changes, the durability and stability of SPC flooring will not fail.
One of the best things about SPC flooring is the range of style options available. Since the design is technically printed on vinyl, manufacturers can offer various design options to their clients. They can choose the style that works for them – from sunken grey to chestnut-coloured floors.
