What's the difference between SPC Flooring and Hybrid Vinyl flooring

The type of flooring that you use for your home can make a huge difference. SPC flooring and hybrid vinyl flooring are two popular flooring types. Here is an assessment of which type of flooring might be the better choice for you.

What is SPC flooring?

SPC flooring refers to stone polymer composite flooring. It’s stylish, practical, as well as affordable, making it a perfect choice for many homeowners. SPC flooring is a type of vinyl flooring material that is very durable. It has a rigid core construction that is made from powdered limestone, polyvinyl chloride and stabilisers. 

 

Water- and impact-resistant, SPC flooring is great for many purposes. Whether you want to upgrade your gym or kitchen flooring, SPC can be a fantastic choice for any space. 

 

What is hybrid vinyl flooring?

Hybrid vinyl flooring is typically cheaper than other types of vinyl flooring. It’s fairly durable and hard to wear down. 

Hybrid vinyl flooring is more durable and has a thicker core than classic LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring, which makes it an upgrade over other types of vinyl. However, it is harder for it to be considered preferable to SPC flooring. 

 

This kind of flooring can be used for both commercial and residential purposes.

Why is SPC flooring better than hybrid vinyl flooring?

 

Both SPC and hybrid vinyl flooring are waterproof and durable. They can provide you with years of stability in your flooring. 

One difference between SPC and vinyl flooring is the hybrid flooring wear layer. SPC flooring can be more susceptible to certain types of chemical stains, as well as fading. Unfortunately, hybrid vinyl flooring is, however, more prone to being scratched or dented. 

Another potential issue with hybrid vinyl flooring is that it can be noticeably pricier than SPC flooring options. Hybrid vinyl flooring cannot be repaired, can be less eco-friendly, and may be difficult to remove due if certain adhesives are used during the installation process.

When directly compared, SPC flooring has an edge over hybrid vinyl flooring. If you want an affordable and durable flooring option, stone polymer composite flooring is likely the option for you.
