Questions

SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring is a rigid core vinyl flooring made from limestone powder, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and stabilizers, making it exceptionally durable and 100% waterproof.

SPC consists of four layers: a wear layer (scratch and stain protection), a decorative layer (realistic wood or stone design), a rigid core (stone plastic composite), and a backing layer (for stability and sound absorption).

SPC flooring is waterproof, durable, scratch-resistant, and low-maintenance, making it ideal for both residential homes and commercial spaces across all areas including wet zones.

SPC has a rigid stone-composite core, unlike traditional vinyl which has a flexible core. This makes SPC more dimensionally stable, durable, and resistant to temperature fluctuations — ideal for the UAE climate.

Yes, in most cases. SPC is 100% waterproof while laminate is not. SPC also provides superior stability, durability, and performs better in humid climates — making it particularly well-suited for Dubai and the UAE.

No. While both are vinyl-based, SPC features a rigid stone-plastic core whereas LVT has a flexible core. SPC offers enhanced durability, stability, and is better suited for areas with temperature changes.

Yes. SPC flooring is manufactured with low VOC emissions, contains no formaldehyde, and is 100% recyclable — making it a responsible choice for eco-conscious homeowners and businesses.

No. SPC flooring is a synthetic material with a highly realistic wood-look design layer. It offers the aesthetic appeal of hardwood at a fraction of the cost, with far better moisture resistance.

Installation speed varies by pattern. Straight patterns average 40 sqm per day; herringbone and chevron patterns average around 25 sqm per day. Congested or complex areas run approximately 30% slower.

Yes, provided the existing tiles are intact without major cracks or damage. Any tile repairs required prior to installation will incur additional costs.

Yes, but the floor must be level and smooth. Any leveling work required adds to installation expenses. We assess subfloor conditions before every project.

It is not strictly required, but it is recommended for better aesthetics and a clean, professional finishing. Our team can advise on what's best for your specific space.

Most SPC products include an attached underlayment. However, adding extra underlayment can enhance underfoot comfort and further reduce noise transmission — especially useful in apartments and multi-storey buildings.

Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove debris. Use a damp mop with a mild cleaner for deeper cleaning. Avoid excessive water pooling and harsh chemical cleaners that may degrade the wear layer over time.

Minor scratches can often be fixed with flooring repair kits. For heavily damaged planks, individual planks can be replaced without disturbing the entire floor — one of the key advantages of the click-lock system.

Yes. A small expansion gap of 5–10mm along walls and fixed objects is recommended to allow for minor natural movement, ensuring long-term stability and preventing buckling.

Yes, SPC's click-lock system is designed for ease of installation. However, professional installation ensures proper subfloor preparation, accurate expansion gaps, and a flawless finish — especially for herringbone and chevron patterns.

No. SPC is a floating floor system and does not require adhesive. It is designed to float freely above the subfloor, which also makes future replacement or upgrades easier.

Yes. We recommend letting SPC flooring acclimate in the installation environment for 24–48 hours before laying. This allows the planks to adjust to room temperature and humidity for optimal results.

No. Unlike solid hardwood, SPC cannot be sanded or refinished. However, its durable wear layer means it maintains its appearance for many years without needing refinishing.

Additional charges may apply for door trimming, floor leveling, skirting replacement, and removal of existing flooring. We provide a transparent breakdown in every quote — no hidden surprises.

Price varies based on pattern type, shade selection, and material quality. Please visit our pricing page or contact us directly for a detailed, no-obligation quote tailored to your project.

Yes. We offer a 10-year product warranty and a 5-year installation warranty (terms and conditions apply). Our warranty reflects our confidence in the quality of our materials and workmanship.

Yes. SPC flooring enhances the aesthetic appeal and durability of a space, making it an attractive feature for prospective buyers and tenants — particularly herringbone and chevron layouts in premium spaces.

Yes. SPC is significantly more affordable than solid hardwood while offering a comparable aesthetic and superior durability. It also requires no refinishing and is fully waterproof — advantages hardwood cannot match.

Yes. Both herringbone and chevron require more precision cutting, additional material (10–15% extra), and more skilled labor — making them moderately more expensive than a standard straight pattern installation.

Absolutely. SPC is waterproof and highly durable, making it one of the best flooring choices for kitchens where spills and moisture are common. Easy to clean and maintain.

Yes, but only in dry areas of the bathroom. SPC is not recommended for direct shower areas or wet rooms where water exposure is constant and prolonged.

Yes. SPC is scratch-resistant and waterproof, making it an excellent choice for pet owners. The wear layer stands up well to claws, and any accidents can be cleaned up easily without damage.

Yes. Its rigid core and protective wear layer make SPC ideal for high-traffic commercial spaces, hallways, offices, and retail environments — maintaining its appearance under heavy daily use.

Yes. SPC includes a sound-absorbing backing layer that reduces impact noise — making it ideal for apartments, offices, and multi-storey buildings where noise reduction matters.

Yes. SPC has fire-retardant properties, offering better fire safety than many traditional flooring options. This also makes it suitable for commercial buildings with fire safety requirements.

No. SPC remains temperature stable and comfortable underfoot even in cooler climates. Its backing layer also adds a degree of thermal insulation.

Unlike traditional vinyl or laminate, SPC's rigid stone-composite core minimizes expansion and contraction due to temperature changes — making it stable and reliable in the UAE's extreme summer conditions.

No. SPC is designed exclusively for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, rain, and extreme outdoor weather conditions can cause damage and reduce its lifespan.

Yes. SPC planks can be installed as decorative wall panels, feature walls, or accent surfaces for a unique and stylish aesthetic — a growing trend in modern interiors.

Yes. However, we recommend using furniture pads under heavy pieces to distribute weight evenly and prevent potential dents or indentations over time.

No. SPC flooring is low in VOCs and free from harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, making it safe and odor-free for indoor use — even immediately after installation.

A straight (or linear) pattern is the most common layout where planks are placed parallel to each other in a straight line, either horizontally or vertically. It is the easiest, fastest, and most cost-effective installation option.

A herringbone pattern is a zigzag design where planks are placed at 90-degree angles to each other, creating a dynamic and visually striking look. It is a timeless choice for luxury homes, hotels, and upscale offices.

A chevron pattern is similar to herringbone but with planks cut at an angle (typically 45° or 60°) so they form a continuous, seamless V-shape — creating a bold directional flow across the floor.

In herringbone, planks meet at right angles (90°) with an overlapping zigzag. In chevron, planks are cut at angles and meet at a point to form a seamless V-shape with continuous directional flow — a subtler but more refined look.

The straight pattern is the easiest and fastest — it requires minimal cutting and no special alignment. Herringbone and chevron require precision cutting, careful planning, and skilled installation.

Straight patterns laid lengthwise make rooms appear larger and more open. Herringbone and chevron can make small spaces feel busier and more dynamic — better suited to larger rooms where they can be fully appreciated.

Herringbone and chevron are widely used in luxury homes, five-star hotels, and high-end offices for their elegant, sophisticated appeal. They instantly elevate the perceived value of any space.

The straight pattern is the most affordable — it requires less cutting, generates less material waste, and takes less labor time. It is the recommended choice for budget-conscious projects and rental properties.

Herringbone and chevron create a dramatic, dynamic visual effect in hallways and elongated spaces. Straight patterns laid lengthwise make long rooms appear clean and spacious.

Yes. Due to the precision cuts and angular alignment required, these patterns generate 10–15% more material waste than a straight installation. Factor this into your budget and material order.

Straight patterns suit minimalist and contemporary design styles perfectly. Chevron offers a sleek, high-end modern aesthetic. Herringbone bridges classic and modern beautifully.

Herringbone is a timeless, enduring choice for traditional and vintage interior styles. Its use in European heritage buildings and classic architecture makes it universally associated with refinement.

Yes. Many clients use straight patterns in bedrooms for simplicity and herringbone or chevron in living and common areas for a stylish contrast. Our design team can help you plan the transitions.

The straight pattern is cost-effective, widely appealing, durable, and easy to maintain — making it the most practical and popular choice for rental units and investment properties.

Not at all. These classic patterns remain highly on-trend, especially in luxury and modern interior design. Their enduring elegance means they never go out of style.
