SPC flooring is a type of rigid core vinyl flooring, distinguished by its unique multi-layer construction. Each layer is engineered to deliver specific performance characteristics, resulting in a synergistic product superior to many traditional flooring options.

Wear Layer–The transparent top coat, typically composed of polyurethane with added alumina or ceramic beads. This layer provides resistance against scratches, stains, scuffs, and fading from UV exposure. Its thickness, measured in mils, directly correlates with the floor’s durability and longevity.

Decorative Layer–A high-resolution photographic film that replicates the authentic appearance of natural materials like wood, stone, or ceramic. Advanced printing technology allows for incredible realism, with deep grains, varied textures, and a vast array of design choices.

SPC Core Layer-– This is the heart of the product. It is a dense, compact composite made from a mixture of Limestone (Calcium Carbonate), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and stabilizers. The high mineral content creates an incredibly rigid, dense plank that is dimensionally stable, waterproof, and resistant to indentation.

Underlayment/Backing Layer— Many SPC products feature an attached underlayment, usually made from IXPE (cross-linked polyethylene) foam. This layer provides acoustic insulation (dampening sound), underfoot comfort, moisture barrier enhancement, and helps smooth over minor subfloor imperfections.

Key Performance Advantages of SPC Flooring

100% Waterproof— The dense SPC core is impervious to water. Unlike traditional wood or even some laminates, it will not swell, warp, or buckle when exposed to moisture, making it ideal for basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and commercial wet areas.

Exceptional Dimensional Stability— The limestone-rich core minimizes thermal expansion and contraction. SPC flooring can be installed in areas with significant temperature fluctuations, such as sunrooms or over in-floor heating systems, without risk of gapping or buckling.

Superior Durability and Dent Resistance— Its rigid composition offers outstanding resistance to impacts and permanent indentation from heavy furniture, appliances, or high heels—a notable advantage over some softer vinyl or laminate products.
Easy Maintenance– Requiring only regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner, SPC floors are exceptionally low-maintenance. They resist stains and do not require waxing or sealing.

Comfort and Acoustics— The attached underlayment provides a more comfortable underfoot feel compared to ceramic tile and contributes to a quieter environment by reducing impact noise.
Versatile Aesthetics– With endless designs, SPC flooring offers the beauty of natural materials without their associated cost, maintenance, or installation complexities.

1. Exceptional Durability and Protection
Hotel corridors experience constant traffic from guests and luggage carts, making impacts and abrasion unavoidable. Vinyl wall guard is made from high-density PVC composite materials and reinforced with an internal aluminum alloy backing, providing extremely high surface hardness and impact resistance. It effectively withstands accidental collisions from luggage corners and scratches from furniture movement, protecting the wall structure from damage. This keeps walls looking new for years and significantly reduces refurbishment costs caused by wear and tear.

2. Superior Water, Moisture, and Stain Resistance
Hotels require frequent cleaning and disinfection. Vinyl wall guard is waterproof, moisture-resistant, and mold-resistant. Its specially treated surface is smooth and dense, preventing stains from penetrating. Routine cleaning requires only a quick wipe with a damp cloth to restore its clean appearance, greatly reducing housekeeping workload while maintaining high hygiene standards.

3. Excellent Fire Resistance and Environmental Safety
Safety is the lifeline of any hotel. High-quality vinyl wall guards strictly comply with national fire-retardant standards for building materials (typically achieving Class B1), featuring self-extinguishing properties when removed from the flame. This effectively slows the spread of fire, buying valuable time for evacuation and emergency response. At the same time, environmentally friendly formulations ensure extremely low formaldehyde emissions (up to E0 level) and no unpleasant odors, providing a healthy and safe indoor environment for both guests and staff.

4. Rich Decorative Options and Enhanced Spatial Aesthetics
Vinyl wall guard offers a wide variety of styles and color combinations, allowing it to perfectly complement any hotel design theme. Whether creating a luxurious European classical atmosphere or a sleek modern business environment, it enhances the overall visual quality and elevates the interior design standard.

5. Convenient and Efficient Installation and Maintenance
Wall guards are typically installed using a modular panel system, with relatively flexible requirements for wall surface flatness. Installation is fast and produces minimal dust. This allows hotels to complete renovations or partial upgrades quickly while minimizing operational disruptions. If a single panel is damaged later, it can be replaced individually without large-scale repairs, keeping maintenance costs low.
