#1 “Printed decor of SPC Flooring can look repetitive once laid”

Unlike many other manufacturers, An Cuong Flooring makes sure our products offset the print each time, meaning that the same feature (for example a knot in the wood) will feature but will be in a different position each time, resulting in completely unique planks. This eliminates the overall pattern repetition, meaning the flooring has a more authentic look, as no two planks are the exactly same.

#2 “SPC floors are outdated and unattractive”

No way! An Cuong Flooring is proud to have some of the most stylish SPC Floor in the market. SPC Flooring these days is able to mimic stone, wood, and carpet and has more long-term benefits than all of them put together!

We have an in-house design team that forms a colour collection and take the hottest trends and styles and then produces them into beautiful planks that are the epitome of modern interiors.

There are lots of instances where we have had people not be able to tell the difference between some hardwoods and our SPC flooring.

#3 “SPC Flooring and Laminate are the same”

In many respects, yes. But while they have much in common there are a few very important differences that set them aside from one another. Before you jump into a flooring project, it’s probably a good idea to get an understanding of the basics to help with your decision.

First, the composition of both is VERY different.

SPC flooring is a newer innovation that makes it a far cry from the plastic you see in older homes. It’s made of high – tech compound materials from PVC and superfine powder while the top layer is coated with UV and wearlayer to increase scratch resistance and ease of cleaning.

Therefore, it’s better suited for imitating materials like timber, stone, granite, and concrete. This composition gives it superior resistance to moisture as it doesn’t contain absorbent fibers. When considering moisture exposure, SPC flooring is a clear winner. It also has a longer lifespan and overall durability.

Laminate is a compressed fibrous product that simulates the look of real hardwood. It’s composed of several layers of rigid, high-density fiberboards that are laminated together into planks.

Laminate flooring doesn’t last as long as SPC floor and in many cases, needs to be replaced within 10 years of installation. The image on the surface is not protected by a wear layer, unlike SPC floor.

Both are comparable when it comes to cleaning, installation, and cost but in terms of being quieter underfoot, SPC Floor is better at absorbing more noise compared to laminate.

To summarize, SPC flooring is a better choice when you need water resistance, lifespan, and durability in your flooring.

#4 “SPC floor is not suitable for a Kitchen”

Quite the opposite.

Thanks to its strong surface layer, the SPC floor is the ideal flooring for intensely used and wet rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms.

SPC floor also ability in slip-resistant to help safe use.

SPC floor will be unaffected by the humidity of the kitchen area. In fact, it is particularly suitable for high moisture and humidity rooms like kitchens or bathrooms. It is very easy to maintain and you can remove any spillage with a wet mop, making it an ideal choice.

#5 “SPC Flooring is not Durable”

Absolutely not!

Both SPC Flooring and ceramic tile are known to be durable flooring options. However, ceramic can chip and crack over time. Ceramic tile is more prone to damage (think dropping something heavy on the surface) than SPC Flooring. SPC Floor is also a better option if you have children or pets.

Our Commercial ranges are also designed with quality, durability and style in mind. An Cuong Flooring range of commercial SPC floor is suitable for a wide variety of commercial applications including retail, healthcare, education, IT, and commercial interiors.

There are strict flooring safety standards for us to adhere to, and we always meet each one with flying colors.

Interior decorators and architects study long and hard to master the art of color matching. So, don’t feel inadequate if, when choosing the perfect floor color to complement your interior, you are baffled by the endless possibilities. However, An Cuong Flooring is happy to offer you a few basic tips.

Tip 1: The room size

No matter how big or small the room is, the color of your floor will always have a major impact on the feeling of space you get in a room. Is your room large and wide? Then you might want to consider using warm or dark tones, like wengé or walnut, for your new floor. These colors tend to make large rooms seem smaller, which makes them a lot cozier.

And the best part is, this effect also works in the other direction. If you are cramped for space in a tiny room, using the right colors can make all the difference. Try using lighter, natural floor colors like beiges or light oak. These shades have the ability to really open up a room, without you having to throw out half of your furniture.

Tip 2: The effect of colors

The way you decorate and the colors you choose for your floor and walls will have a huge impact on the atmosphere in the room. Light colors will give the space a sunnier, happier feel. Shades of yellow stand for optimism and fun, while white and light beige will give the room a sense of openness and purity. Want to keep your interior peaceful and cool? Then go for timeless grey tones. An interior dominated by brown colors will have a very natural and rustic feel, while black stands for luxury and class. A black floor also gives the room a powerful and dramatic edge, full of contrast.

Tip 3: Use the light

Throughout the day, the lighting in your room changes gradually. Judging a floor sample color at night, in artificial light, will give you a very different impression than during mid-afternoon in the natural sunlight. So make sure you judge the samples at different times of the day, with different lighting. Take a second to think about what kind of light you want for your new floor. A kitchen you walk in and out of all day long, a bedroom that’s night-only, or a children’s playroom that they only use in the afternoon… every room type has its own unique lighting.

Tip 4: Mind the bigger picture

Don’t choose your floor color based on an empty room. Make sure it also matches the broader style and feel you want to give your interior. Do you have some design furniture that you want to emphasize? Then use natural colors, that will create a neutral canvas and allow your furniture to take center stage. Red tones bring a sense of luxury and go well with heavy, colonial furnishings. In general, brown tints are the best match for a country-style interior.

It’s always a good idea to take along some elements that represent your interior. A throw pillow, a paint chip, or a cabinet wood sample from the room that’s getting a new floor, can be a great help to determine the right color. Using these samples will make your decision a lot easier.

SPC Flooring is a popular flooring material for many commercial applications for many of the same reasons it is so popular for residential applications. It is water-resistant and low maintenance, which helps to control upkeep costs, and it is relatively durable so you will not have to replace it very often. It is also available in a wide variety of colors, textures, and style options. It can even be printed to simulate the look of hardwood, stone, or carpet.

When it comes to commercial SPC flooring, you get what you pay for. The quality of the material that you purchase will have a direct impact on how well it will withstand the rigors of varying levels of foot traffic.

With SPC flooring, the colors are homogenous through the entire piece of material dimensionally, so you don’t have to worry about them fading away through wear.

• Commercial SPC Flooring Warranties

In many cases, the residential and commercial warranty on materials will vary. Make sure that the distributor knows the level of traffic that you are expecting so that they can accurately adjust the warranty to your specific situation.

Remember that the warranty only covers manufacturer defects. These are most often misprints of colors or sheets and tiles that do not line up properly. It does not cover installation mistakes, which are the most common cause of SPC flooring problems later.

• Long-Term Issues With Commercial SPC Floors

+Dull surface

Dulling of the SPC’s surface finish is probably the most common long-term issue with commercial product installation. This is caused by small pieces of dirt, sand, and debris being tracked across the floor by shoes and the wind. As these tiny particles scrape across the floor, they act like the grits of a piece of sandpaper, scratching and marring the surface of the SPC.

Solutions: The easiest way to prevent dulling of your SPC floors is to keep them free of those tiny particles that can harm them. Sweeping, vacuuming, or mopping periodically can do a lot to help protect a SPC floor in a high-traffic area. The use of floor mats at entrances and exterior doorways can also help to trap some of the debris before it can get inside where it can harm.

+ Discoloration

Discoloration of commercial SPC floors can happen over time due to the buildup of dirt, oil, and others. The rubber in some shoes can even cause slight discolorations on the floor. Prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight will also discolor the material, causing it to take on a yellowish color.

Solutions: Regular cleaning will help to remove the oils and greases that can discolor dercorative film over time. Floor mats set at entrances and exits will also help to cut down on mud and other staining agents that get tracked in. The use of curtains in places where windows and glass doors shine direct sunlight down on the floor can help prevent yellowing effects. However, SPC floors should not be installed in areas of high heat output, such as near heating ducts and vents.

+ Surface Dents and Damage

Surface dents and damage to the floor can be caused by a variety of issues. Heavy furniture scraping across the floor can cause gouges and scratches. Sharp unprotected chair legs can also severely mar a commercial SPC floor in a cafeteria or eating area. Even some unpadded high heels can cause damage to the floor’s surface.

Solutions: If the scratches and dents are small, then you can use liquid seam filler to repair them. Make sure that the SPC is clean and dry, and then apply a small amount of the clear liquid to the blemish, being sure to smooth it out so it does not create bubbles or mounds. As it dries, it should cause smaller blemishes to vanish.

With SPC plank, you have the option of removing the affected area and replacing it with a matched patch.

1. Look for a stain-resistant or waterproof floor

First of all, your kitchen flooring needs to be waterproof. Over the years, we’ve seen many different kinds of flooring for the kitchen, from linoleum (which is not totally impervious to water) to sheet vinyl to ceramic tile and more. Some people love the look of wood floors for the kitchen but aren’t fully aware of all of the challenges a wood kitchen floor poses.

Search for waterproof flooring that gives you the look of wood floors, but without all the hassle. SPC floors are a perfect alternative to wood floors: They’re waterproof flooring, so they’ll stand up to all of your regular kitchen spills, and they’re also stain-resistant, unlike some other flooring options.

Laminate has been used as flooring for kitchens and while the manufacturer may call it “waterproof” or “water-resistant,” its core is not waterproof and water exposure can still cause bubbling and warping.

SPC flooring is an excellent choice for the kitchen. All of our SPC flooring products are 100-percent waterproof, stain-resistant, and can work well in all types of spaces.

2. Safety first for kitchen flooring

In addition to being appearance and waterproof, a kitchen floor needs to be safe. This is the space where you may drop a dish or pot of spaghetti noodles on more than one occasion—how will your floor respond to it?

Ceramic tile has been a popular choice for kitchen floors for many years because it’s long-lasting and can handle spills, but if you drop something on the floor, you can potentially get cracks, chips, and broken tiles that would need to be replaced. However, not so with our SPC floors.

With SPC floors, you get an aesthetically pleasing floor, but with less worry. Spills and mishaps can damage the finish or cause dents on wood floors. Likewise, stone floors may be hard surfaces, but they’re porous and can stain easily.

Also, consider slips and falls. You don’t want to run the risk of slipping in the kitchen while pulling out a roast turkey from the oven. An irregular stone floor or a slick surface may be easier to trip over or slip-on. A floor such as SPC flooring with some texture can help prevent slips and falls.

3. Low maintenance

Whether you’re tracking in dirt and grime from the garage or the outdoors, the kitchen is a space that gets dirty fast. You want an easy-to-clean kitchen floor with minimal maintenance. Flooring such as SPC flooring for your kitchen that only requires a damp mop cleaning is the easiest kitchen floor to maintain, making it a family-friendly and pet-friendly floor.

You spend a lot of time in your kitchen, cooking, baking, doing dishes, entertaining, etc., so you’ll want your kitchen flooring to be comfortable. Concrete floors have been trendy for a while, but it’s also very hard, which can strain your back and joints.

With the latest innovations in flooring, you have so much to choose from. Resilient floors, like our SPC floors, give you the best of both worlds: a stylish wood look but added comfort with the underlayment.

SPC Flooring are also easier and more affordable to repair. You’d need to replace a whole sheet even if it’s just a small area that’s damaged.

If you have a limited budget, go for the sheet. If you can afford it, SPC Flooring is the better option.
