For consumers, it is important to know how to identify the quality of SPC flooring. High-quality SPC flooring should be durable, stain-resistant, UV-resistant and easy to install. Consumers can make a preliminary judgment on the quality of the floor by observing the material, color, pattern and packaging details of the floor. In order to further ensure that the floor purchased is of better quality, it is recommended to ask the salesperson for detailed production information of the floor, including the materials used, manufacturing process and possible certification marks.

Five factors to identify the quality of SPC flooring

• Observe the color of SPC flooring

When judging the quality of "SPC substrate", we mainly observe its color changes. Among them, the color of single material is elegant beige, giving people a pure and simple feeling; while the mixed material shows multiple colors such as gray, cyan and white, enriching the visual effect of the substrate; when the substrate is used too old and enters the recycling stage, its color will become gray-black or pure black, which also means that its service life is extended. According to these different colors, the cost of SPC substrate can be divided into multiple levels to meet users with different needs and budgets.

• The feel of SPC floor

The feel of SPC substrate is very delicate and moist, as if there is a thin layer of moisture wrapped in it, which makes people feel very comfortable to touch. The feel of recycled materials and mixed materials is relatively dry, without obvious moisture, and it feels refreshing to touch.

When splicing, put the two pieces of material together, touch the splicing with your hand, and carefully check the flatness and fit. If the splicing is very good, the joints between the two pieces of material should be very small and almost unnoticeable. At the same time, the overall surface should be very flat, without obvious unevenness or warping.

By touching and observing, we can judge whether the quality of splicing is good. If the splicing is very good, the overall effect of the material will be more beautiful, and it can also ensure the comfort and durability of use. Therefore, checking the flatness and fit is a very important step and cannot be ignored.

•  Smell the SPC floor

Some low-quality SPC floors may produce some odor during use, which is mainly because these floors use a lot of recycled materials and mixed materials of different types during the production process. However, some high-quality SPC floors can reach the standard of odorlessness after special treatment.

• Measure the thickness of the SPC floor

Whenever possible, it is recommended to use a caliper or micrometer to accurately measure the thickness of the floor. Usually, the actual measured thickness of the floor will be slightly larger than the marked thickness, about 0.2mm, which is a normal fluctuation range. For example, if a regular manufacturer marks the thickness of the floor as 4.0mm according to their production standards, then when using a caliper or micrometer for actual measurement, the result should be around 4.2mm. This is because on the surface of the floor, there is a wear-resistant layer and a UV layer, and these additional layers increase the overall thickness of the floor.

However, if the thickness of the floor measured by a caliper or micrometer is exactly 4.0mm, then the thickness of the floor you actually purchased may be between 3.7mm and 3.8mm. This situation is called "cutting corners" in the industry, which means that the manufacturer does not produce the product according to the standards they advertise. This makes people wonder how many non-standard behaviors this manufacturer may make in those production links that we cannot directly observe.

• Breaking the SPC floor lock

For the edge buckle of the SPC floor, which is the part where the lock is easily missed, you only need to use a little more force to break the lock. For floors of poor quality, you may only need a little force to easily break the lock.
