Skip to content In the competitive world of flooring, staying ahead means understanding which products offer the best combination of quality, value, and market demand. While ceramic tile has long been a staple, Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) flooring has emerged as the clear front-runner. As a distributor, stocking SPC isn’t just a choice—it’s a strategic move to dominate the market.
SPC, or Stone Plastic Composite, is an engineered vinyl product. Its rigid core, made from a blend of limestone powder and virgin PVC, provides stability and durability far beyond traditional ceramic tile. This makes it a superior option for a wide range of residential and commercial projects.
For a clear overview, we’ve prepared the following table for your reference, which outlines 20 key features of SPC vinyl flooring compared with ceramic tile.
Of course, the advantages of SPC vinyl flooring extend far beyond what’s listed here. For more information or to discuss your specific needs, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

| Item | Features | Why |
| 1 | Cheap | At least 1/3 cheaper than ceramic tiles |
| 2 | Wide variety of designs | Whether it’s marble, wood, or carpet textures, there are at least 200 patterns, which are very realistic and difficult to distinguish. We also have styles suitable for wall panels. |
| 3 | Short lead time | Customizable products: sample 7～10 days。bulk order：4～5 weeks。 |
| 4 | Lightweight, low shipping costs | SPC is the abbreviation for Stone Plastic Composite. Its material composition is stone powder and PVC, so it is at least 1/3 lighter than ceramic tiles. This reduces transportation costs and avoids damage during handling. It is easy to transport, highly efficient, and saves time. |
| 5 | Simple to install, quick to build, cheap labor cost | Europe patterned Click lock design. For installation, no cement, sand, or glue is needed. It can be directly installed on a flat surface. This avoids a lot of material and labor costs. A house can be installed in just a few days. During installation, there is less cutting waste and much less dust compared to ceramic tiles. |
| 6 | Wear-resistant, scratch-resistant | Like ceramic tiles, the surface has a wear-resistant layer with a thickness of 0.5mm to 0.7mm or even higher, which can withstand high traffic flow. It is similar to the PEI 5 rating of ceramic tiles. It is not afraid of collision and will not break. The service life of the commercial flooring can be up to 20 years. It is suitable for commercial scenarios with high traffic. |
| 7 | Waterproof, anti-slip | The composition of SPC flooring makes it 100% waterproof. At the same time, whether it is a smooth marble effect or a textured wood grain effect, due to the UV coating on the surface, SPC flooring is very slip-resistant. It can achieve R9 or even R10 slip resistance. This is something that ceramic tiles cannot achieve. It increases the safety of hotel spaces. |
| 8 | Strong and flexible | The composition of SPC flooring makes it very hard, yet the feel is more comfortable than ceramic tiles. When a person accidentally falls, the pain is much less than on ceramic tiles. |
| 9 | UV-resistant, long lifespan | The UV coating on the surface is UV-resistant, so just like ceramic tiles, it is not afraid of sun exposure. |
| 10 | Soundproof, quiet | The bottom of SPC flooring is equipped with an IXPE silent pad, which can reduce noise by at least 18 decibels. At the same time, it is comfortable underfoot, providing a better stay experience for hotel guests. |
| 11 | Almost no deformation | The test condition for SPC flooring is to heat it to 60 or 80 degrees, and after being left to stand, its deformation rate is measured to be less than 0.1%. It is not worse than ceramic tiles. |
| 12 | Environmentally friendly, no radioactive elements | From the raw materials and production process of SPC flooring, it can be seen that this type of flooring does not contain formaldehyde, heavy metals, radioactive elements, and so on. It complies with CE certification and is friendly to children and pets. |
| 13 | Anti-corrosive, resistant to chemical corrosion | The raw materials of SPC flooring determine that it can be cleaned with the same cleaners and methods as ceramic tiles. |
| 14 | Easy to renovate, short construction period | First, the above characteristics of SPC flooring determine its very long service life. At the same time, because the installation is simple, if you want to renovate, they can be simply open then install new flooring. This can be completed within a few days, without the need to waste a lot of labor on demolition. This is very convenient for hotels to maintain a new look without interrupting normal business operations, creating noise, or producing construction waste. |
| 15 | Moisture-proof, antibacterial | The wear layer and the composition determine its moisture-proof and antibacterial properties. |
| 16 | Automated production, low defect rate | Every production process for SPC flooring, including packaging, is fully automated. Therefore, the defect rate is very low, the quality is stable, and each piece of flooring has a production batch number, making it highly traceable. |
| 17 | Easy to maintain | Compared to wood flooring, it does not require waxing. |
| 18 | Simple packaging and storage | The packaging is light and compact, taking up little space. It is not easily damaged, and the loss rate is very low. It is moisture-proof and resistant to pressure. |
| 19 | Fireproof | The cost of SPC flooring determines that it is fireproof, reaching the B1 level. |
| 20 | Globably popular | It is already very popular in markets such as the United States, Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, and South America etc. |
