Our SPC Premium Plus series flooring products come with a built-in underlayment, while others require an additional underlayment, like 2 in 1 PE foam, EVA foam for better sound absorption, comfort, and moisture protection.
Homy SPC flooring is extremely durable and can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years or more, depending on the thickness of the wear layer and how well it is maintained.
Yes, Homy SPC flooring is safe for both kids and pets. It is non-toxic, free from harmful chemicals, and can withstand wear and tear from everyday activities, including pet claws and toys.
Homy SPC flooring is UV-resistant, making it less likely to fade when exposed to sunlight. However, it's always recommended to use window treatments in areas with direct sun exposure to prolong the flooring's appearance.
Homy SPC flooring is not recommended for outdoor installations. Although it is highly durable and 100% waterproof, it is not designed to withstand the extreme conditions of outdoor environments, such as direct sunlight, heavy rainfall, or temperature fluctuations. Prolonged exposure to UV rays and extreme weather can cause discoloration, warping, or other damage. It is best to use Homy SPC flooring in indoor spaces such as living rooms, kitchens and basements. For outdoor areas, it's recommended to use flooring specifically designed for exterior use.
No, Homy SPC flooring does not need to be re-sanded or recoated. Unlike traditional hardwood flooring, SPC flooring has a protective wear layer on top, which provides durability, resistance to scratches, and long-lasting performance. This protective layer eliminates the need for re-sanding or recoating over time. Homy SPC floors are low-maintenance and can be easily cleaned with regular sweeping and mopping, making them an excellent choice for homeowners looking for hassle-free flooring solutions.
The thickness of SPC flooring plays a key role in its durability, comfort, and performance. Typically, SPC flooring comes in thicknesses ranging from 4mm to 8mm, with thicker options offering more comfort and better sound absorption. For residential spaces with moderate foot traffic, 4mm to 5mm is sufficient. For high-traffic or commercial areas, opting for 6mm to 8mm provides extra durability and a sturdier feel underfoot.
Here are the key points you should not missed when considering the thickness of SPC flooring.
Room or space to be installed:
- Type or condition of your subfloor.
- If your subfloor is not in good condition and require some additional support, by all means, choose a thicker SPC.
- Expected foot traffic for the area to be installed.
Heavy traffic areas like hallway, kitchen, living room or foyers may require thicker SPC flooring. Don’t forget to always seek for professional advice from our sales consultant when in doubt.
To protect your SPC flooring:
- Remove your shoes when stepping on the floor to reduce scratches.
- Use quarter-inch plywood or hardwood panelling when moving furniture.
- Place non-staining protectors under movable furniture.
- Use a hardboard runway when moving large furniture and heavy appliances.
- Trim your pet's nails and claws regularly.
- Avoid using abrasive scrubbing tools
Please refer to our care and maintenance guide for more details.
The simple answer to this question is no. Homy SPC flooring is not toxic because it does not contain formaldehyde or other harmful substances. The question comes up because some flooring types like laminate contain poisonous chemicals that could cause issues in the respiratory system and irritation in the skin and eyes.
Homy SPC Flooring is non-toxic and safe to use. It is considered a green environmental protection product because of its non-toxic makeup. Homy SPC flooring consists of PVC resin and stone powder, a natural substance.
While Homy SPC flooring planks from the same box are manufactured to have a consistent design and colour, there may be slight variations in appearance due to the natural materials used and the manufacturing process. These variations are often intentional and can enhance the overall aesthetic of the flooring by creating a more natural look.
Most SPC flooring brands aim for a harmonious blend of colors and textures within a specific style. You may notice some differences in shade or grain pattern, but these variations should not be significant enough to detract from the overall appearance of your floor.
Ultra Vinyl Flooring
Ultra Vinyl flooring is a durable and versatile flooring option made from synthetic materials, primarily PVC (polyvinyl chloride). It comes in a variety of styles, colours, and patterns, mimicking the appearance of natural materials like wood or stone.
Both vinyl flooring and laminate flooring are synthetic floor products. Laminate flooring uses fibreboard as its core material whist vinyl flooring does not contain any wood derivative material in it.
Due to this matter, laminate flooring without waterproof feature is susceptible to water damage as the fibreboard core tends to swell when contacted with water. Vinyl flooring however is made of 100% PVC and does not have any problems caused by wood derivatives.
Ultra Vinyl flooring is waterproof, more flexible and resilient than laminate flooring.
Glue-down vinyl flooring is a type of vinyl flooring that is adhered to the subfloor using adhesive. This installation method provides a secure bond, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

- Comfort: Ultra vinyl is softer underfoot compared to harder flooring materials, providing a more comfortable surface to walk on.
- Affordability: Ultra vinyl flooring is often more cost-effective than hardwood or natural stone options while still delivering a stylish look.
Cleaning vinyl flooring is easy. Regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and debris, and mop with a mild cleaning solution to maintain its shine. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the surface. Please refer to our care and maintenance guide.
With proper care and maintenance, vinyl flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years or more. The lifespan may vary depending on the quality of the product and the level of foot traffic it endures.
In many cases, vinyl flooring can be installed over existing floors, provided the surface is well-levelled, flat and smooth, dry, free of dust or dirt and in good condition.
Unlike hardwood flooring, our ultra vinyl does not require resealing or refinishing. It is designed to maintain its appearance with regular cleaning and does not require additional protective coatings.
Depends on the area where vinyl flooring is installed. Colour of vinyl flooring normally does not change or fade off easily. Unless it is prolonged exposed to sunlight, the colour will be slightly faded. Avoid direct UV contact by closing the curtains, drapes or blinds to protect your vinyl flooring.
Consider your lifestyle, budget, and aesthetic preferences. Vinyl flooring offers a wide range of styles and colours, making it easy to find an option that fits your needs. Additionally, its durability and ease of maintenance make it a practical choice for many homeowners.
- Preparation: Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. Remove any existing flooring if necessary.

Fluted wall panelling is versatile and can be used in various interior styles, from modern to traditional. The choice of material, colour, and design can influence the overall style.
Self-Levelling
Self-levelling is a process of using a special compound to create a smooth, even surface. It’s crucial for SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring installation because SPC planks need a flat surface to prevent issues like gaps, buckling, and uneven wear.
Self-levelling is recommended when the subfloor has imperfections or variations exceeding 2mm per meter. This can include concrete subfloors with dips, cracks, or old adhesive residue.
Installing SPC flooring on an uneven surface can lead to several problems, impacting both its functionality and appearance:
- Gapping and Lifting: Uneven areas create gaps between planks, which can lead to visible separation or edges lifting over time. This often results in an unprofessional look and can cause tripping hazards.
- Buckling and Warping: SPC flooring needs a flat base to stay in position. On an uneven surface, areas under pressure can buckle, especially if the floor endures heavy foot traffic or fluctuating temperatures.
- Wear and Tear: Uneven support places extra stress on some sections of the floor, causing premature wear. Over time, this can weaken the SPC planks in those high-stress areas.
- Noise and Movement: SPC flooring installed over an uneven surface may creak or click due to gaps underneath, creating an annoying sound and movement when stepped on.
- Warranty Voidance: Installing SPC on an uneven subfloor can void product warranties, as many manufacturers specify a level surface to ensure durability and longevity.
For best results, it’s essential to level the subfloor before installation, usually by using a self-levelling compound or patching minor imperfections. This provides a stable, supportive base and maximizes the lifespan and appearance of the flooring.
Most self-levelling compounds are designed to be applied in a thin layer, typically between 3mm to 10mm. However, this depends on the specific subfloor conditions and compound instructions.
Drying times vary by product, but generally, self-levelling compounds take between 2 to 24 hours to fully cure. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for precise drying times before proceeding with SPC installation.
Self-levelling on wooden floors is possible but not always recommended. Wood can expand and contract, which may affect the self-levelling compound over time. If you proceed, ensure the wood is stable, dry, and properly prepared, and use a compound designed for wood floors. Alternatively, plywood underlayment may be a better option.
Typically, you’ll need a mixing bucket, drill mixer, gauge rake or trowel, spiked roller to release air bubbles, and protective gear. Make sure to follow safety guidelines during application.
For minor issues, patching compounds or sanding may be sufficient. However, significant dips or unevenness usually require a full self-levelling compound application to ensure a proper SPC installation.
Yes, once the self-levelling compound is fully cured, it can serve as an excellent surface for SPC installation. Ensure the subfloor is clean and dry before laying the SPC planks.
Self-levelling can be a DIY project for those experienced with flooring prep, but hiring a professional is recommended if the subfloor has major imperfections or if precision levelling is needed.
Yes, self-levelling helps create a solid base, which can reduce noise issues caused by uneven subfloors. It also ensures better contact with the SPC underlay, which further dampens sound.
