Stone Polymer Composite (SPC) vinyl combines 60-70% natural limestone powder with polymer resins, resulting in an exceptionally rigid, dense core that is 100% waterproof. Unlike traditional laminate or hardwood, SPC vinyl does not swell, cup, or buckle when exposed to moisture, making it ideal for Pacific Northwest wet weather, pet owners, basements, kitchens, and mudrooms.
