Innovation to Improve Surface Authenticity in SPC Planks
The limitation of conventional luxury vinyl SPC planks is due to its construction make up, where the SPC is made of hybrid layers of PVC wear layer, PVC print layer, PVC rigid core material and optional underlayment. This type of SPC planks is limited in texture as no matter what kind of surface treatments are being made, the transparent wear layer are still a polymer material and not much can be improved upon without significant investment in embossment.
However, there is now a product innovation where wood veneers are being applied on top of the rigid core SPC material to deliver authentic appearance and textures. It is considered the perfect combination of real wood flooring with the functionality of luxury vinyl SPC planks.
