SPC stands for Stone Plastic Composite. SPC wall panels are rigid core panels engineered for durability, moisture resistance, and long-term performance. They provide the strength of flooring material on a vertical surface.
Our panels are 4mm thick in select collections, feature clean edge tongue and groove installation, offer realistic multi-pattern repeats, and are designed for one-person installation. Many competing panels are thinner, require router finishing, or have limited pattern variation.
Select collections are approved for showers and wet areas when sealant is applied to the tongue and groove system. Proper installation guidelines must be followed to ensure moisture protection.
Yes. The Legacy, Imperial, and Sovereign collections are approved for wet-area applications when installed with sealant applied to the groove.
