LVP (luxury vinyl plank) and SPC (stone polymer composite) are both vinyl plank floors designed to look like wood. SPC has a rigid, dense core, while LVP is generally more flexible. Both are hard surface floors that Luxury Solutions installs across the Bay Area.
What LVP is
Luxury vinyl plank is a vinyl floor made in plank form with a printed wood look and a protective wear layer. It is a common choice for kitchens, living rooms and whole-home updates.
Because it is a hard surface floor, it is easy to sweep and mop compared with carpet.
What SPC is
SPC stands for stone polymer composite. It is a type of rigid-core vinyl plank. The rigid core makes the plank stiffer than a flexible vinyl plank.
Many homeowners see SPC listed as a subcategory of luxury vinyl, which is why the terms are often grouped together as LVP/SPC.
How to choose for your home
The right choice depends on your rooms, your subfloor and how the space is used. Bay Area homes vary widely, from older homes with wood subfloors to newer homes on concrete slabs.
During your estimate, we look at the rooms and talk through which option fits the space and your goals.
