SPC flooring offers luxurious appearance, durability, and low maintenance.  Its waterproof nature makes it perfect for humid spaces like bathrooms, basements, and kitchens, ensuring longevity and peace of mind. Following the process below for an easy and smooth installation.

it's important to note that the SPC plank floor installation method depends on the type of flooring you have.

Click-lock SPC Plank

To install click-lock SPC plank flooring easily as a beginner, start by ensuring your planks have both long and short sides designed for easy clicking together. Begin from a corner of the room and measure and cut as needed to fit your space. When locking the planks, press down gently with your palm for a secure connection. 

Leave a small 2mm gap at the walls to allow for expansion. Avoid using a hammer or tapping block to prevent damaging the click connection. Some SPC flooring brands have planks that can be installed horizontally, making it simpler for narrow or tricky spaces.

Glue Down SPC Plank

When installing SPC plank flooring using the glue down method, it’s crucial to manage moisture levels in your subfloor to prevent problems like installation failure or warranty issues. Check the moisture content based on your subfloor type—below 2.5% for cement, less than 0.5% for anhydrite, and not exceeding 10% for wood. Always use the recommended adhesive and moisture barrier specified by your flooring manufacturer, and avoid mixing different adhesive products. 

Start laying planks from one corner, spreading gently to avoid using excessive force for quick bonding. Avoid over-strapping with clamps or straps, which can cause floor structure issues like seam peaking or misalignment. Use the right size trowel to ensure proper glue-to-board transfer, and consult your adhesive manufacturer for guidance on trowel size, moisture barriers, and adhesive set time. 

Permanent Full Spread SPC Sheet 

For permanent full spread SPC sheet flooring installation, apply pressure-sensitive adhesive before laying the sheet. Let the adhesive dry slightly before placing the sheet to avoid excessive transfer. Position the sheet carefully to prevent wrinkles or bubbles. When cutting, be gentle to avoid tears and ensure a smooth finish without folding or creasing. Unlike other methods, start installing SPC sheets from the center of the room for best results. Rolling pin or floor roller will help you remove air and ensure a secure bond.

Releasable SPC Sheet 

Releasable SPC sheet flooring installation is a common method that differs from permanent installation mainly in the type and application of adhesive. To avoid bubbling, don't lay the sheet when the adhesive is wet, but also don't wait too long for it to dry completely. The adhesive should be tacky when placing the SPC sheet, with no adhesive transferring underneath. 

Start from the center of the room for installation. Releasable installation is versatile for various subfloors due to its thin, removable adhesive layer. Avoid placing heavy objects or built-in cabinets on top of releasable SPC sheets.
