What does ScufResist mean on this plank?

ScufResist is Shaw's name for the protective wear layer on top of the vinyl. It is meant to resist scuffs and everyday abrasion from foot traffic and furniture.

Is this plank waterproof?

It is a resilient SPC vinyl plank, so the plank itself tolerates moisture and is commonly used in kitchens, baths and basements. Standing water at seams and edges should still be wiped up.

SPC planks of this type are typically floated over an underlayment or glued down, depending on the subfloor. The subfloor must be flat and clean; check Shaw's installation instructions for the approved methods.

How does SPC compare with flexible vinyl plank?

SPC has a rigid mineral core, so it resists dents and temperature swings better and feels firmer. Flexible vinyl is softer and quieter underfoot but less stable in heat and heavy loads.

What rooms does it suit?

High-traffic areas such as living rooms, hallways, kitchens and finished basements. The hard surface is less comfortable in bedrooms where soft carpet is often preferred.
