- Is this flooring actually waterproof?
- Yes. The rigid SPC core and vinyl wear layer do not absorb water, so spills and damp rooms are fine. Standing water should still be wiped up, and seams are the weak point over time.
- Can I install it over concrete or old tile?
- Yes, as a floating floor over flat, sound concrete or well-bonded tile. The subfloor must be level within about 3/16 inch over 10 feet, or the click joints can gap and creak.
- Do I need underlayment?
- Many rigid-core planks have a preattached pad; if yours does not, a thin foam underlayment helps with noise and minor floor imperfections. Check the plank's backing before adding one.
- How does it compare with WPC vinyl planks?
- SPC like this is denser and more dimensionally stable, so it handles heat and moisture better. WPC is softer and warmer underfoot but flexes more and costs more for the same look.
- What is included in a box?
- Boxes contain a set number of planks, and coverage depends on that count and the 9-by-60-inch plank size. Order extra for cuts and future repairs, since dye lots can vary.
- Is it good for a bathroom or basement?
- Yes, it is a common choice for both because the core resists moisture. In a full bath, seal the perimeter and wipe up standing water to protect the subfloor beneath.
