SPC and LVT Flooring Solutions for Child and Pet Friendly Homes
SPC and LVT flooring are increasingly favored by families with children and pets due to their outstanding combination of safety, durability, and low maintenance. For households with active kids and playful pets, the right flooring must resist scratches, provide cushioning, and be easy to clean. SPC flooring stands out as a reliable option due to its waterproof core, shock-absorbing properties, and eco-friendly features. LVT flooring excels with its slip-resistant surface and fully waterproof design, along with ASTM certification.
Key Standards
- Safety and Low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Chemical-free core: Flooring must be free of phthalates and formaldehyde to avoid off-gassing risks. SPC flooring contains no phthalates, significantly reducing children's exposure to toxins while crawling or playing.
- Minimal VOC emissions: While vinyl flooring has historically raised concerns about SVOCs like BBZP, but modern LVT products certified by GreenGuard or FloorScore emit negligible VOCs after installation.
- Durability and Scratch Resistance
- Hard wear layer protection: SPC flooring features sturdy wear layers that resist pet claws and high-traffic play areas.
- Warranty-backed performance: Top-tier LVT products come with industry-leading warranties, ensuring protection against scratches, dents, and fading, bringing homeowners peace of mind.
- Waterproof and Easy to Clean
- 100% waterproof core: SPC and LVT flooring are inherently waterproof, preventing water damage from spills, pet accidents, or wet paws.
- Easy maintenance: Smooth, sealed surfaces allow for quick wipe cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals on the floor surface to protect the wear layer.
- Comfort and Noise Reduction
- Shock absorption: SPC's rigid core combined with an underlay provides gentle cushioning for falls and tumbles.
- Hypoallergenic finish: SPC and LVT simplify dust control, as they don’t trap pet dander or pollen like textured carpets.
Types
