Floor Today 5mm SPC Flooring
Here is the breakdown of Floor Today 5mm SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) Flooring, which is a highly popular choice in the Malaysian home renovation market.
1. Key Benefits
- 100% Waterproof & Termite-Proof: Unlike laminate or solid wood, SPC is made of limestone and PVC. It won't swell when exposed to water and is completely immune to termite attacks—a crucial feature for the Malaysian climate.
- High Stability (5mm Thickness): The 5mm thickness SPC flooring
- Eco-Friendly & Safe: Most reputable SPC brands like Floor Today use Virgin SPC powder, meaning they are formaldehyde-free and non-toxic, making them safe for households with children and pets.
- Scratch & Fire Resistant: It comes with a protective wear layer (usually 0.3mm to 0.5mm) that resists daily scratches from furniture or pets. It also has a B1 fire-retardant rating.
- Easy Installation: It uses a Click-Lock system, requiring no glue or nails. It can often be installed directly over existing flat tiles or level cement floors, saving time and hacking costs.
2. Best Places to Use (Suitable Areas)
- Living Rooms & Bedrooms: It provides a warm, wood-like aesthetic and is much more comfortable (less cold) to step on than ceramic tiles.
- Kitchens: Excellent for dry and semi-wet kitchens as it can handle spills and is very easy to mop clean.
- Home Offices & Small Retails: Durable enough to handle rolling chairs and moderate foot traffic.
- Renovation Projects: Ideal for "overlaying" old tiles if you want a quick makeover without the mess of hacking.
- Note: Avoid using it inside shower cubicles (constantly wet areas) or outdoor balconies with direct, harsh sunlight, which might cause warping over many years.
