SPC Waterproof Floor typically features a click-lock or interlocking system
SPC waterproof flooring often features a click-lock or interlocking system for ease of installation. This click-lock or interlocking system is designed to make it straightforward for homeowners or professionals to install SPC flooring without the need for extensive adhesives or fasteners.
Here's how the click-lock or interlocking system typically works with SPC flooring:
Tongue and Groove Design: SPC planks usually have a tongue on one side and a groove on the other. The tongue is a protruding edge, while the groove is a recessed edge. These edges are designed to fit together seamlessly.
Interlocking Mechanism: The tongue of one plank is inserted into the groove of the adjacent plank at an angle. When the planks are properly aligned, you can then press them together, and they will lock into place. This interlocking mechanism creates a tight and secure connection between the planks.
No Adhesive Required: One of the advantages of SPC click-lock flooring is that it typically does not require adhesive or glue. The planks snap together, and the locking mechanism holds them in place. This simplifies the installation process and reduces the mess and drying time associated with adhesive-based installations.
Floating Floor Installation: SPC click-lock flooring is often installed as a floating floor. This means it is not attached to the subfloor but rather sits on top of it. Underlayment is often used beneath the SPC planks to provide cushioning and sound insulation.
Expansion Gaps: During installation, it's essential to leave a small gap (usually around 1/4 inch) around the perimeter of the room to allow for natural expansion and contraction of the flooring material. This gap can be covered with baseboards or molding.
The click-lock or interlocking system used in SPC waterproof flooring makes it a popular choice for DIY installations because it simplifies the process and does not require advanced carpentry skills. It's a durable and moisture-resistant flooring option suitable for various areas of a home, including kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
