A Distributor’s Perspective for Flooring Retailers and Real Estate Investors
Buyers, tenants, and clients are looking for eco-friendly, durable flooring. As your partner at Quality Wood Floors, Inc., we're excited to help you meet that demand with SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) and LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) flooring—two product lines that combine durability, design flexibility, and environmental responsibility.
Why Retailers & Investors Opt for Sustainable Flooring
Boost Your Sales Pitch: Homebuyers and business owners are actively asking about green building products. Offering eco-conscious SPC and LVP lets you exceed customer expectations and differentiate your showroom or property.
Lower Maintenance Costs: Real estate investors, your long-term value rests on low lifecycle costs. These products perform exceptionally, standing up to wear without constant replacements or difficult maintenance.
Comply with Green Standards: Builders and developers, using certified low-VOC and recycled-content flooring, can help you meet environmental benchmarks that matter to today’s market.
The term LVP is commonly used. It´s a flooring that is highly requested. Here are some of the technical differences between SPC and LVP. The differences are minor and negligible.
SPC vs. LVP—What’s the Right Fit?
Feature | SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) | LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) |
Durability | Highly resistant to dents, heavy traffic | Excellent for homes and light commercial traffic |
Waterproof | 100% | 100% |
Authentic Designs | Full range: wood & stone visuals | Realistic wood/plank finishes |
Installs Over Uneven Subfloors | Yes | Yes |
Price Range | Slightly higher | Budget-friendly & Upscale |
Environmentally Friendly by Design
No Deforestation: Both SPC and LVP eliminate the need for harvesting hardwood, relying on abundantly available materials instead.
Low-VOC Formulas: Most leading brands meet or exceed indoor air quality standards, making them safe for new homes, apartments, and commercial offices.
Use of Recyclables: Many options now integrate recycled content, and both can be recycled at the end of their lifespan, which is valuable for green building certifications.
Lower Manufacturing Impact: Compared to ceramic tile or traditional hardwood, these floors require less water and energy to produce.
Where SPC & LVP Stand Out
Residential Remodels & Value-Add Projects: Basements, rec rooms, entryways—anywhere you need resilience against spills, moisture, or roughhousing.
Retail Stores & Offices: Heavy foot traffic is no match for SPC’s stone core, while LVP’s design flexibility keeps commercial interiors on-brand.
Rental Properties: Quick installations, ease of cleaning, and long-term durability mean a faster return on your renovation investment.
Flexible Style, Lasting Value
Explore trending looks—wide planks, herringbone patterns, and bold stone effects. With hyper-realistic visuals and textures, your clients get the style they want while you deliver sustainability.
Because both SPC and LVP resist stains and don’t require harsh chemicals to clean, they stay looking new with minimal upkeep.
