With over two decades in the flooring business, I’ve watched firsthand as the SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) category has transformed today’s flooring landscape. At Quality Wood Floors, Inc., we pride ourselves on sourcing and distributing leading-edge flooring solutions to retailers nationwide. If you want to keep your showroom current and your customers returning, you need to know what’s hot in SPC today—by color, texture, format, and by region.
The Leading SPC Trends: Color, Texture, and Plank Dimensions
Regional Preferences: Know Your Market for SPC Luxury Vinyl Flooring
Understanding the nuances of local style, climate, and customer preference is essential in maximizing sales of SPC luxury vinyl flooring. At Quality Wood Floors, Inc., we ship nationwide and arm our dealers with the insights they need to succeed across all regions.
West Coast (California & Pacific Northwest)
Homeowners and designers on the West Coast—especially in California—prefer cooler color palettes. Light oaks, ash grays, and contemporary greige tones are extremely popular, especially in metropolitan areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. The region’s airy, modern architecture pairs perfectly with wide and long plank SPC luxury vinyl. High-demand products feature embossed-in-register (EIR) textures and matte finishes for enhanced realism and modern aesthetics.
Southwest (Arizona & New Mexico)
In the Southwest, including Arizona and New Mexico, SPC flooring preferences reflect both climate and culture. Arizona buyers (in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tucson) choose desert-inspired, warm neutrals such as natural oak, honey, and sand tones. Here, SPC luxury vinyl’s waterproof and UV-resistant properties are crucial, given the heat and sun exposure. In New Mexico cities such as Albuquerque and Santa Fe, earthy colors and rustic, hand-scraped wood visuals sell strongly, aligning with regional architecture and a Southwest lifestyle.
Mountain States (Colorado)
Colorado, with markets like Denver, Boulder, and Colorado Springs, values both style and performance. Wide-plank SPC flooring in cool grays and natural wood tones is in high demand, perfectly suiting homes that capitalize on mountain views and open layouts. The functionality of waterproof, scratch-resistant SPC luxury vinyl is paramount for Colorado’s active, outdoor-oriented households.
Northeast (New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania)
In the Northeast, classic taste prevails. Traditional interiors call for richer hues such as chestnut, cherry, and walnut. Buyers in states like New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania appreciate SPC flooring in classic patterns like herringbone and chevron, seeking a timeless, upscale look.
South & Southeast (Texas, Florida, Georgia)
In the South and Southeast, including Texas, Florida, and Georgia, warm brown tones and natural wood looks continue to rule. Here, waterproof and pet-friendly SPC flooring is a must, thanks to humid climates and active, family-focused lifestyles.
Midwest (Illinois, Ohio, Michigan)
In the Midwest, states like Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan, practicality is king. Customers prefer SPC luxury vinyl in greys, taupes, and versatile natural woods that can hold up to busy family life and changing seasons. Value and durability are top-selling points for these markets.
