Rigid, waterproof planks that click together over your existing tiles. No glue, little dust, and no trouble with humidity.

SPC stands for stone plastic composite. Each plank has a dense core of limestone powder and plastic, a printed wood or stone layer, and a clear wear layer on top. The core is rigid and does not swell, which makes SPC well suited to the humidity of Goa.
The planks lock together along their edges and lie on the old floor as one sheet, without glue. This is called a floating floor.
SPC Flooring at a Glance
| Core | Stone plastic composite: rigid and waterproof |
|---|---|
| Typical thickness | Commonly 4 to 6 mm, often with an underlay attached. It varies by make |
| Laid by | Click-lock planks, floating over the existing floor. No glue |

| Water and humidity | Unaffected. Suitable for every room, including kitchens |
| Feel | Firm and solid, quieter with an underlay |
| Price | Quoted after measuring. It depends on the thickness, wear layer and area |
Why SPC Suits Goa
- The core does not absorb moisture, so monsoon humidity does not make it swell or lift.
- It is laid over existing tiles, so there is no breaking out and little dust.
- It can be mopped every day.
- A damaged plank can be replaced without relaying the room.
Laying SPC
The floor is checked for level, and any hollow or raised tiles are put right. An underlay goes down if the planks do not have one attached. Planks are then clicked together row by row, with the end joints staggered. A gap of a few millimetres is left at every wall and covered by the skirting, so the floor can expand in heat.
SPC Flooring Price
We do not publish a fixed rate for this, because the price depends on the design chosen, the area and the condition of the surface. We measure free of charge in Goa and quote before any work starts.
SPC or Laminate Flooring?
They look alike and are laid the same way. The difference is the core.
| SPC | Laminate | |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Stone and plastic | Wood fibre board |
| Water | Waterproof | Edges swell if water stands on the joints |
| Kitchens and ground floors | Yes | Not advised |
| Thickness | Thinner, so doors need less trimming | Thicker, commonly 8 or 12 mm |
| Feel | Firm | Slightly softer and warmer |
In a dry upper-floor bedroom either will do. Anywhere water or damp is likely, choose SPC.

SPC Flooring: Questions and Answers
What is SPC flooring?
Stone plastic composite flooring: rigid planks with a core of limestone powder and plastic, a printed wood or stone layer and a clear wear layer. The planks click together and float over the existing floor.
What is the price of SPC flooring in Goa?
It depends on the thickness of the plank, its wear layer, the area and the preparation the floor needs. We measure free of charge in Goa and quote before work starts.
Is SPC flooring waterproof?
Yes. The core does not absorb water, so it can be used in kitchens and on ground floors, and mopped daily.
Can SPC flooring be laid over existing tiles?
Yes, and that is how it is usually laid. The tiles must be firm and level.
Is SPC flooring good for homes near the sea?
Yes. Salt air and humidity do not affect the core, which is the main reason it is preferred over laminate in coastal homes.
