How long does SPC flooring last?

Updated October 2026 · Enoch Surfaces, Singapore
Short answer

Enoch's product information gives our SPC 15 to 20 years in residential use. Where a floor lands in that range depends on the wear layer, foot traffic, how level the floor underneath is, and care. Enoch planks have a 0.3 mm wear layer, the standard thickness for homes.

Real life depends on use and care, so treat it as a range, not a promise.

What wears out first

The wear layerThe clear top film takes the traffic. Grit underfoot dulls and scratches it over the years.
DentsVinyl can dent under heavy furniture, so use furniture pads.
JointsClick joints suffer when the floor underneath is uneven or water is left standing on the seams.

How to make it last

Start levelLevel dips and broken tiles before laying; your installer quotes it. It protects the joints for the life of the floor.
Leave the expansion gapsSPC needs gaps at the walls, hidden by skirting. Do not pin it down with fixed cabinets or nails.
Pads and matsFelt pads under chairs, wide cups under heavy furniture, and a door mat to catch grit.
Clean gentlySweep or vacuum, then use a damp mop. Wipe up standing water rather than soaking the floor.
Keep spare planksA damaged plank can be swapped, and a spare from the same batch matches.

Questions

How long does SPC flooring last?

Enoch's product information gives our SPC 15 to 20 years in residential use. Wear layer, traffic, a level base and care decide where in that range a floor lands.

Does SPC last longer than laminate?

SPC's core does not swell when wet, while laminate's wood-fibre core can swell if water gets into the seams. In humid homes with regular spills, that gives SPC the edge.

What wear layer do Enoch planks have?

All Enoch SPC planks have a 0.3 mm wear layer, the standard thickness for homes.

How should I clean SPC flooring?

Sweep or vacuum, then use a damp mop. Avoid soaking the floor, and wipe up standing water so it does not sit on the joints.
