Quite a few sections of commercial and residential properties experience rampant human traffic. This could be in the form of employee movement or thronging / trudging of family members / guests.

However, in its purest form, waterproof SPC flooring is composed of 4 distinct layers. Each layer performs a specific role.  The Structural Cross-section - The fourth layer from the top is also called the "Wear Layer". This layer is often the thickest as it protects itself from not just the actual, raw floor on which it is laid; it also offers excellent protection from termites and uneven/cracked bases. The third layer from the top is the SPC core. It is this layer that offers strength, and durability to the flooring. The dense composition of hard and soft
