Both SPC (Stone Polymer Composite) and RCB (Rigid Composite Board) flooring are rigid-core hybrid flooring options, offering durability, water resistance, and easy installation. However, they differ in composition, stability, and comfort.
| Feature | SPC Flooring | RCB Flooring |
| Core Material | Limestone (calcium carbonate) + PVC | Inorganic minerals + high-polymer resin |
| Density | Higher (1.9 – 2.1 g/cm³), more rigid | Lower (1.6 – 1.8 g/cm³), more flexible |
| Dimensional Stability | More prone to expansion/contraction with temperature changes | More stable, less affected by temperature fluctuations |
| Eco-Friendliness | May contain trace plasticizers (less eco-friendly) | VOC-free, plasticizer-free, safer for indoor air quality |
| Underfoot Comfort | Harder underfoot | Slightly softer, better impact absorption |
| Water Resistance | 100% waterproof | 100% waterproof |
| Installation | Click-lock system, DIY-friendly | Click-lock system, DIY-friendly |
| Best Use Cases | High-traffic areas (offices, malls) | Homes, commercial spaces, temperature-sensitive areas |
Which One to Choose?
• SPC Flooring: Best for commercial spaces and high-traffic areas where extreme durability is required.
• RCB Flooring: Ideal for homes and climate-sensitive environments, offering better comfort and stability.
If you prioritize eco-friendliness, better thermal stability, and a softer feel, RCB flooring is the superior choice.
