What is 6.5mm SPC vinyl plank flooring best for?

6.5mm SPC vinyl plank is a good middle point for homeowners who want waterproof performance with a little more substance than 6mm while still keeping a slim finished height. It suits bedrooms, condos, basement rooms, offices, and smaller main-floor spaces.

Is 6.5mm SPC vinyl plank better than 6mm?

6.5mm gives a small step up in plank thickness and underfoot feel compared with 6mm, while staying close in price and transition height. It is a smart upgrade when you want a bit more confidence without moving into the heavier 8mm category.

Where should I use 6.5mm SPC flooring?

Use 6.5mm SPC in bedrooms, condos, offices, dens, basement rooms, and moderate-traffic residential spaces. For kitchens, large family rooms, busy rentals, or commercial spaces, compare 8mm, 9mm, and 10mm options.

Is 6.5mm SPC good for basement flooring?

Yes. 6.5mm SPC is waterproof and can be installed over properly prepared concrete, making it suitable for many Toronto basement projects. Make sure the slab is flat and address any moisture source before installation.

Is 6.5mm SPC suitable for condos?

Yes, 6.5mm SPC can be suitable for condos because it has attached pad and keeps transitions manageable. Condo boards can have strict sound-rating rules, so confirm the required documents before ordering.

Does 6.5mm SPC need extra underlayment?

Most 6.5mm SPC products already include attached pad, so extra underlayment is usually not needed and may not be allowed by the manufacturer. If your building requires additional acoustic material, confirm compatibility first.

What subfloor does 6.5mm SPC need?

6.5mm SPC needs a flat, clean, stable surface. Thinner rigid-core flooring performs best when high spots are sanded down and low spots are patched before the planks are clicked together.

Should I choose 6.5mm or 8mm SPC flooring?

Choose 6.5mm when you want waterproof flooring with a slim profile and good value. Choose 8mm when the space is busier, the room is larger, or you want a more premium feel underfoot.

What is SPC vinyl plank flooring?

SPC vinyl plank flooring is a 100% waterproof rigid-core flooring made from stone plastic composite — a dense mix of limestone powder, PVC, and stabilizers. It clicks together as a floating floor over virtually any subfloor, including concrete, without glue or nails. At Top Floorings Depot in Toronto, we carry SPC vinyl plank from 6mm to 10mm thick, with attached underlayment pad included on all products.

Is SPC vinyl plank flooring waterproof?

Yes, SPC vinyl plank flooring is 100% waterproof through its entire core — not just the surface. Unlike laminate, which can swell if water gets into the joints, SPC vinyl plank won't absorb moisture at all. That makes it the go-to choice for Toronto basements, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and any space prone to humidity or the occasional spill.

Does SPC vinyl plank flooring come with underpad?

Yes. All of our SPC vinyl plank flooring includes attached pad, so most standard installations do not need a separate underlayment.

Can SPC vinyl plank flooring be installed over concrete?

Yes. SPC vinyl plank flooring floats directly over concrete without adhesive. This makes it ideal for below-grade installations — finished basements, ground-floor condos, and slab-on-grade homes are all great candidates. You don't need a vapour barrier under most SPC vinyl plank products since the core doesn't absorb moisture, but always check the manufacturer specs for your specific product.

What is a wear layer, and how thick should it be?

The wear layer is the clear protective coating on top of SPC vinyl plank flooring that protects against scratches, stains, and scuffs. It's measured in mils (thousandths of an inch). For residential use, 12mil is standard and adequate for most homes. If you have large dogs, young kids, or a high-traffic rental unit, go with 20mil — our 8mm wide plank and 10mm ultra-thick SPC vinyl plank series both offer 20mil wear layer options.

How much does it cost to install SPC vinyl plank flooring in Toronto?

Professional SPC vinyl plank flooring installation at Top Floorings Depot starts at $1.50/sqft for labour. For materials, our SPC vinyl plank starts at $1.64/sqft — so a basic installed project can come in around $3/sqft and up, which is among the most competitive rates in the GTA. Final cost depends on the product you choose, room size, and any subfloor prep needed. Baseboard and trim supply and installation is available separately.
