Why is 8mm SPC vinyl plank flooring so popular?

8mm SPC is the sweet spot for many Toronto homes and condos because it balances price, durability, waterproof performance, and a more solid feel underfoot. It is thick enough for main living areas while staying easier to transition than ultra-thick flooring.

Where should I use 8mm SPC vinyl plank flooring?

8mm SPC works well in kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, condos, finished basements, rental units, and busy family spaces. It is a strong all-around choice when you want one flooring thickness across most of a home.

Is 8mm SPC good for basements?

Yes. 8mm SPC is one of the best basement flooring choices because it is waterproof, rigid, and more comfortable underfoot than thinner SPC. It is a good pick for finished basement living rooms, bedrooms, and rental suites.

Is 8mm SPC good for condos?

Yes. 8mm SPC is commonly used in condos because it has a more substantial feel and usually includes attached acoustic pad. Always confirm your building sound requirements before ordering, especially for concrete high-rise buildings.

Does 8mm SPC feel better than 6mm SPC?

Usually, yes. 8mm SPC tends to feel more stable and quieter underfoot than 6mm, especially in larger rooms and high-traffic areas. The thicker plank also helps create a more premium impression after installation.

Is 8mm SPC durable enough for pets and kids?

Yes. 8mm SPC is a practical choice for family homes with pets, kids, spills, and daily traffic. For large dogs or high-traffic rentals, look closely at the wear layer and compare 20mil options.

What subfloor preparation does 8mm SPC need?

8mm SPC is forgiving, but it still needs a flat, clean, stable subfloor. Fix major dips, bumps, loose boards, and uneven tile edges before installation so the click system locks properly.

Should I choose 8mm or 10mm SPC vinyl plank?

Choose 8mm for most residential homes, condos, basements, and rental suites. Choose 10mm when you want the heaviest feel, stronger wear-layer options, or flooring for very high-traffic spaces.

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.
