@savvyla Thanks for your question. SPC is newer to the market than LVT and WPC. To my knowledge, it is water proof as its counterparts, but more stable(barely move at all due to stone core). The drawback is that it is harder to stand on and surface texture can not be made as realistic as WPC. There is a new product on the market called SPC ABA which has the best of both worlds. Here are a few examples: SPC Gritstone SPC Linen SPC Hemlock SPC Stonyoak

If you haven’t already done so, Google—SPC versus WPC and read about the differences. SPC is more stable than the WPC, and as you mentioned, the SPC can withstand temperature variables and sun better than the WPC. If you get an SPC with an attached pad, I don’t think you will find it to be uncomfortable to stand on. We are putting down an SPC product, Supercore, from WeShipFloors.com, and I put several planks of it in front of my kitchen sink and stove and left it for several days. I did not find it to be uncomfortable at all. I love that it‘s not slippery like some of the WPC products I had samples for. The SPC will be able to handle heavy furniture better than the WPC which is another reason we chose the SPC. WeShipFloors.com sells the Adura products as well as the SuperCore. I suggest you give them a call-Alan or Zoe-and they will be glad to answer any questions you have. They are located in Tennessee. 1-844-356-6711 Good luck with your retirement apartment. Be sure to post photos when you are finished.

Found the brand at a local flooring shop near Toronto, but I can’t find any examples of it online. Was originally thinking of using Provenza, but it’s pretty $$ getting it in Canada and Simba had some comparable colours and half the price. (Small squares are Provenza, longer rectangles are Simba)

Your GC isnt doing his job, and hired a hack for his flooring installer. The only way to ”fix” that is better front end due diligence and hiring. At this point, if he doesn’t redo the floors, you’ll have to take him to court. Which will cost you more than you will recuperate.
