Technical notes
Notes for people who specify and buy flooring.
Written from our own production data — wear layer gauges, container quantities and the build-ups we actually run. No general-interest filler.
-
Choosing an SPC wear layer for the traffic class
The wear layer, not the total board thickness, decides how an SPC floor ages. What the 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 mm gauges are actually for.
-
Reading a flooring specification without being misled
How to compare quotations from different factories when one quotes total thickness, another quotes wear layer, and a third quotes a click-system brand name.
-
SPC or laminate in a tropical climate
Why HDF laminate and SPC rigid core behave differently at 85% relative humidity, and where each one is the right specification for Southeast Asian projects.
-
What actually fits in a 20GP of flooring and trim
Container quantities for SPC skirtings, stair nosings and reducers, why palletising costs you roughly a quarter of the load, and how to plan a mixed container.
