HPL-SPL Flooring: Guide to Water Resistant Flooring

Guide to Water Resistant Flooring

If you’re on the lookout for a water resistant flooring, you can consider Remica’s HPL-SPL flooring.

Having an HPL (high-pressure laminate) surface gives our SPL flooring a stable structure that can withstand moisture, scratches, and even fire. It’s also available in different finishes — you can choose from wood, stone, solid colors, and metallic designs.

HPL-SPL Water Resistant Flooring Features

Remica’s HPL-laminated SPC flooring is the ideal water-resistant flooring for the following reasons:

Fireproof

– Remica’s HPL flooring surfaces are designed with an A2 fireproof rating. Its fire-resistant features make it ideal for use in home and commercial settings for safety purposes. Having fireproof flooring can save lives as it’s built to resist fire and reduce the spread of flame. Also, meeting the requirements of fire codes can significantly reduce insurance costs.

Waterproof

– Our HPL-SPC water-resistant flooring is 100% waterproof and sealed from top to bottom, including the edges. With proper installation, there will be no space for dirt or moisture to get into. This type of flooring structure protects residential and commercial spaces from water damage that can arise from leaks, floods, and everyday use.

Scratch-resistant

– Our flooring features a solid SPC core and high-pressure laminate (HPL), making the surface and overall structure resistant to wear and scratches. This is ideal for spaces with heavy furniture setups and high-traffic areas. Therefore, you can use it in homes with children and pets, as well as in commercial spaces that cater to large crowds.

Aesthetically pleasing

– You can choose from a wide variety of HPL finishes. You can go for wood, stone, or solid and metallic colors.

Stable shape

– Remica’s HPL-laminated SPC flooring remains stable and doesn’t expand or warp after installation. It’s more stable than those that use a PVC surface, which can form ridges and waves after some time (especially when exposed to moisture).

Stain-resistant

– Our HPL-SPC flooring is easy to clean and maintain. Its top layer is designed with a protective sealant, so dirt and spills won’t be able to penetrate the floor.

Environment-friendly

– Remica’s HPL-SPC water-resistant flooring is formaldehyde-free and is therefore safe for indoor use. So you’re not only helping to maintain a clean environment, you’re also helping the occupants in your home or business space stay healthy and safe.

  • Offices – Office spaces are prone to liquid spills (coffee, tea, etc.). Having waterproof flooring will minimize damage and repair costs.
  • Malls – As a place that’s always jampacked with people, having durable, water-resistant flooring makes for a practical choice. This type of flooring is also easy to clean and maintain.
  • Hospitals – Waterproofing hospital floors makes it a safer place for everyone. This setup lessens cleanups and accidents.

HPL-SPC Water Resistant Flooring Installation

It’s quite easy to install Remica’s HPL-SPC Water Resistant Flooring. You see, it comes with Unilin click-lock technology (also known as Uniclic), so all you have to do is interlock the panels in place until the entire floor is complete.

Here are the tools you’ll need if you’re a DIYer and plan on installing the flooring yourself:

  • Tape measure – for measuring the pieces of planks
  • Utility knife – for cutting according to the size you need
  • Pencil – for marking
  • Spacers – for preparing the installation of flooring
  • Mallet – for tapping the pieces of flooring to secure them in place

The good news is that this patented locking system is very tight and reliable, even without the need for nails and glue to attach them to the floor. It works by interlocking the planks in place – they have tongues and grooves for attaching (make sure to hear a clicking sound to confirm they are locked in place).

Before installation, make sure that the floor is dry and free of dirt. The subfloor also needs to be flat to avoid gaps.

Just one more note. Before installing, make sure to let the planks acclimate for at least 48 hours (to allow them to expand or contract). This will allow the HPL-SPC water resistant flooring to rest and adjust to the normal temperature of the room they’re going to be installed in. Lay the panels flat on the floor and don’t store them in an upright position.

At Remica, we also manufacture customized HPL-SPC flooring to suit your needs. You can request a specific panel thickness and finish, as well as a customized locking system, tailored to your project.
