Wood-Effect SPC Tiles
Available in Black Ash, Revie, Elland Oak, Yorkshire and Leeds finishes — each delivering a realistic wood-effect surface with a rigid SPC core. All planks are 182×1220×5mm and sold in 2sqm boxes.
SPC Core Construction
Our tiles feature a Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) rigid core — denser and more stable than standard flexible LVT. Resistant to temperature fluctuation, making them suitable for both heated and unheated commercial spaces.
Click-Fit Installation
Designed for fast installation over most existing subfloors. No adhesives or specialist tools required — reducing labour cost and minimising disruption to trading hours during a shop refit.
Durability Under High Footfall
SPC flooring is built to withstand the constant footfall of busy retail environments. The rigid core resists denting and deformation, while the wear layer protects against scratches, scuffs and spills — keeping floors looking professional for longer.
Cost-Effective vs Wood or Porcelain
Luxury vinyl tiles deliver the appearance of real wood or stone at a fraction of the cost. With no specialist installation required, SPC reduces both material and labour costs compared with porcelain floor tiles and traditional timber.
Low Maintenance, Easy to Clean
The sealed surface of SPC flooring requires no sanding, waxing or specialist treatment. Routine sweeping and damp mopping is all that is needed — ideal for food retail environments where hygiene standards are critical.
What is SPC flooring?
SPC stands for Stone Plastic Composite — the rigid core used in premium luxury vinyl tiles. The core combines limestone powder with PVC, making it denser and more dimensionally stable than flexible LVT. SPC flooring is fully waterproof, resists denting under heavy footfall and copes with temperature variation, which is why it has become the standard choice for commercial and retail installations.
Is SPC flooring suitable for retail shops and commercial spaces?
Yes. SPC flooring is widely used in retail shops, supermarkets, convenience stores, offices and restaurants across the UK. Its rigid core construction handles high footfall, and its waterproof surface makes it straightforward to clean and maintain in busy retail environments. All Maxshelf SPC tiles are specified for commercial use.
What is the difference between LVT and SPC flooring?
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) is the broader product category. SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) refers to the type of rigid core used in premium LVT products. Maxshelf’s tiles feature an SPC rigid core, which makes them more dimensionally stable and resistant to temperature fluctuation than standard flexible LVT — better suited to commercial environments with underfloor heating or variable temperatures.
What is LVT flooring?
LVT stands for Luxury Vinyl Tile — a multi-layer synthetic flooring product that replicates the look of natural wood or stone. Modern LVT uses a rigid SPC core for added stability, making it one of the most practical commercial flooring choices available. It is 100% waterproof, durable and straightforward to install.
How is SPC flooring installed?
Our SPC tiles use a click-fit system and are installed as a floating floor — no adhesives or specialist tools are required. Tiles can be laid directly over most existing subfloors, including concrete, screed and existing vinyl, provided the surface is flat, clean and dry. This makes them particularly well suited to shop refits where minimising downtime is important.
How many tiles do I need? What does one box cover?
Each box of Maxshelf SPC flooring tiles contains planks covering 2 square metres. To calculate how many boxes you need, measure the length and width of your space in metres, multiply to get the total area in sqm, then divide by 2. We recommend adding 10% for waste and cutting — especially for irregular-shaped rooms or spaces with multiple doorways.
Is there a faster or lower-cost alternative for a temporary fit-out?
Yes. For short-term retail spaces, back-of-house areas or refits where budget and speed matter more than appearance, our PVC puzzle flooring interlocks without adhesive and can be lifted and reused. The full range is available in the shop flooring category.
