Unlike traditional flooring options that can swell or warp when exposed to moisture, our SPC core, composed primarily of natural limestone powder, remains impervious to water damage. This advanced waterproof capability ensures longevity and peace of mind, protecting your subfloor and maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your space even in high-humidity environments typical of Singapore. ### Superior Durability & Longevity (AC5 Commercial Grade) Engineered for extreme resilience, AquaShield Pro features an AC5 commercial-grade wear layer, signifying its suitability for heavy residential and commercial traffic. This robust surface layer provides exceptional resistance against scratches, dents, and abrasions, ensuring your floors look pristine for years. The high-density SPC core (1900-2100 kg/m³) offers superior impact and indentation resistance, making it perfect for busy households with pets and children, or high-traffic commercial settings. Backed by a comprehensive 15-year warranty, AquaShield Pro is built to last. ### Healthier Indoor Environment At Enoch Surfaces, we prioritize your health. AquaShield Pro SPC flooring is inherently free from formaldehyde and emits extremely low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Our products are typically FloorScore® and GREENGUARD Gold certified, guaranteeing superior indoor air quality. This commitment to health means you can breathe easier, knowing your flooring contributes to a safer living environment, especially crucial for families with young children or individuals with respiratory sensitivities. This makes it a significantly healthier choice compared to traditional vinyl options. ### Effortless Click-Lock Installation Designed for convenience, AquaShield Pro features an innovative click-lock system that allows for quick and straightforward installation without the need for messy glues or extensive subfloor preparation. This floating floor system can be installed directly over most existing hard surfaces, reducing installation time and costs. The precision-engineered planks lock securely into place, creating a seamless and stable floor that’s ready for immediate use. For a deeper dive into installation best practices, check out our [SPC vs Vinyl Flooring Guide](/blog/spc-vs-vinyl-flooring). ### Exceptional Dimensional Stability Thanks to its unique stone-plastic composite core, AquaShield Pro exhibits outstanding dimensional stability. This means the flooring will not significantly expand or contract with changes in temperature or humidity, a common issue with traditional vinyl or laminate flooring. This characteristic is particularly vital in Singapore's fluctuating climate, preventing gaps, buckling, or warping, and ensuring your floor remains perfectly flat and beautiful over its lifespan. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Details | |---| | Product Name | AquaShield Pro SPC Flooring | | Core Material | Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) | | Core Composition | 60-70% Natural Limestone (CaCO₃), 25-30% PVC Resin, 5-10% Stabilizers | | Total Thickness | 6mm | | Wear Layer | 0.5mm (20 mil) | | Abrasion Class | AC5 (Commercial Grade) | | Plank Dimensions | 1220mm x 180mm (approx. 48" x 7") | | Installation Method | Uniclic/Valinge Click System (Floating) | | Waterproof Rating | 100% Waterproof Core | | Warranty | 15-Year Residential, 5-Year Commercial | | Certifications | FloorScore®, GREENGUARD Gold (typical), Singapore Green Label (applicable) | ## Applications & Use Cases AquaShield Pro SPC flooring is incredibly versatile, making it suitable for a wide array of residential and commercial applications across Singapore. ### Residential Applications - **HDB Flats**: Perfect for HDB renovation projects, offering a durable, waterproof, and low-maintenance solution that meets stringent housing standards.

Always ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. ### Pre-Installation Preparation 1. **Acclimatization**: While SPC is highly stable, allow planks to acclimate in the installation area for at least 24-48 hours at room temperature (20-27°C) to ensure optimal performance. 2. **Subfloor Assessment**: Ensure the subfloor is flat within 3mm over a 2-meter span. Any unevenness should be corrected using appropriate leveling compounds. The subfloor must be clean, dry, and free of debris. 3. **Moisture Testing**: Although AquaShield Pro is waterproof, it's crucial to test concrete subfloors for excessive moisture. If high moisture is detected, a vapor barrier may be required to protect against subfloor issues. 4. **Remove Obstacles**: Clear the room of all furniture and remove existing baseboards or quarter rounds. Ensure door frames are undercut if necessary to allow the flooring to slide underneath. ### Installation Process 1. **Starting Point**: Begin installation in a corner of the room, working from left to right. Lay the first plank with the tongue side facing the wall, leaving a 6-8mm expansion gap using spacers. 2. **Click-Lock System**: Angle the second plank's tongue into the groove of the first plank and gently press down until it locks into place. Continue this process for the first row. 3. **Staggering Joints**: To create a natural look and enhance stability, stagger the end joints of subsequent rows by at least 20-30cm. Use cut pieces from the end of a previous row to start a new one, ensuring pieces are at least 30cm long. 4. **Cutting Planks**: Use a utility knife and a straight edge to score the plank, then snap it along the score line. For intricate cuts around pipes or irregular shapes, a jigsaw or specialized flooring cutter may be used. 5. **Expansion Gaps**: Maintain a 6-8mm expansion gap around all perimeter walls, fixed objects, and door frames. This allows the floor to expand and contract minimally without buckling. ### Post-Installation Care After installation, remove all spacers and reinstall baseboards or quarter rounds to cover the expansion gaps. Clean the floor with a damp mop to remove any dust or debris. Avoid heavy traffic for the first 24 hours to allow the floor to settle. For more detailed guidance, consider consulting a professional installer or referring to our [Our Project Gallery](/projects) for inspiration. ## Maintenance & Care Guide Maintaining your AquaShield Pro SPC flooring is simple, ensuring its beauty and performance for years to come. Regular care is key to preserving its AC5 commercial-grade finish. * **Daily/Weekly Cleaning**: **Sweep** or **vacuum** regularly to remove loose dirt and grit that can scratch the surface. Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum cleaner with a hard floor attachment. * **Damp Mopping**: For deeper cleaning, **damp mop** the floor with a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for vinyl or SPC flooring. Avoid excessive water, as standing water, while not damaging the core, can seep into seams over time. **Never use steam mops**, harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or wax-based products. * **Spill Management**: **Wipe up spills immediately** to prevent staining, especially for colored liquids. Although waterproof, prompt cleanup maintains the pristine look of your floor. * **Protective Measures**: Use **felt pads** under furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents. Place **doormats** at all entrances to trap dirt and moisture before it reaches your floor. Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the floor. * **Sunlight Protection**: While highly stable, prolonged direct exposure to intense sunlight can cause slight discoloration over many years. Consider using **blinds or curtains** during peak sun hours to protect your flooring. ## SPC vs Traditional Vinyl: Why Material Composition Matters When choosing flooring for your Singapore property, understanding the fundamental differences between SPC and traditional vinyl is paramount, especially concerning health and environmental impact. At Enoch Surfaces, we exclusively offer SPC flooring because we believe it represents a superior, healthier, and more responsible choice. The distinction lies in their core compositions. | Feature | SPC Flooring (Enoch Surfaces) | Traditional Vinyl Flooring | |---|---|---| | Core Composition | 60-70% natural CaCO₃ (limestone) + PVC resin | Soft PVC + 20-40% phthalate plasticizers | | Formaldehyde | Zero content, no formaldehyde used in manufacturing | May contain trace amounts, depending on manufacturing | | VOC Emissions | Ultra-low, typically FloorScore® & GREENGUARD Gold certified | Higher, especially when new; off-gasses for weeks/months | | Health Concerns | No phthalates, no endocrine disruptors; healthier indoor air | **Phthalates** linked to health risks (endocrine disruptors) | | Dimensional Stability | Rigid stone-plastic core, minimal expansion/contraction | Flexible core, prone to expansion/contraction in heat | | Recyclability | Recyclable; can be ground and reprocessed | Difficult to recycle; predominantly landfill-bound | | Waterproof Rating | 100% waterproof rigid core; impervious to water | Water-resistant surface, but core can be compromised | **Material Science Explained:** SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring, like our AquaShield Pro, is fundamentally different from traditional vinyl (LVT or sheet vinyl) due to its core composition. SPC's core is primarily made of **60-70% natural limestone powder (calcium carbonate, CaCO₃)**, a naturally abundant and non-toxic mineral. This high mineral content provides exceptional rigidity and dimensional stability, eliminating the need for large amounts of plasticizers. The remaining composition includes PVC resin (25-30%) and stabilizers (5-10%). This unique blend results in a flooring product that is inherently rigid, incredibly stable, and 100% waterproof. In stark contrast, **traditional vinyl flooring** relies heavily on soft PVC combined with a substantial amount of **plasticizers (20-40% by weight)** to achieve its flexibility. These plasticizers, particularly phthalates such as DEHP, BBzP, and DINP, have raised significant health concerns. Research published in **PMC (Just et al., 2015)**, titled "Vinyl flooring in the home is associated with children's airborne butylbenzyl phthalate and urinary metabolite concentrations," highlights the potential for phthalates to off-gas from traditional vinyl flooring into indoor air, leading to human exposure. Furthermore, the **EU REACH regulation** has classified phthalates as endocrine disruptors and has restricted the use of DEHP, DBP, BBP, and DIBP in consumer products under REACH Annex XVII, underscoring their recognized health risks. Beyond phthalates, traditional vinyl flooring is also known for higher **VOC emissions**. A study in the **Building and Environment journal (2022)** noted that PVC building materials can emit VOCs and SVOCs, contributing to indoor odor and potential inhalation health risks, with new vinyl off-gassing for weeks to months. SPC, by reducing the PVC content and eliminating plasticizers, significantly lowers these emissions, typically achieving certifications like FloorScore® and GREENGUARD Gold for ultra-low VOCs. Environmentally, SPC's high mineral content makes it more recyclable than traditional vinyl, which is often difficult to reprocess and ends up in landfills. The production of traditional PVC is also petroleum-dependent, and its incineration can release harmful dioxins and hydrochloric acid.
