Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) Flooring - Premium Waterproof Luxury Vinyl
Transform your space with our premium Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) flooring – the ultimate solution for modern homes, offices, and commercial spaces in Kenya. This innovative waterproof flooring combines the beauty of natural wood and stone with exceptional durability, making it perfect for Nairobi's varying climate conditions. Whether you're renovating your living room, upgrading your office, or furnishing a retail space, SPC flooring delivers unmatched performance and aesthetics.
Our SPC flooring features a rigid core construction made from natural limestone powder, PVC, and stabilizers, creating a 100% waterproof foundation that resists moisture, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Unlike traditional laminate or hardwood, SPC flooring won't warp, swell, or buckle when exposed to water, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and high-traffic commercial areas throughout Kenya.
The authentic embossed surface texture replicates the natural grain of wood or stone with remarkable detail, while the protective wear layer guards against scratches, stains, and fading. Available in a wide range of finishes including Oak, Walnut, Teak, Marble, and Slate patterns, our SPC flooring complements any interior design style from contemporary to traditional Kenyan homes.
At BuildMate Kenya, we stock only premium-grade SPC flooring that meets international quality standards. Each plank features a click-lock installation system for quick, glue-free fitting, reducing installation time and costs. With minimal maintenance requirements and exceptional longevity, SPC flooring represents a smart investment for property owners seeking beauty, durability, and value.
