Real wood floors buckle, stain and dread a spilled glass of water, which is exactly the trade-off SPC rigid-core click vinyl flooring removes by pairing a genuine oak-effect finish with a 100% waterproof stone-plastic composite core. The Vestige range brings five oak tones to hallways, kitchens, living rooms and every room in between, fitted without glue, screeds or specialist tools.

Why a rigid core changes what a floor can do

Standard vinyl flexes and can show every dip in a subfloor; SPC's stone-plastic composite core is dense and rigid, so the finished floor feels firm underfoot and doesn't telegraph minor subfloor imperfections the way thinner vinyl can. That same core is entirely waterproof, so a dropped glass, a leaking dishwasher or a wet dog walking in from the rain is a wipe-up job, not a swelling or staining risk the way it would be on real wood or laminate. Each 8mm plank carries a 0.5mm wear layer over the printed decor layer, giving genuine resistance to scuffs and scratches in normal domestic use, and the bevelled edge on every plank picks out each board individually rather than reading as one flat sheet. Underfloor heating compatibility up to 27°C means the floor works with a modern heating system rather than around it.

• Waterproof SPC core – shrugs off spills, pet accidents and wet feet
• 8mm plank with 0.5mm wear layer – stands up to scuffs, scratches and daily foot traffic
• Uniclic click-fit system – glue-free installation, straight from the box
• Bevelled edge detail – defines each plank for a more authentic wood look
• UFH compatible to 27°C – works with underfloor heating rather than against it

Where it's used

Vestige suits any room where a wood look needs to survive real life: kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, hallways and entrances that see wet shoes and paws, as well as living rooms, bedrooms and open-plan spaces where a warm oak floor is wanted without the upkeep of solid wood. It's equally suited to rental properties and commercial spaces needing a durable, low-maintenance floor with a genuine residential warranty behind it.

Specifications

Choosing the right option

All five Vestige colours share the same 8mm construction, plank size and pack coverage, so the choice is purely about tone: Parma gives a soft, traditional pale oak that suits most rooms as a neutral backdrop; Ravenna is a richer mid-tone oak for living rooms and bedrooms that want more warmth; Salerno is a balanced golden oak for dining and entertaining spaces; Sardinia brings a more robust, naturally grained oak suited to hallways and high-traffic entrances; Sorrento is the lightest, most contemporary tone, suited to modern kitchens and open-plan rooms. Order a sample of your chosen tone against your existing skirting, cabinetry or furniture before committing to a full room's coverage, since screen colours vary.

Installation, use & care

Acclimatise unopened packs in the room for 48 hours before fitting, on a smooth, level, clean subfloor. Click each plank's Uniclic edge into the previous row at a slight angle and press down to lock; no adhesive or specialist tools are needed. Leave the manufacturer's recommended expansion gap at the room's perimeter, covered by skirting or a transition strip. Clean with a damp mop and a pH-neutral floor cleaner; avoid steam mops and abrasive scouring pads, which can dull the wear layer over time.

FAQ

Can this go in a bathroom or kitchen?
Yes. The SPC core and surface are 100% waterproof, making it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms, provided the subfloor itself is sound.

Do I need underlay?
No separate underlay is required for normal fitting; the rigid core provides underfoot stability, though a subfloor damp-proof membrane may still be needed on solid concrete floors.

Will it work with my underfloor heating?
Yes, up to a maximum floor surface temperature of 27°C; check your heating system's controls can be limited to this before fitting.

How do the five colours compare in real life?
They range from the palest (Parma) through mid and golden oak tones (Ravenna, Salerno) to a more robust grained oak (Sardinia) and the lightest, brightest tone (Sorrento); order samples to compare them against your own lighting.
