A clear process helps buyers avoid wrong quotations and repeated communication.
Confirm whether the floor is for homes, apartments, rentals, hotels, offices or commercial areas.
Decide thickness, wear layer, SPC core, click-lock system and backing requirement.
Select plank size, surface texture, wood grain, stone look, matte, embossed or EIR finish.
Check packing, MOQ, loading quantity, samples, lead time, documents and inspection.
This table helps buyers prepare a quotable inquiry before contacting suppliers.

Total thickness and wear layer should be selected together.
3.5mm to 4mm SPC with 0.2mm wear layer may be used for price-sensitive residential markets where traffic is low and the main requirement is basic waterproof vinyl flooring.
4mm SPC with 0.3mm wear layer is a popular balance for homes, apartments, rental housing and light project use. It is often easier to sell as a cost-performance specification.
5mm SPC or 4mm/5mm SPC with 0.5mm wear layer can be more suitable for hotels, offices and higher-use interiors where durability is more important.
6mm SPC or 0.7mm wear layer may be considered for demanding commercial areas, busy corridors, retail spaces or premium project specifications.
Backing choice affects sound control, comfort, installation experience and market positioning.
IXPE is often selected for better acoustic positioning and comfort. It is useful for apartments, hotels and projects where walking sound and product image matter.
EVA backing can improve comfort and installation feel while keeping cost easier to control. It is practical for residential, rental and cost-performance SPC flooring orders.
No pad may be chosen for budget-sensitive orders or when the project uses separate underlayment. Buyers should confirm local installation habits before ordering.
Export details directly affect landed cost and wholesale planning.
| Export Item | What to Ask | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Carton Packing | Square meters per carton, pieces per carton, carton weight | Helps calculate warehouse handling and local sales unit. |
| Pallet Option | Whether pallet packing is available and how many cartons per pallet | Important for forklift handling, unloading and damage control. |
| Loading Quantity | Total square meters per 20GP or 40HQ | Important for landed cost calculation. |
| Gross Weight | Estimated container gross weight | Important for shipping, trucking and port handling. |
| Label Requirement | Color code, batch number, OEM logo, barcode or neutral label | Important for distributors and retail channels. |
A container order should be confirmed with samples and clear inspection points.
Samples help buyers confirm color, surface texture, plank thickness, wear layer impression, backing and lock structure before bulk production.
Lead time depends on order quantity, color availability, production schedule, OEM packaging and inspection arrangement. Project buyers should confirm schedule before shipment booking.
Inspection can include thickness, wear layer, plank size, color consistency, surface finish, lock quality, backing adhesion, carton labels, packing and loading photos.
To receive an accurate SPC flooring quotation, buyers should provide a complete specification instead of only asking for one square meter price.
Example: We need SPC flooring for apartment and light commercial projects. Total thickness 4mm, wear layer 0.3mm, click lock, wood grain matte surface, optional 1.0mm IXPE backing, one 20GP container. Please quote carton packing, pallet option, loading quantity, sample availability, lead time and inspection details.
Application, total thickness, wear layer, click-lock quality, backing, surface finish and packing are all important. Buyers should not judge only by total thickness or price.
0.3mm is commonly used for apartment and rental projects with moderate traffic. Higher-use areas may require 0.5mm or stronger specifications.
IXPE is often used for better acoustic positioning, while EVA is more cost-effective. The choice depends on project level, sound requirement and budget.
Buyers should inspect plank size, thickness, color, surface finish, lock quality, backing, carton labels, packing condition and container loading photos.
