SPC stands for solid polymer core: a rigid mineral-filled core under a vinyl decor and wear layer, which is what makes the board stiff enough to click together and bridge a base that is not perfectly flat. In Exeter roughly one home in 4 is a flat (26%), so sound through the floor matters alongside the base under it.
SPC Rigid Vinyl in Exeter
The Exeter district counts 52,551 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a spc rigid vinyl floor is specified here.
Terraced houses are 31% of the Exeter stock, and the rigid core is exactly what an old terrace floor needs: over boards that have moved, or a concrete kitchen floor with a few millimetres of unevenness, a flexible vinyl would show every ridge and an SPC board bridges it. The board floats on an underlay; the base is checked for moisture, especially the kitchen slab, before anything is laid.
Flats are 26% of the homes in the Exeter district, and SPC in a flat is a thin, rigid board over a slab on an acoustic underlay: it stays under the door thresholds and, with an underlay chosen on its tested impact-sound figure, meets the clause a lease usually carries. The rigid core also means it does not show the slab's imperfections, which a purpose-built block often has.
Private renting is 25% of households in Exeter, and SPC is the rental floor for kitchens and bathrooms in Exeter: listed as waterproof, clicked and floated, and with a 0.55 mm wear layer the manufacturer rates as commercial grade. It survives a change of tenant and a damp mop.

See it on the mapLocal fact sheet
Exeter in the 2021 census: 52,551 households, 73% houses, 26% flats.
Private renting reached 24.9% of Exeter households in 2021, up from 21.0% a decade earlier, while owner-occupation slipped to 57.2%. Terraced housing is the largest single type at 31.3%, spread through Heavitree, Exwick, Newtown and St Leonard's and St David's, with EX1, EX2 and EX4 all served. A rented terrace argues for floors that go down without wrecking what is underneath: click-fit vinyl planks or loose-lay carpet tiles lift again at the end of a tenancy. Suspended timber ground floors are common in stock of that form, and loose boards want screwing back to the joists with a plywood overlay before anything rigid goes on top, or deflection opens gaps within a season.
Exeter combines elegant Georgian and Regency terraces in St Leonard’s and the Cathedral Close with characterful Victorian villas in Pennsylvania and Heavitree, riverside conversions in Topsham and modern family developments at Cranbrook and Newcourt. The cathedral city’s mix of heritage, university and growing tech economy drives consistent demand for quality renovations.
The city centre was rebuilt after the war and its ground floors are solid; Pennsylvania, Duryard and the older terraces are not. That split runs through the middle of Exeter and decides whether the first job is a levelling compound or a look at the joists.

The rigid core. Over the older floors in Exeter, timber that has moved or a slab that is not quite flat, a flexible vinyl shows the base and a rigid board bridges it. It also stays flat over underfloor heating. Every LVT in the range is SPC.
The range is listed as waterproof by the manufacturer. The listing applies to the board; the base still has to be dry, and standing water is wiped up rather than left, as the MMFA cleaning guidance says.
The 0.55 mm wide planks for the kitchen, the hall and anywhere with pets; the 0.3 mm click planks for a bedroom or a lightly used bathroom; the herringbone for a kitchen that wants a pattern; the click tiles for a utility room or a bathroom that wants a stone look.
Yes. We deliver across Exeter and Devon from our UK warehouse, including the EX1, EX2 and EX4 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Exeter address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
