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 Oldham 88% of homes are houses, most of them terraced houses (39%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.
SPC Rigid Vinyl in Oldham
The Oldham district counts 93,140 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 39% of the Oldham 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.
Social renting is 21% of households in Oldham, and SPC is what a housing provider specifies for kitchens and bathrooms across a programme: one click floor, listed as waterproof, tolerant of a base that varies from unit to unit, laid fast. A tenant in that stock needs the landlord's written consent before a hard floor goes in, and a floating SPC that lifts again is the easier request.

Delivery detailsWhoever lives there, the floor gets cleaned often, and cleaning damages more floors here than walking on them does. Water standing on a joint finds the core beneath the surface, and a board that swells from underneath cannot be dried out again.

Local fact sheet
Oldham in the 2021 census: 93,140 households, 88% houses, 12% flats.
Between the two censuses the clearest movement was in renting: private tenancies climbed from 12.2% to 17.7% while owner occupation slid from 64.9% to 60.4%, social renting barely changing at 21.2%. Turnover of that kind favours coverings that go down quickly and lift cleanly, section by section. The housing is dominated by rows, 38.5% terraced and 35.9% semi-detached, most of them built with suspended timber above ground level, boards that have shifted for decades and want screwing and levelling before a rigid plank will sit flat on them. OL1, OL2, OL4, OL8 and OL9 take in Alexandra, Coldhurst, Hollinwood, Medlock Vale, Chadderton Central, Chadderton North, Chadderton South, Royton North, Royton South, Crompton, Saddleworth North and Saddleworth South.
Oldham’s housing runs from dense Victorian cotton-mill terraces and interwar semis to the sought-after gritstone villages of Saddleworth, Uppermill, Delph and Dobcross, where moorland-edge character homes command a premium. Buyers range from first-timers in Chadderton and Failsworth to families upgrading to Pennine stone properties.

The rigid core. Over the older floors in Oldham, 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.
Saddleworth cottages often have stone flags laid more or less straight onto the ground. Sealing a covering over them traps the moisture the flags used to release, so either keep and repair the flags, or install a membrane designed as a system before anything goes down.
Yes. We deliver across Oldham and Greater Manchester from our UK warehouse, including the OL1, OL2, OL4, OL8 and OL9 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 Oldham 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.
