When you receive the keys to your new home in Kuala Lumpur or Penang, one of the first major renovation decisions is your flooring. Many homeowners love the natural timber look but quickly realize that Malaysia’s humidity makes solid wood flooring risky.
At Queensfloor, we guide homeowners every day on how to choose SPC flooring in Malaysia that balances beauty, durability, and long-term performance. As SPC technology improves in 2026, choosing the right flooring is no longer just about color — it’s about structure, installation quality, and health safety.
Many customers walk into our showroom asking for “vinyl flooring” without knowing the difference between SPC and LVT.
Softer and more flexible core
Waterproof
More prone to expansion and contraction
Can develop gaps in Malaysia’s hot-humid climate
Rigid stone-based core
Highly stable under temperature changes
Dent-resistant under heavy furniture
Ideal for Malaysian tropical weather
At Queensfloor, we recommend SPC over LVT for most homes in KL, Johor Bahru, and Penang because the rigid core performs better with air-conditioning shifts and afternoon heat exposure.
When researching how to choose SPC flooring in KL, stability should be your first priority.
Even the highest-quality SPC plank can fail if installed improperly.
At Queensfloor, we always emphasize:
Uneven floors damage the click-lock system over time. Skipping leveling to save cost often leads to broken joints and “popping” sounds.
Although SPC is stable, it still requires minimal expansion space near walls. Without this gap, flooring may lift during temperature changes.
For condo living in Malaysia, proper IXPE foam backing is critical for:
Sound absorption
Comfort underfoot
Long-term durability
We do not compromise on installation standards because we believe flooring is a 10–20 year investment.
In 2026, Malaysian homeowners are moving away from dark glossy wood looks.
Light oak finishes
Soft grey tones
Natural matte surfaces
EIR (Embossed In Register) textures
EIR technology aligns surface texture with printed wood grain, creating a realistic timber feel. At Queensfloor, our most requested designs are light Scandinavian-inspired tones that visually enlarge condo spaces.
Pro tip from our design team: Always test a large sample in your home lighting before confirming your choice.
