Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SPC and WPC?
SPC (Stone Polymer Composite) has a denser, harder core than WPC (Wood Polymer Composite). Ruby’s SPC core is more dimensionally stable, more resistant to indentation, and handles temperature swings better than WPC — making it ideal for kitchens, basements, and high-traffic areas.
How do I handle Ruby during installation?
Acclimate Ruby for 48 hours in the installation room at 65–85°F and 35–65% relative humidity before installing. Keep boxes flat. Allow 1/4-inch expansion gaps at all walls and fixed objects.
What are the benefits of the VibranCore technology?
Ruby is built on Vellichor’s VibranCore platform — a 40% stone, 60% virgin PVC composite rated at 1,800 psi. The result is a rigid, stable core that resists temperature-related expansion and contraction better than standard SPC products.
Can this floor go over concrete?
Yes. Ruby can be installed directly over concrete subfloors. Use a 6-mil polyethylene moisture barrier over concrete before installing. Ensure the concrete is flat to within 3/16 inch over 10 feet.
Is this flooring 100% waterproof?
Ruby is built on a 100% waterproof SPC (Stone Polymer Composite) rigid core. It will not swell, warp, buckle, or delaminate from water or moisture exposure — making it safe for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.
