SPC rigid core · Rembrandt · 9.06" × 60.63"
A rigid plank that floats over a slab and doesn't mind water.
SPC is a stone-plastic composite core under a printed layer and a clear wear layer. It clicks together and floats, so it goes down over a concrete slab without glue.
The core is limestone powder and PVC, so it doesn't swell with water the way a wood-based core does. That makes it a good fit for kitchens, laundry rooms and the ground floor of a slab-on-grade house.
The wear layer is the clear film that takes the scuffs, measured in mil. The texture decides how real it looks: embossed in register means the texture follows the printed grain rather than running across it.

SPC vinyl plank, asked and answered
The core is. Water that gets through the joints and sits under the floor is a different problem, so a leaking dishwasher still has to be found and fixed. Wipe up a spill and the floor won't care.
Usually, if the tile is flat and solid and the grout lines aren't deep. A floating floor shows every dip under it, so the floor has to be flat before it goes down.
SPC for wet rooms, dogs and budget; it's a printed image of wood. Engineered oak for real grain, and a floor that can be refinished if its wear layer is thick enough.
