Direct factory quality with global certifications.
What You're Seeing in This Test
This footage was captured inside the RIVER FLOOR factory quality control lab. It serves as definitive, transparent proof of the absolute waterproof integrity of our rigid core SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) vinyl flooring. Unlike ordinary vinyl, the performance of rigid SPC flooring is defined by its mineral-based core, and this test is designed to validate that critical engineering directly at the source.

1. Test Objective: Validating Core Performance, Not Just Surface Coating
The primary goal of this factory test is to demonstrate that our SPC rigid core waterproof flooring achieves its resistance from the inside out. We are verifying the impermeability of the dense SPC core itself—the layer that constitutes over 90% of the plank's thickness. This distinguishes it from products that rely solely on a surface seal, which can be compromised over time.
2. Test Method: Simulating Extreme Real-World Conditions
To subject our flooring to conditions far beyond normal use, we completely submerged multiple full-size SPC vinyl plank samples in water for a continuous 24-hour period. This rigorous method replicates worst-case scenarios such as a plumbing leak, appliance overflow, or prolonged flooding—ensuring the product is trustworthy for the most moisture-prone areas of any project.
3. Observed Results: Zero Structural Failure
Upon removal and inspection after the test period, the results are clear and consistent:
No Expansion: The planks maintained their precise dimensions.
No Warping or Curling: Each sample remained completely flat.
No Delamination: The wear layer, decorative print, and SPC core showed perfect adhesion.
Locking System Integrity: The click-lock joints remained tight and fully functional, proving the structure is preserved.
This outcome confirms 100% waterproof performance throughout the entire plank thickness.
4. Technical Principle: The Science Behind the Waterproof Guarantee
The secret lies in the composition of the SPC core. It is primarily made from limestone powder (calcium carbonate) and stabilized with premium polymers, then fused under high heat and pressure. This creates an inorganic, dense composite that is inherently non-porous. Water molecules simply cannot penetrate or be absorbed by this mineral-based structure, which is why it will never swell, rot, or harbor mold—unlike organic materials such as wood or fiberboard.
