Looking at SPC flooring in Kenya? Whether it is a home in Ongata Rongai, a rental, an office or a shop, SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) gives you the warm look of a wooden floor without the cost of timber or the cold, crack-prone feel of ceramic tiles. Its rigid stone-based core makes it tough, dead-flat and completely waterproof.

Where to use SPC flooring

Because it is waterproof and hard-wearing, SPC works almost everywhere: living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, dining areas, offices, shops, showrooms, Airbnbs, salons and rental units. It is especially popular for renovations where you want a fast, clean upgrade over an existing floor without the dust and downtime of ripping out tiles.

Why buy your SPC flooring from Shabbiri Hardware

Frequently asked questions

Is SPC flooring waterproof?

Yes. SPC has a rigid stone-based core that is 100% waterproof, so water will not swell or warp it. That makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and other wet-prone areas in Kenya.

Is SPC flooring better than tiles in Kenya?

For most homes, yes. SPC is warmer underfoot than cold ceramic tiles, has no grout lines to clean, does not crack when heavy items drop on it, and installs faster with a click-lock system — while still giving a real wood look.

How much does SPC flooring cost in Kenya?

SPC flooring is sold per square metre, with price depending mainly on thickness (commonly 4mm to 6mm). For today's exact rate and designs, message Shabbiri Hardware on WhatsApp (0745 554 008) or visit the Rongai or Tuala branch.

Can SPC flooring be installed over existing tiles?

Often yes. Because SPC planks are rigid and click together as a floating floor, they can usually be laid over a clean, flat, dry existing floor. Our team can check your subfloor and advise before you buy.
