This is very good question. We also searched on internet, but there is no professional answer to be honest.
We are factory, we have accumulated a lot of experience in installation in recent years, because our consumers come from all over the world.
About this question, it is not accurate to answer yes or no as it depends on which country and area in which SPC Flooring in installed.
SPC Flooring thickness is not as thick as other floorings such as hardwood, engineered flooring, laminate flooring, WPC flooring, then it has more higher requirements for ground flatness.
Self-leveling on the ground is very necessary special in south-east Asian countries and areas. It is very easy to have installation problems when the under floor is not flat.
Normally we recommend underlayment when you install SPC Flooring, this is very helpful for uneven floor condition. Underlayment can improve SPC Flooring’s ability to absorb sound. It can also make the SPC Flooring feel better to walk on and can prevent several problems from occurring.
Some of SPC Floorings have underlayment on the backing, such as EVA/IXPE/Cork, if so, it is not necessary to put underlayment on the ground any more. The backing underlayment has the same effect on reducing noise and improving foot feeling.
