SPC vinyl flooring — the look of wood, without its limitations
Velvet Stone is Artistico's own brand of SPC vinyl — a 100% waterproof floor with a rigid stone-polymer core and realistic oak embossing. It works where natural wood does not belong: bathrooms, kitchens, hallways and high-traffic spaces. 11 decors in stock, delivered within 1–2 weeks.

Choosing vinyl is easy when someone has done the hard part. We selected Velvet Stone after more than 25 years of working with natural wood floors — we know what makes a floor good and what ruins it. We offer it exclusively for Bulgaria, with our own installation and a single warranty.
Our own brand, exclusive to Bulgaria
Velvet Stone is available only from Artistico. We selected the construction, the click system and every decor instead of reselling someone else's catalogue — and we stand behind that choice with a warranty.
100% waterproof flooring
The stone-polymer core absorbs no water and never swells. It works in bathrooms, kitchens, wet rooms and basements — exactly where natural wood does not belong.
Rigid SPC core
6 mm total thickness with a 5 mm stone-polymer core. The plank feels solid underfoot, does not flex and has none of that "plastic" feel when walking.
Realistic oak embossing (EIR)
The surface texture follows the wood grain — the Embossed in Register technique. To the eye and to the touch it comes closer to real oak than standard vinyl.
Underfloor heating and a quiet step
Compatible with water underfloor heating. The built-in 1 mm IXPE underlay muffles footsteps, makes the floor warmer to the touch and saves you buying a separate underlay.
Delivery, installation and warranty from one team
The flooring is in stock at our base in Trud. We deliver within 1–2 weeks, install with our own crew and remain your single point of contact — as with every Artistico floor.
Send us your floor area and a list of rooms. We will tell you honestly whether SPC vinyl is the right choice — even when the answer is "go with wood".

What is inside a Velvet Stone plank
SPC stands for Stone Plastic Composite. The core is what separates a rigid, stable floor from soft vinyl sheeting. Here is what you get, layer by layer:
- 0.55 mm
Wear layer with anti-scratch protection
Takes the daily load — footsteps, chairs, pets. Usage class 33, rated for commercial spaces too.
- decor
Decor layer with EIR embossing
The print and the surface texture match — knots and grain can be felt under your fingers exactly where the eye sees them.
- 5 mm
Stone-polymer core
Rigid, stable and indifferent to water. It never swells, never flexes and keeps the click joint firmly locked.
- 1 mm
Built-in IXPE underlay
Closed-cell foam — a quiet step, a warmer feel and installation straight onto a level screed, no separate underlay needed.
Välinge 2G click system — the planks lock together without glue and the floor is ready to use immediately after installation.
Two formats, eleven decors — all in stock
Velvet Stone comes as a classic plank and as herringbone — the geometry that would otherwise require specialist parquet installation. Every decor is an oak interpretation: from light sand to dark smoked tones.

Where is Velvet Stone in its element?
The floor is the same throughout the home — what differs is what each room throws at it. Here is where the SPC construction truly earns its keep:
Wet rooms — no compromise
The only wood-look floor we recommend for bathrooms. Water simply doesn't affect it — neither from the shower nor the washing machine. The tight click joints keep moisture from getting under the floor.
Spills, steam and dropped cookware
The core ignores water, while the anti-scratch layer shrugs off chairs and dropped utensils. Cleans with a damp cloth — no special products needed.
Sand, salt and wet shoes
The entrance is the fastest floor killer there is. Class 33 and the wear layer are built exactly for this kind of abuse — the floor won't remember the winter.
Warm, quiet and easy to clean
The IXPE underlay makes the floor warmer and quieter underfoot. Toys, strollers and spilled juice leave no trace.
Commercial spaces and heavy traffic
Usage class 33 covers offices and retail spaces. Click installation is fast — the room is back in business the very next day.

We sell all three — which is why we can compare them honestly. Different floors solve different problems, and the best choice depends on the room, the traffic and your expectations.
| Feature | Velvet Stone SPC vinyl | Laminate | Natural wood parquet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reaction to water | None — the core absorbs no water | The HDF board swells when damp | Needs care; not for wet rooms |
| Core | Stone-polymer composite, 5 mm | HDF wood-fibre board | Real wood |
| Feel and sound | Rigid and stable; quiet step thanks to IXPE | Hollower sound without a good underlay | Warm and natural — the benchmark |
| Underfloor heating | Compatible | Compatible with the right class | Yes — we recommend an engineered construction |
| Wear | Class 33 with anti-scratch — commercial-rated | Depends on class; edges are vulnerable to moisture | Lives for decades — marks sand away with refinishing |
| Refinishing | Cannot be sanded — a damaged plank is replaced | Cannot be sanded | Can be sanded and refinished repeatedly |
| Choose it if | You want a practical floor for a bathroom, kitchen, hallway or busy space | Budget comes first and the room is dry | You want real wood that stays with the home for generations |
Choose SPC vinyl for the rooms where wood would be a compromise — bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, basements and high-traffic spaces. For living rooms and bedrooms, where the floor is a generational investment, see our engineered European oak flooring — that one we make ourselves, in Trud.
