No recommendation, only to say avoid FloorDepot. Dare to sell SPC with defective pattern (wood pattern with square marks) and some panels lasted less than 3 months before disintegrating (but that's more of contractor issue). Get the thicker ones, mine are 4mm.

FloorDepot warranty only 6 months while contractor said SPC can last min 5yrs, average 8 yrs, kek.

Edit : Another way to reframe it, is, if your floor have levelling issues - don't go for SPC, ceramic tiles might be better since the cement will help to 'level' it off, the floor not level, the some SPCs will 'sink' and then the interlocking part between SPC will be stressed and eventually break, sometimes in less than 3 months.

The subfloor is important.

Many installers used PE foam 3mm which will sink or shrink over time causing the level to dip from 3mm to 1.5mm. As a result, the SPC will crack at the joints.

I used a 3mm pure rubberized carpet underlay for stability. Slightly more expensive but it will not disintegrate over time. Plus, u can move it to another location (suitable for rental properties).
