Why Luxury Vinyl Plank Suits Vancouver Homes & Condos
Waterproof & Durable
SPC/WPC cores resist moisture, pet accidents, and daily spills. Coastal humidity and winter rain are no problem—LVP won’t cup or swell like hardwood. There’s no sanding or refinishing needed, just simple cleaning.
Quiet & Comfortable
Paired with sound underlay, click-lock LVP softens footfall and helps satisfy strata STC/IIC rules. It’s warmer than tile and more forgiving underfoot in living spaces where you stand and walk the most.
Clean, Minimal Aesthetic
Low-grain visuals keep spaces bright and uncluttered. Subtle texture and matte finishes replicate natural wood without busy patterns—perfect for modern and Scandinavian design.
Budget-Smart Luxury
Premium wood visuals at a fraction of hardwood cost, with excellent scratch resistance and long warranties. It’s a smart choice for rentals and high-traffic family homes.
Under the surface, LVP uses a durable wear layer over a high-definition film and a rigid waterproof core. We’ll help you compare wear layers (12–20+ mil), bevel styles, and embossing so your new floor looks natural and stays that way for years.

Click-Lock vs Glue-Down • SPC vs WPC
Click-Lock (Floating)
Fast installation and easy plank replacement later. Ideal for most residential and strata projects—works great with acoustic underlay to control sound transfer.
Glue-Down (Commercial)
Superior stability over large open floors and rolling loads. Best for offices, clinics, and retail where durability and uniformity matter.
SPC Core
Stone-plastic composite offers high dent resistance and excellent dimensional stability. A favourite for kitchens and entries exposed to drag and drops.
WPC Core
Wood-plastic composite gives a slightly softer, warmer feel underfoot while remaining waterproof—great for living areas and bedrooms.
Unsure which option fits your space and strata rules? We’ll bring samples, share sound ratings, and compare warranties and wear layers so you can choose confidently.
Where Vinyl Plank Excels — Residential & Commercial
Condos, Townhomes & Rentals
Quiet, waterproof floors that clean in minutes and brighten compact layouts. Minimal-pattern planks reduce visual clutter and make spaces feel larger—ideal for open-plan condos and rentals between tenants.
Basements & Garden Suites
With proper prep and moisture checks, rigid-core LVP thrives in lower levels—warmth and style without tile’s hardness or hardwood’s humidity issues.
Shops, Clinics & Offices
Glue-down LVP provides a professional look, smooth rolling for equipment, and excellent durability. It’s a smart alternative to tile where acoustics and comfort matter.
Stairs & Landings
We handle nosings, returns, skirt boards, and cap/overwrap details so your staircase feels solid and looks custom-finished.

Care, Longevity & Warranty
Day-to-Day Care
Dry sweep or vacuum with a hard-floor head, then damp mop using manufacturer-approved cleaners. Avoid steam mops and harsh solvents to protect the wear layer.
Protection Tips
Use felt pads, soft casters, and entry mats to reduce grit. Wipe spills promptly. Even waterproof floors last longer when kept clean and dry.
Warranty Support
We register your product where applicable and back our workmanship. If an issue arises, we document conditions and liaise with the manufacturer to streamline any claim.
Need a refresh later? We can adjust transitions, replace isolated boards, and advise on maintenance to keep your floor looking new.
