Waterproof Vinyl Plank Floors That Stay Quiet, Flat & Beautiful
If you’re comparing options for vinyl plank flooring installation in Vancouver, we install waterproof luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and rigid-core SPC systems for condos, rentals, family homes, and light commercial spaces across Vancouver + the Lower Mainland. Our installers focus on what makes vinyl feel “premium” long-term: correct subfloor preparation, the right acoustic underlay (when strata requires it), and clean transitions so your floor feels solid, stays quiet, and performs for years.
Why Clients Pick Vinyl Plank — And Why Our Installs Feel “Premium”
Vinyl plank can look incredible, but only when flatness, underlay selection, layout, and finishing details are handled properly. We install to manufacturer tolerances to reduce clicking, gaps, edge peaking, and movement over time—especially in condos and busy family homes.
Subfloor Prep — The #1 Reason Vinyl Floors Fail (Or Succeed)
Most “vinyl problems” are actually subfloor problems. If the floor isn’t flat enough, click-lock joints can stress, planks can rock, and sound can travel. We check tolerances, address high/low spots, and correct transitions so the floor locks tight and stays quiet. If you suspect prep is needed, start here: subfloor leveling & grinding in Vancouver.
LVP vs SPC vs WPC — What We Recommend in Vancouver Homes
“Luxury vinyl” covers a few different cores. For Vancouver’s condo life, pets, and daily traffic, we help you choose the right plank based on wear layer, locking profile, and underlay requirements:
- SPC (rigid core): Dense, stable feel and great for condos and high-traffic living areas.
- WPC: Slightly softer underfoot; can be a good fit for comfort-focused spaces when specs allow.
- Glue-down LVP: Often ideal for larger open areas and certain commercial spaces (rolling loads, long runs).

Vinyl Plank Installation — FAQs
Is vinyl plank flooring waterproof?
Yes. Most SPC/WPC luxury vinyl plank is waterproof and works well for kitchens, entries, rentals and basements (site conditions matter).
How long does installation take?
Many homes are completed in 1–3 days depending on size, prep, and stairs. Larger or glue-down commercial projects can take longer.
Do you remove old flooring and fix the subfloor?
Yes. We can remove/dispose of existing floors, then patch/level to meet manufacturer flatness tolerances so the new floor locks and sits properly.
Click-lock or glue-down — which is better?
Click-lock is common for condos and homes. Glue-down is often best for commercial spaces and large open areas with rolling loads.
How do strata sound rules affect vinyl installs?
Underlay selection, transitions, and assembly details matter. We can provide underlay options and product data to help align with your building’s requirements.
How do I clean vinyl plank floors?
Sweep/vacuum regularly and damp mop with an approved cleaner. Avoid steam mops and abrasive pads to protect the wear layer.
