Is vinyl plank flooring really waterproof?

Many vinyl planks resist water at the plank surface, but seams, perimeter edges, adhesive and the subfloor still have product-specific limits. Active moisture and subfloor readiness must be addressed before installation.

How long does an installation usually take?

Start-date availability is confirmed after the measured scope, preparation and material requirements are known. The written scope provides the planned workdays and any relevant acclimation, curing or return-to-use timing before work begins.

Can you install vinyl plank over my old tile or hardwood?

In many cases, yes! As long as the existing floor is flat, level, and in good shape, we can often install the new vinyl plank right on top. We'll check it out first to make sure it's a good candidate.

Why We're Big Fans of Vinyl Plank

Honestly, what's not to love? Luxury Vinyl Plank (or LVP) is a fantastic flooring material that's come a long way. It's made of multiple layers, including a tough-as-nails wear layer on top that protects it from scuffs and scratches. The best part for many of us is that it's completely waterproof. You don't have to panic about a spilled drink or the snow melting off your boots in the entryway. This makes it a game-changer for any room in the house, especially ones where you'd never dream of putting real wood.

The style options are nearly endless, too. The imaging technology they use today is incredible, so the planks have realistic wood grain textures, knots, and colour variations. You can find a style that matches your home perfectly, whether you live in a modern condo or a classic Toronto semi. It's also much warmer and softer underfoot than something like ceramic tile, which is a nice little bonus on those chilly winter mornings.

Where Does It Work Best in Your Home?

Many vinyl planks resist water at the plank surface, but seams, edges and the floor assembly below still require attention. Suitability depends on the specific product, approved room use, subfloor condition and moisture readiness confirmed before installation.

"My project was a little over 1000 sq ft of hardwood flooring, 350 ft of baseboard trim, 350 feet of door stop and 10 sq ft of tile in front of a fireplace. Upon completion, the rooms looked fabulous for 2 reasons. One was the natural warmth and elegance of wood flooring and secondly, the workmanship of Rudy and his crew. The quality and professionalism of the job was no more evident then where the tile and wood met. The tile was raised to the level of the wood thickness and the 2 met each other at an odd angle. The transition between the 2 surfaces was seamless and flawless and no transition pieces were required to hide any shortcomings. I was most impressed with this part of the job as only an experienced professional would do such a perfect job. In addition, Rudy and his crew were very courteous and cleaned up the mess after each days work. Even though I invited them to bring their saws and cutters indoors because it was cold, they insisted on doing this part of the job outdoor to minimise the mess in my home. I would definitely recommend Rudy and his crew to anyone seeking to have their flooring done. He is reasonably priced and offers quality work in exchange. Thanks Rudy and crew. Great Job."

"Rudy was extremely professional and efficient. We were on a very tight timeline and he was able to help us go from quote to full install in 5 days. His team was very professional and they did a good job tiding up after themselves. Our floors look amazing. I would highly recommend using this company, they are all the things you could ask for in a contractor; polite, neat, reasonably priced and timely. Thank you so much again Rudy for all your great work!"
