Common
Questions

All questions
What is the best flooring for a Vancouver Island home?

Luxury vinyl plank suits most Vancouver Island homes best, because the coast’s defining problem is moisture rather than wear. Wet boots, damp winters and homes with crawlspaces all favour a floor whose core will not swell. Laminate is an excellent, cheaper choice for bedrooms and living rooms that stay dry. Many homes are best served by a mix, waterproof plank through the wet rooms and laminate through the dry ones, rather than one product throughout.

What is the best flooring for basements?

The best flooring for basements is waterproof-core vinyl plank. Basements sit against soil that holds moisture year-round, and vapour moves upward through concrete slabs even when the slab looks bone dry. Laminate and engineered hardwood both have cores that swell when that vapour reaches them. Choose a waterproof-core plank and pair it with a proper vapour barrier over the slab, the barrier matters as much as the floor.

What is the best flooring for pets?

The best flooring for pets is luxury vinyl plank with a wear layer of 20 mil or thicker. Claw scratches are a surface-layer problem, so wear-layer thickness matters far more than the product category or the price. Avoid high-gloss finishes, which show every scratch, and avoid soft woods like pine entirely. A textured matte plank hides the marks pets inevitably leave.

How long does a new floor last?

A well-installed luxury vinyl plank floor lasts 20-25 years in a family home, and laminate 15-20 years. The single biggest factor is not the product, it is whether the subfloor was levelled and the expansion gap was left correctly. Floors that fail early almost always fail from installation shortcuts, not from the material wearing out.

How much does it cost to install flooring on Vancouver Island?

It depends far more on the condition of your subfloor than on the size of the room, which is why we quote in person and free of charge rather than over the phone. Laminate is the most economical option and luxury vinyl plank sits above it, with the wear layer and plank thickness you choose driving most of the difference. We give one firm written number covering material, subfloor prep, removal of the old floor and installation together. Not a per-item estimate that grows later.
