Flooring Options
Walk Through Our Showroom
Hardwood
Hardwood is a high-quality material flooring that has been a prominent force in the flooring industry for ages. We have hardwood in a wide range of species, finishes, colours and lengths featuring a variety of different qualities and benefits. Our knowledgeable team is available to discuss any preferences and concerns you may have to assist you in finding the right product for your space.
Luxury Vinyl Plank
This vinyl flooring is an easy-care, waterproof product that looks and feels like natural wood or stone. Luxury vinyl is made using photographed images combined with textures to resemble natural wood or stone. The composition and appearance of vinyl flooring has drastically improved over the past decade making it a solid, more affordable, alternative to hardwoods and tiles.
Sheet Vinyl
The biggest advantage of sheet vinyl over vinyl tile or planks is its ability to resist moisture. Since it is installed in large sheets, there are fewer seams running throughout the floor and less opportunity for water to get between the cracks. Sheet vinyl is an economical alternative to other vinyls. There are hundreds of design and colour options available making this a great choice for those looking for a unique and durable floor.
Carpet
Carpet is a soft and comfortable choice for bedrooms, family areas and stairs. There are two primary types of carpet fibres available; natural fibres which are predominantly wool, or synthetic fibres which tend to be nylon, olefin or polyester. Carpet can be installed as a runner or full cover to soften sharp stairs and an underlay can be installed to increase comfort and durability.
Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood looks identical to hardwood but is more durable and better at withstanding moisture. The top layer is made out of a thin sheet of real hardwood which allows it to be sanded down and refinished a few times. Everything below the veneer top is high-quality plywood – providing it with stability and dimensional strength that outweighs real hardwood.
Laminate
Laminate is a durable, budget friendly alternative to hardwood that is easy to clean and install. This scratch resistant flooring uses heat, pressure and adhesive to fuse together several layers of different materials and is Abrasion Class (AC) rated. Laminate is a great option for high traffic areas that has recently gained popularity due to its longevity and minimal maintenance.
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tile is ideal for high-traffic rooms or commercial areas because it is easy to clean and maintain while achieving a look of elegance. There are many ceramic tile options such as glazed, unglazed, terra cotta or porcelain which come in an endless variety of design options. Installing ceramic tile can be a challenging and tedious process that is often best left to a professional. That being said, a well installed ceramic floor that is properly cared for can last decades.
Commercial Carpet Tile
Carpet tile is an ideal option for high-traffic areas or commercial spaces due to its high durability. Carpet tile comes in pre-sized squares with integrated backings and bases making it exceptionally easy to initially install or to replace any damaged sections later on.

Natural stone has remained a favourable option for ages due to its unrivalled aesthetic and durability. The enhanced durability of natural stone allows it to withstand rain, sunlight, dirt and wind. Natural stone is a veneer made from real stone that has been quarried from the earth and sliced into thin profiles.
