Is vinyl plank flooring truly waterproof?

Yes, the product itself is 100% waterproof. It won't be damaged by water. However, a major flood can still affect the subfloor underneath, which is a separate issue.

How long will this floor last?

With proper installation and a quality product, a residential vinyl plank floor can last 15-25 years. The lifespan depends on the thickness of the wear layer and the amount of foot traffic.

Can you install it over my existing floor?

Sometimes. It can often be installed over existing hard surfaces like tile or sheet vinyl, provided the floor is flat and in good condition. We always inspect the subfloor first to make sure.

You need a floor that works as hard as you do. Vinyl plank is a practical choice for homeowners in Fenelon Falls because it stands up to real life. It gives you the look of hardwood without the worry or high maintenance. Whether you're dealing with wet winters or busy family life, this flooring is built to handle it. It's a straightforward, durable solution for any room inside your home.

What is Vinyl Plank Flooring?

Let's keep it simple. Vinyl plank is a multi-layered, synthetic flooring material designed to look like real wood. It's made from a PVC core for stability, a high-resolution print layer for the wood grain look, and a heavy-duty transparent wear layer on top. The quality is in that wear layer. A thicker wear layer means better protection against scratches and scuffs from furniture, pets, and daily traffic. We only install products with a substantial wear layer because anything less just doesn't hold up.

The Best Choice for High-Traffic & Wet Areas

This is where vinyl plank really performs. Because it's 100% waterproof, it’s the best option for basements, laundry rooms, bathrooms, and kitchens. Unlike laminate or hardwood, it won't swell or buckle when exposed to moisture. It’s also a solid choice for main living areas, hallways, and cottages where you have people coming in and out constantly. It's a floor that doesn't require you to be delicate with it. It’s built for durability, not for show.

The Installation Process

We do it right so it lasts. Proper subfloor preparation is critical. We make sure your subfloor is clean, flat, and dry before a single plank is laid. Most vinyl plank floors use a click-lock system, which creates tight seams that keep water out. We ensure every plank is seated correctly for a solid, gap-free finish. A properly installed vinyl floor is a long-term investment in your home. Get in touch for a no-nonsense assessment and quote for your project. Call us at (647) 898-7839.

★★★★★

"We had 3 quotes and 1 was double Rudy's out and the other guy said it couldn't be done. Rudy got it done and they look great. Spiral staircases, one with carpet that was removed and the other was a builders grade spiral to basement. Rudy was here every day at the exact time he said he would show up and was flexible to work with around our schedule. We were delayed a week, but once we got started everything was exactly on schedule. He custom matched the stain to our current floors and we are thrilled with the finished product. They cleaned up everyday at the end of the job sd were very respectful of our home and family life (2 small kids and pets). Absolutely would recommend Rudy and his guys"

"Great experience, workers were reliable, constant open communication regarding progress of the jobs. Fair market pricing I always get multiple quotes for projects so I know the pricing was competitive. Pleasant to work with and accommodating. Quick to return calls and e-mails. Will have Rudy back to install another job later this year in 2014."

"I did my floor and learn that the stairs are not included because it is a different kind of job that needed to be done. I start looking for a person or company that can complete the stairs job in a timely manner and cost efficient. I receive many quotes but Rudy’s quote was details and easy to understand. After reviewing all quotes, I decide to give the job to Rudy. A bit scared of what will come out of it, Rudy reassure me that my house was his show room and I will be please when is done. Let me say I am not please but over please. Rudy was efficient, extremely professional. He respected my time line as I was expecting my kids that weekend. 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!"
