At Floors Depot, we recently completed a beautiful commercial flooring installation at one of Vancouver’s most historic and prestigious athletic facilities — the Vancouver Lawn Tennis & Badminton Club, located at 1630 W 15th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V6J 2K7.
This project combined craftsmanship, functionality, and elegance in equal measure — exactly what’s required when working in a venue that has served as a cornerstone of Vancouver’s social and sporting life for more than a century.
Preserving Tradition Through Modern Craftsmanship
The Vancouver Lawn Tennis & Badminton Club isn’t just a sports facility; it’s a piece of local heritage. Established in 1913, it has hosted generations of athletes, families, and community events. Any renovation within its walls must respect that history while delivering durability and performance for daily use.
Our role was to install high-performance commercial flooring across key interior areas — spaces that endure heavy foot traffic from members, staff, and guests year-round. The club required a solution that blended aesthetic refinement with long-term resilience.
Commercial Flooring Project Overview
Client: Vancouver Lawn Tennis & Badminton Club
Location: 1630 W 15th Ave, Vancouver BC (near Shaughnessy & South Granville)
Scope: Complete commercial floor installation for multi-purpose areas and corridors
Materials Used: Premium luxury vinyl plank (LVP) with commercial-grade wear layer, acoustic underlayment, and moisture-resistant adhesive
Timeline: 8 business days
Contractor: Floors Depot – Vancouver commercial flooring company
Why Commercial Flooring Matters for Athletic & Social Clubs
In commercial environments like fitness centers and private clubs, flooring plays a crucial role in both performance and presentation. Members expect a clean, elegant environment, while management demands materials that can withstand constant movement, moisture, and cleaning cycles.
Our design team helped the club choose a vinyl plank system that mimicked the warmth of natural hardwood while offering superior slip resistance and water protection. For areas adjacent to court entrances and lounges, we integrated transition profiles and trim pieces for a seamless flow between zones.
The result: a modern yet classic look that respects the club’s architectural style and ensures lasting functionality.
Installation Process: Precision at Every Step
1. Site Preparation
We began by performing a full moisture test and subfloor inspection. The original substrate required minor levelling and patching to achieve a perfectly smooth surface — essential for long-term adhesion and performance.
2. Material Acclimation
Given Vancouver’s humid coastal climate, all materials were acclimated on site for 48 hours to ensure dimensional stability. This step prevents expansion or contraction after installation.
3. Installation
Using commercial-grade pressure-sensitive adhesive, our installers precisely aligned each plank to maintain a consistent grain pattern throughout. Every seam was rolled and inspected to guarantee bond strength.
4. Finishing Touches
We added custom transition trims between flooring zones, along with baseboards to complete the clean aesthetic. The final inspection confirmed uniform adhesion, no lippage, and excellent visual alignment.
Before & After Transformation
When the “before” photos show dated, worn flooring — and the “after” reveals a refreshed, elegant surface that reflects ambient light and complements the interior woodwork — the transformation speaks for itself.
The new floors not only elevate the space's look but also improve acoustic comfort and safety for members walking between the courts, lounge, and dining areas.
Challenges & Solutions
Every commercial project comes with unique site constraints. For this installation, access scheduling was critical — the club needed to remain partially operational throughout.
Our team coordinated closely with facility managers to stage the work in sections, minimizing disruption and ensuring safe member access. Evening work hours and dust-containment systems allowed us to complete the project efficiently and cleanly.
