When Simon Fraser University decided to renovate The Study at their Burnaby campus, they needed a flooring contractor who could deliver durability, design, and flawless execution on a large scale. Floors Depot was proud to be chosen as the supplier and installer for this 6,000 sq ft project, which combined luxury vinyl plank, tile, and painting to create a modern, high-traffic-ready environment.
Large-Scale Commercial Flooring in Burnaby
This project demanded materials built for constant foot traffic from students, faculty, and visitors. Floors Depot supplied and installed glue-down high-traffic luxury vinyl planks across common areas, dining spaces, and lounges. Vinyl plank was selected for its durability, moisture resistance, acoustic performance, and easy maintenance—key for institutional facilities.
Project Details – The Study at SFU, Burnaby
Client: Simon Fraser University
Location: Burnaby, BC
Size: 6,000 sq ft
Year: 2018
Timeline: 2 months
Materials: High-traffic luxury vinyl plank (glue-down), porcelain washroom tiles, commercial-grade paints
Scope: Removal of old flooring, subfloor prep, vinyl plank installation (floors + stairs), washroom tile installation, full painting package
Result: Delivered a durable, modern, and low-maintenance flooring system built for heavy daily traffic, completed on time and on budget.
Washroom Tile Installation – Custom and Resilient
Our team also upgraded washrooms with porcelain tile flooring laid in a custom herringbone pattern, adding both design and performance. Tiles were chosen for their slip-resistance, hygiene benefits, and modern aesthetic, helping create a welcoming, safe, and easy-to-clean environment.
Staircase Vinyl Plank Installation
Floors Depot installed vinyl planks on staircases with commercial-grade nosings for safety and long-term durability. This ensured seamless design continuity from floors to stairs and compliance with commercial building codes.
Painting and Finishing
Beyond flooring, we delivered commercial painting across walls, ceilings, and trim, refreshing the interior and complementing the new floors.
Completed On-Time and On-Budget
The project spanned two months and was completed on schedule, minimizing disruption to the campus. The result is a modernized venue that reflects SFU’s standards while standing up to the demands of a busy institutional hub.
