WHAT IS VINYL PLANK FLOORING (LVP)?
Vinyl plank flooring is a versatile, durable, and waterproof flooring option that mimics the natural look of hardwood while offering superior resistance to moisture and wear. Made from multiple layers of PVC with a rigid core, it provides a comfortable underfoot feel, making it ideal for both residential and commercial spaces.
​
Unlike traditional hardwood, vinyl plank flooring is scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and more affordable, making it a perfect choice for busy households, pet owners, and high-traffic areas.
WHY VINYL PLANK FLOORING WORKS FOR EVERY LIFESTYLE
Vinyl plank flooring is the ultimate combination of form and function. It’s 100% waterproof, making it ideal for moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. The scratch- and dent-resistant surface stands up to kids, pets, and high-traffic use without fading or warping.
​
​
Our vinyl planks are comfortable underfoot and compatible with radiant floor heating—perfect for chilly Vancouver winters. They also reduce footstep noise, making them great for upstairs bedrooms or multi-unit homes.
​
Visually, vinyl plank flooring offers everything from classic oak and maple to trendy gray-wash and rustic textures. It’s a designer’s dream with the performance of commercial-grade materials.
POPULAR PLACES TO INSTALL VINYL PLANKS
Vinyl Plank Flooring for Homes
-
Living rooms & bedrooms: Achieve the look of real hardwood with enhanced durability.
-
Bathrooms & kitchens: 100% waterproof and resistant to spills.
-
Basements: Won’t warp or swell due to humidity.
​

-
Restaurants & cafes: Easy to clean, hygienic, and slip-resistant.
-
Hotels & hospitality: Luxury appearance with cost-effective pricing.
HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT VINYL PLANK FLOORING
1. Thickness & Durability
Vinyl plank flooring typically ranges from 2mm to 8mm in thickness. For residential use, 4-6mm is recommended, while commercial spaces may require 6mm+ for added durability.
​
2. Wear Layer & Surface Protection
The wear layer is what protects your flooring from scratches and dents. Choose at least 12 mil (0.3mm) for homes and 20 mil (0.5mm) for commercial applications.
​
3. Installation Methods
-
Click-Lock (Floating Floor): DIY-friendly, easy to install without glue.
-
Glue-Down: More stable and perfect for high-traffic areas.
-
Loose Lay: Quick installation with minimal adhesive needed.
PERFECT FOR VANCOUVER CONDOS & STRATA BUILDINGS
Vinyl plank flooring is one of the most strata-friendly flooring options available today. With the right underlayment, it easily meets or exceeds IIC and STC sound transmission ratings required by most strata councils. This makes it a popular choice for high-rise condos, townhomes, and multi-family units throughout Vancouver.
​
Click-lock floating vinyl plank systems are especially useful in strata buildings where glue-down options may not be permitted. We also assist with documentation and strata approval to make your renovation stress-free.
​
Whether you're renovating a Yaletown penthouse or a West End walk-up, our vinyl plank options deliver quiet, stylish, waterproof flooring that keeps you and your neighbors happy.
THE BEST FLOORING FOR RENTAL UNITS & LANDLORDS
Luxury vinyl plank is a landlord’s dream flooring. It’s cost-effective, attractive, and stands up to heavy use. Tenants love it because it looks like hardwood, and property owners love it because it resists damage from water, pets, spills, and everyday wear.
​
If a single plank gets damaged, it’s easily replaceable—no need to tear out the whole floor. It requires little to no maintenance between tenants, making turnovers faster and cheaper.
​
LVP also adds perceived value to your rental unit. In Vancouver’s competitive housing market, even a modest suite with beautiful flooring will rent faster and attract better tenants.
PET-FRIENDLY AND KID-SAFE FLOORING FOR MODERN FAMILIES
Families across Vancouver are choosing vinyl plank flooring because it’s safe, soft, and built to handle real life.
Our planks are phthalate-free, low-VOC, and certified for indoor air quality—perfect for babies and young children.
​
The smooth but textured surface prevents slips and falls, while the cushioned feel makes crawling, walking, and playing more comfortable. Spills, crayons, muddy paws, or dropped snacks are no match for LVP’s waterproof and stain-resistant surface.
​
For pet owners, it’s a flooring solution that handles scratching claws, shedding fur, and accidents without showing wear. No need to worry about scratches or odors. Vinyl plank flooring keeps your home clean, safe, and stress-free.
IDEAL FOR BASEMENTS & RADIANT HEATED FLOORS
Basements are notoriously damp in Vancouver’s climate. That’s why luxury vinyl plank is one of the best basement flooring options available. Its rigid waterproof core doesn’t swell or warp with humidity, and it resists mold and mildew growth.
​
Because vinyl plank flooring is thinner and more thermally efficient than many other materials, it pairs beautifully with radiant heating systems. Whether you’re installing electric heat mats or hydronic heating, LVP enhances warmth and comfort while protecting against moisture.
​
It’s a popular choice for finished basements, in-law suites, and secondary rental units across Greater Vancouver.
BUILT FOR COMMERCIAL OFFICE & DENTAL, PHARMACY USE
Vinyl plank flooring isn’t just for homes—it’s a high-performance solution for commercial and healthcare settings, too. We install LVP in offices, medical clinics, pharmacies, dental practices, wellness centers, and more.
​
It offers the warm, inviting look of hardwood with the toughness needed for commercial foot traffic. The wear layers are engineered to resist scuffing, denting, and scratching—making it perfect for waiting rooms, retail floors, and professional spaces.
​
It’s also easy to sanitize and safe for healthcare environments. The waterproof surface makes it easy to clean spills and maintain hygiene standards in medical and wellness clinics.

LATEST FLOORS DEPOT REVIEWS
We required an emergency floor replacement due on very short notice. We called Alex at 4pm on Friday afternoon and he was there by 6. Within days our floor was replaced and we were able to move back in. Alex and his team did an outstanding job. Their customer service is excellent. Marjan and I highly recommend Floors Depot!
​
Kevin Day
Alex was a clear communicator. The job was done quickly and he was accommodating to our tight schedule. When some unforeseen challenges came up with the renovation (out of his control) he solved it and kept the project on schedule. Our floors look great, and the whole experience was stress free. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone!

VINYL FLOORING FAQ
What are luxury vinyl planks (LVP) made of?

Are luxury vinyl planks water-resistant?
Yes, luxury vinyl planks are highly water-resistant, making them suitable for moisture-prone areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Some types, like rigid core vinyl planks, offer enhanced water resistance.
How do I maintain luxury vinyl plank flooring?
Maintenance is simple. Regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional mopping with a mild cleaner will keep your LVP looking new. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steam mops.
Can luxury vinyl planks be installed over existing flooring?

What is the difference between rigid core and flexible core vinyl planks?
Rigid core vinyl planks have a solid, stable core that provides enhanced durability and impact resistance, making them suitable for high-traffic areas and uneven subfloors. Flexible core vinyl planks are more pliable and can conform to the shape of the subfloor.
How long does luxury vinyl plank flooring last?
With proper care and maintenance, luxury vinyl plank flooring can last 20 years or more. The longevity of the flooring depends on the quality of the product and the level of foot traffic it endures.
