What's the difference between LVP and LVT?
LVP (luxury vinyl plank) mimics wood in long planks. LVT (luxury vinyl tile) mimics stone or ceramic in tiles. Both are 100% waterproof — the choice comes down to the look you want.
Is luxury vinyl truly waterproof?
Yes — quality LVP and LVT is 100% waterproof through the entire core, not just the surface. That makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and basements.
Can vinyl be installed in a bathroom or kitchen?
Absolutely — waterproof luxury vinyl is one of the best choices for KW kitchens and bathrooms, handling moisture, spills and humidity far better than hardwood, laminate or carpet.
Can vinyl be installed over existing tile or hardwood?
In many cases, yes — over flat, stable, sound surfaces. We assess your specific situation during the free consultation.
Is vinyl good for basements?
Yes — it's a top pick for basements: 100% waterproof, comfortable over concrete subfloors and able to handle temperature changes.
How long does luxury vinyl last?
Quality luxury vinyl typically lasts 20–30 years with normal residential use. Wear-layer thickness is the key durability indicator — we'll recommend the right product for your lifestyle.
Is vinyl good for homes with pets or kids?
Yes — it's one of the most pet- and child-friendly options: scratch-resistant, waterproof, easy to clean and comfortable underfoot.
Is there a warranty on installation?
Yes — every installation comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty covering installation defects. The vinyl itself is covered by the manufacturer's separate wear warranty.
Do I need to move furniture before installation?
Our team handles standard furniture moving. Please clear small items, breakables and electronics from the rooms beforehand.
What areas do you serve?
Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph and surrounding communities including Elmira, St. Jacobs, New Hamburg, Baden, Breslau, Wellesley, Woolwich, Ayr, Fergus, Elora and Conestogo. Canada-wide delivery is also available on products.
