Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring (LVP) — Wood-Look Waterproof Vinyl Canada-Wide

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) is Canada's fastest-growing residential floor — 100% waterproof, realistic wood-look surface, click-lock or glue-down installation, and a fraction of the cost of engineered hardwood. Yaletown Floor stocks 990+ LVP SKUs from Bjelin, Vidar, Grandeur, Mannington, Simba, Inhaus, Triforest, Harbinger, MSI Surfaces, and more — SPC, WPC, click-lock, and glue-down formats — shipped Canada-wide.

Why luxury vinyl plank flooring

  • 100% waterproof — Install in bathrooms, basements, kitchens, mudrooms, and laundry rooms with no risk of moisture damage to the floor itself.
  • Realistic wood looks — Modern embossed-in-register (EIR) LVP reads as authentic wood at conversational distance — a different category from the smooth vinyl of the 1990s.
  • DIY-friendly install — Click-lock LVP can be installed by a competent DIYer in a weekend with no glue, no nails, minimal tools.
  • Quiet underfoot — SPC LVP with attached underlayment is noticeably quieter than laminate or engineered hardwood — ideal for condos and second floors.
  • Lower cost than hardwood or tile — Premium LVP runs $3–$7 CAD per sq ft — typically 30–50% less than comparable engineered hardwood with similar realism.

Luxury vinyl plank purchasing concerns — solved

  • "Will it look fake?" Mid-to-premium LVP with EIR texture and 4-side bevels is convincingly wood-like. Cheap LVP (under $2/sq ft) is the source of the "fake-looking" reputation — sample mid-grade and above.
  • "SPC, WPC, or hybrid?" SPC (stone-polymer core) is harder and more dent-resistant; WPC (wood-polymer core) is softer and warmer underfoot. Both are fully waterproof. SPC is the modern default.
  • "Click-lock or glue-down?" Click-lock for DIY and floating installs over almost any subfloor. Glue-down for commercial settings and large continuous spaces where seam strength matters.
  • "How thick should it be?" 4mm minimum for residential use; 5–6mm for high-traffic. Wear layer 12–20 mil for residential, 20+ mil for commercial.
  • "Delivery and samples?" Free samples Canada-wide in 2–3 business days. Free shipping on full-floor orders (1,000+ sq ft) via national freight.

Frequently asked questions

Is luxury vinyl plank truly waterproof?
Yes — 100% waterproof material. The seams between planks are also water-resistant; for total seam waterproofing in wet areas, glue-down installation is recommended.

Can LVP go over existing flooring?
Click-lock LVP floats over almost any flat, dry, structurally sound subfloor including tile, hardwood, and existing vinyl. Glue-down requires a clean subfloor.

How much does luxury vinyl plank cost?
LVP at Yaletown Floor ranges from $2 to $8 CAD per sq ft. Mid-grade SPC at $3–$5 is the sweet spot for most residential installs.

Will LVP dent under heavy furniture?
SPC LVP resists dents from typical residential furniture with felt pads. Sharp point loads (high heels, dropped knife points) can dent any vinyl — protect with rugs in high-risk areas.

How long does luxury vinyl plank last?
15–25 years residential, 10–15 years commercial — with proper installation and maintenance.
