Vinyl plank flooring (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 2,000+ vinyl plank SKUs from Grandeur, Harbinger, Biyork, Mannington, MSI Surfaces, Triforest, Inhaus, and more — SPC, WPC, click-lock, and glue-down formats — shipped Canada-wide.

Why 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) vinyl plank reads as authentic wood at conversational distance — a different category from the smooth vinyl of the 1990s.
  • DIY-friendly install — Click-lock vinyl plank can be installed by a competent DIYer in a weekend with no glue, no nails, and minimal tools.
  • Quiet underfoot — SPC vinyl plank 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.

Vinyl plank purchasing concerns — solved

  • "Will it look fake?" Mid-to-premium vinyl plank with EIR texture and 4-side bevels is convincingly wood-like. Cheap vinyl plank (under $2/sq ft) is the source of "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.
  • "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 orders 1,000+ sq ft.

Frequently asked questions

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

How much does vinyl plank cost?
Vinyl plank 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 it dent under heavy furniture?
SPC vinyl plank 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 vinyl plank last?
15–25 years residential, 10–15 years commercial — with proper installation and maintenance. Warranty length is a good proxy for expected lifespan.
