Why wide-plank laminate
- Modern aesthetic — 7"+ plank widths read contemporary in open-concept living rooms, kitchens, and master bedrooms.
- Fewer visible seams — Wider planks mean fewer joints across a floor — cleaner, more cohesive appearance.
- Makes rooms feel larger — Wide planks running the long direction of a room visually elongate the space.
- AC4+ durability — Wide-plank laminate at YaleTown Floor is AC4 minimum (residential heavy), AC5 for commercial.
- HDF core stability — Wider planks require stable cores. We don't stock wide-plank laminate with particle-board cores.
Wide-plank laminate purchasing concerns — solved
- "Best plank width for my room?" 7–9" reads modern in average rooms. 9"+ for large open-concept spaces. 5–6" for small bedrooms and bathrooms.
- "Subfloor flatness for wide-plank?" Wide planks magnify subfloor variation. Tolerance is 3mm over 3 meters — self-level low spots before installation.
- "Will it expand in humidity?" Wider planks see more linear expansion. Leave 3/8" perimeter expansion gaps; maintain 35–55% indoor RH.
- "Waterproof for kitchens?" Yes — waterproof wide-plank laminate exists with 48–72 hour spill warranties. Verify rating before purchase.
- "Free shipping?" Free Canada-wide delivery on orders 1,000+ sq ft. Smaller orders at flat-rate freight.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as "wide-plank" laminate?
7" and wider. Standard laminate runs 5–6".
Best installation method?
Click-lock floating floor over moisture-barrier underlayment. Wide-plank laminate is rarely glue-down.
Can I install wide-plank laminate myself?
Yes — click-lock is DIY-friendly. Wider planks are actually slightly easier to install (fewer pieces) but require more careful subfloor prep.
How much does wide-plank laminate cost?
$2.50–$5 per sq ft at YaleTown Floor. Premium wide-plank (12mm AC5 with attached cork underlayment) at the top of that range.
