Vinyl flooring: popular and affordable!

Durable and affordable, our resilient vinyl flooring comes in a wide range of finishes and colours. This type of flooring is ideal for basements, bedrooms, playrooms, 4 season sunrooms and even floors of motorized recreational vehicles.

Textile-backed flooring

Textile-backed flooring is revolutionizing the market with new standards of durability. They are more resistant to moisture than vinyl-backed resilient flooring because they can be installed on surfaces that are less than 4 feet above ground level. The textile backing creates a moisture barrier. They also have acoustic properties by absorbing the impact of sound. Our Tarkett TruTex collection does not need to be glued down as it will not balloon. It is also available in many finishes such as stone, wood and concrete. For residential projects, this flooring is resistant to humidity and mold stains. It is also very tear resistant and is a great flooring if you have pets.

Vinyl tiles or planks 

Our Vista, Elements or Sonata collections, which are 2.5mm thick, or the Classic collection, which is 2mm thick, are vinyl planks that must be glued to concrete or plywood. The substrate must be perfectly uniform, because the planks are thin and if there are imperfections in the subfloor, they will transfer to the surface of the material. Our collections have a wear layer from 0.3mm (Classic) to 0.5mm thick (Vista, Elements and Sonata). You will be spoiled for choice with their stone, wood or concrete look.

Clic planks or tiles with acoustic foam backing

We also have Clic vinyl planks with acoustic foam backing. For residential use, our Muskoka, Renaissance and Dura Pro collections are very resistant because they are made of a PVC resin and limestone and they have a protective layer resistant to UV rays so they will not fade. With its drop-lock system, installation is quick and you don’t need a professional installer. For cutting, you can use a manual tile cutter or a round saw. This product is also very advantageous because there is less material loss than with 12’-0” wide vinyl sheets.
