Flooring installation in Manitoba.

Clay soils, deep cold and very dry winters.

Manitoba combines the most extreme temperature range of any populated part of Canada with expansive clay soils that move foundations and slabs seasonally. Those two facts drive nearly every flooring decision in the province. Flooring Local matches you with an installer who understands both and quotes in writing after a free measure.

Flooring for the Manitoba climate

Winter indoor relative humidity falls to 15 percent or below for months, the driest in the country, while summers are hot and humid. Solid hardwood will gap visibly without whole-home humidification, and even engineered products benefit from it.

What to know before you get quotes in Manitoba

Riverbank clay swells and shrinks with moisture, cracking basement slabs and moving foundations. A dimpled subfloor panel under basement flooring accommodates minor movement far better than a bonded product.
Any foundation levelling or piling should be complete and settled before flooring is installed.
Solid hardwood needs a furnace humidifier held at 30 to 35 percent through the heating season.
