Vinyl plank solves two distinctly Winnipeg problems at once. Indoor relative humidity here falls to 15 percent or below in winter, the driest of any major Canadian city, and vinyl does not respond to it. And Winnipeg's expansive riverbank clay cracks basement slabs seasonally, where a floating vinyl floor over a dimpled subfloor panel bridges minor cracks and accommodates movement that would destroy a bonded floor. For a city where both the air and the ground work against flooring, vinyl is the pragmatic answer.

About vinyl flooring
Luxury vinyl plank, tile and sheet vinyl are the most popular floors in Canadian homes for a reason: they shrug off water, pets and winter boots, and they look great doing it. Your local expert helps you choose the right product and installation method for each room.

Vinyl flooring questions from Winnipeg
01Does vinyl handle Winnipeg's dry winters?
Completely. Vinyl responds to temperature only slightly and humidity almost not at all, which is exactly right for a city where indoor air sits at 15 percent for months.
02Will vinyl crack if my basement slab moves?
A floating vinyl floor over a dimpled subfloor panel tolerates minor slab movement and bridges small cracks. That is why it is the standard basement specification in Winnipeg.
03How much does vinyl flooring cost in Winnipeg?
Vinyl flooring runs about $4.75–9.5 per square foot installed in Winnipeg, with labour alone at $1.9–4.04. A 1,000 square foot area therefore lands roughly between $4,750 and $9,500 before tax. Manitoba quotes add 5% GST and 7% RST. Removal of the old floor, subfloor preparation, stairs and baseboards are quoted separately.
04Do you have vinyl installers across Winnipeg?
