Vinyl plank is the most-installed floor in Toronto and the one that solves the most local problems at once. In condos it satisfies acoustic underlay requirements when paired with a rated pad, it is waterproof for kitchens and ensuites, and it is light enough to move up an elevator without difficulty. In houses it handles the 35-point humidity swing between a Toronto August and a Toronto January without gapping, which matters in the older homes where solid hardwood struggles. For basements in East York, Scarborough and Etobicoke, rigid-core vinyl over a dimpled subfloor panel is the standard specification, and it is the only common product that survives a sump failure intact.

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.

Floating plank and tile floors that snap together over most existing subfloors. Fully waterproof, quick and clean to install, and ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, mud-rooms, basements and entryways.
Glue-Down Vinyl
For high-traffic or commercial spaces, glue-down LVT and LVP give the most stable, longest-lasting installation. Our experts work with both hard-set and pressure-sensitive adhesives.

Heavy, dimensionally stable planks that lay directly on the subfloor with minimal adhesive. Perfect for time-sensitive projects and rentals.
Sheet Vinyl
A time-tested classic. Seamless, water-resistant and cost-effective for laundry rooms, bathrooms and rental units.

Vinyl flooring questions from Toronto
01Will my Toronto condo approve vinyl plank?
Almost always, provided you use an acoustic underlay meeting the building's required IIC rating, usually 55 or higher, and submit the spec sheet with your contractor's insurance for written approval. Allow two to four weeks.
02Is vinyl plank good enough for a Toronto resale?
Yes. Buyers now expect waterproof flooring in kitchens and basements, and a consistent mid-tone vinyl across a main floor shows well. Hardwood still carries more prestige in period homes in the Annex or Rosedale.
03How much does vinyl flooring cost in Toronto?
Vinyl flooring runs about $5.5–11 per square foot installed in Toronto, with labour alone at $2.2–4.95. A 1,000 square foot area therefore lands roughly between $5,500 and $11,000 before tax. Ontario quotes add 13% HST on both materials and labour. Removal of the old floor, subfloor preparation, stairs and baseboards are quoted separately.
04Do you have vinyl installers across Toronto?
Yes. Flooring Local installers cover all of Toronto, including Downtown & Waterfront, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough and the surrounding communities. Every request includes a free in-home measure and a written quote with materials and labour listed separately.
