Montreal has strong demand for sustainable flooring, driven by the Plateau and Rosemont's environmentally minded demographics and by a broader Quebec preference for natural materials. Cork and true linoleum both appear more often here than the national average, and both suit plexes well because they are quiet underfoot. Quebec also has a domestic hardwood industry, so FSC-certified local maple and birch are readily available and have a genuinely short supply chain. Certification paperwork must be requested at the time of order.

Green Flooring flooring questions from Montreal
01Is Quebec hardwood a sustainable choice?
It can be among the best available. Quebec produces maple, birch and yellow birch domestically, so FSC-certified local hardwood has a very short supply chain compared with imported products.
02Does cork work in a Montreal plex?
Well. It is quiet, which matters in shared buildings, warm underfoot on a cold winter floor, and comfortable to stand on. It needs a maintained finish and pads under heavy furniture.
03How much does green flooring flooring cost in Montreal?
Green Flooring flooring runs about $3.8–7.6 per square foot installed in Montreal, with labour alone at $1.66–3.32. A 1,000 square foot area therefore lands roughly between $3,800 and $7,600 before tax. Quebec quotes add 5% GST and 9.975% QST on materials and labour. Removal of the old floor, subfloor preparation, stairs and baseboards are quoted separately.
