Vinyl plank has become the default in Montreal plexes and condos, and the reason is acoustic. In a triplex where your floor is your neighbour's ceiling, rigid-core vinyl over a quality acoustic underlay is the cheapest meaningful noise reduction available, and in a divided co-ownership it is usually what the declaration effectively requires. It is also waterproof, which matters in Montreal's older buildings where plumbing is often original. For garden-level and semi-basement units, common across Verdun, Rosemont and Hochelaga, vinyl over a vapour barrier is the only sensible choice.

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 Montreal
01Do I need an acoustic underlay under vinyl in a Montreal plex?
If the building is a divided co-ownership, the declaration almost certainly requires one. Even if you own the whole plex, adding it during installation is the cheapest chance you will ever have to reduce noise between floors.
02Is vinyl suitable for a semi-basement Montreal apartment?
Yes, and it is the right choice. Rigid-core vinyl over a vapour barrier handles the moisture these units carry, where laminate and hardwood would fail.
03How much does vinyl flooring cost in Montreal?
Vinyl flooring runs about $4.27–8.55 per square foot installed in Montreal, with labour alone at $1.9–3.8. A 1,000 square foot area therefore lands roughly between $4,275 and $8,550 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.
04Do you have vinyl installers across Montreal?
Yes. Flooring Local installers cover all of Montreal, including Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Villeray, Ahuntsic and the surrounding communities. Every request includes a free in-home measure and a written quote with materials and labour listed separately.
