Collection: Laminate Flooring Toronto

Laminate is a synthetic product made of a high-density fiberboard core with a photographic layer and protective wear layer on top. Hardwood is milled from solid timber. Laminate costs significantly less, resists scratches better, and is easier to install, but cannot be refinished. Hardwood adds more resale value and lasts longer when well maintained.

Yes — most modern laminate is compatible with radiant (underfloor) heating systems, but the surface temperature must not exceed 27°C (80°F). Always check the manufacturer's specifications. A floating installation method is recommended, and you should allow the floor to acclimate for at least 48 hours before installation.

Measure the length and width of the room in feet and multiply to get square footage. Add 10% for standard rooms to account for cuts and waste, or 15% if you're installing on a diagonal. Order all material from the same batch to ensure colour consistency.

Standard laminate is water-resistant but not fully waterproof — prolonged exposure to standing water can cause swelling and warping. Many of our products feature enhanced water-resistant cores suitable for kitchens and bathrooms. Look for 'waterproof' in the product description, or ask our team for recommendations.

Underlayment adds cushioning, sound reduction, and a moisture barrier between the subfloor and your laminate. Many of our laminate boards come with pre-attached underlayment. If yours does not, a separate 2–3mm foam or cork underlayment is recommended — do not double-layer if the board already has it attached.

Quality laminate flooring typically lasts 15–25 years in a residential setting. Lifespan depends on the AC rating, foot traffic, maintenance, and whether it was installed correctly. AC3-rated boards are suitable for most homes; commercial or high-traffic areas benefit from AC4–AC5.
