Vinyl flooring
Vinyl flooring has progressed by leaps and bounds. It is now a powerhouse category—versatile, waterproof, budget-smart and truly stylish. Vinyl works especially well in basements, high-traffic family zones and with cost-sensitive designs that still demand a polished look. Rêve carries a wide selection of vinyl flooring, with the emphasis on luxury vinyl plank. We can help you find just the right product—simply drop in for an expert consultation.
Major brands we carry
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Vinyl plank can be modern and sleek, in a spectrum of colours and washes. It can also mimic hardwood remarkably well. Our collections range from 7″×48″ to 9″×72″ planks, offering styles from clean and contemporary to rustic and hand-scraped. There are two main core types, which include:
- SPC (Stone Polymer Core): Ultra-rigid, best for temperature fluctuations and uneven subfloors.
- WPC (Wood Plastic Composite): Slightly softer underfoot, with excellent sound-dampening properties.
We typically recommend WPC vinyl plank, but it all depends on placement and usage. All vinyl plank is perfect for kitchens, basements, rentals and anywhere that moisture is a concern. LVP typically clicks together snugly, installed as a floating floor, often with a built-in underlay.
Vinyl Tile (LVT)
Vinyl Tile is designed to replicate stone, concrete, or ceramic. Unlike porcelain tile, it’s warm underfoot, soft to stand on, and grout-free. And it won’t break when something heavy is dropped! A smart pick for bathrooms and laundry areas where comfort and waterproofing are key.
Two other vinyl options are glue-down vinyl and laminate. Glue-down vinyl, sometimes known as loose-lay, is mostly used in commercial or long-term rental settings. This system adheres fully to a prepared subfloor with pressure-sensitive or full-spread adhesive. It’s secure and silent underfoot and damaged planks are easily replaced, but subfloor flatness is critical.
Laminate still has the hands-down toughest surface coating for scratch resistance, but it’s no longer as popular due to inferior water resistance. Still, it can be a good fit for offices or upper-floor bedrooms. Ask us about current lines.
