FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know — answered honestly.

How much does laminate flooring cost in Toronto?

Laminate flooring in Toronto typically costs $5 to $8 per square foot fully installed, depending on the product grade, thickness and room complexity. We provide free in-home estimates for exact pricing.

How long does laminate flooring installation take?

Most laminate installations are completed in 1–2 days. Larger spaces or complex layouts may take longer. Our certified Toronto installers work efficiently to minimize disruption.

Is laminate flooring waterproof?

Standard laminate is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. However, we carry waterproof laminate collections that can handle spills and moderate moisture — ideal for kitchens in Toronto homes.

Can laminate be installed over existing flooring?

In many cases yes — laminate can be installed over existing tile, hardwood or vinyl as long as the surface is flat, level and in good condition. We assess this during your free estimate.

What is the AC rating for laminate flooring?

AC ratings (AC1 to AC5) measure laminate durability. AC3 is recommended for residential use; AC4 and AC5 are for commercial applications. We'll recommend the right rating for your usage.

Does laminate flooring need underlayment?

Yes. Quality underlayment reduces noise, adds warmth, smooths minor subfloor imperfections and is essential for a comfortable and long-lasting laminate installation.

Can laminate be installed in basements?

Yes, with the right product. We recommend waterproof or moisture-resistant laminate collections for below-grade installations in Toronto homes.

How do I clean laminate flooring?

Sweep or vacuum regularly, then damp-mop with a laminate-specific cleaner. Avoid excess water and steam mops, as they can cause swelling over time.

How long does laminate flooring last?

Quality laminate typically lasts 15–25 years with proper care. Higher AC ratings and thicker boards generally offer greater longevity.

Can laminate be installed on stairs?

Yes — we offer laminate stair installation using specially designed stair nosings and matching profiles. Contact us for stair installation pricing in Toronto.

Laminate vs hardwood — which is better?

Hardwood adds more resale value and can be refinished multiple times. Laminate is more durable against scratches, more affordable, and better for families with pets. We'll help you choose based on your priorities.

Do you remove old flooring before installing laminate?

Yes — our full installation service includes removal and disposal of your existing flooring. We handle everything from start to finish.
