Start here

One expert. One quote. Every unit.

Turnovers run on a calendar, not a mood board. Tell your assigned flooring expert how many units, what's in them now and when the next tenant moves in, and they'll come back with one written quote covering the floor, the trims and the delivery — and the samples to prove the colour before you commit a whole building to it.

  • Quantities across units

    Square footage by unit type, overage, and what to hold back for repairs later.

  • Choosing one floor for many units

    A colour that hides wear, a wear layer that survives tenants, and a line you can reorder when a unit needs patching.

  • Commercial warranty and wear layer

    What the published commercial warranty and mil rating actually cover, and which line fits your turnover cycle.

  • Glue-down or click

    Yellowknife is glue-down, the rest click together. Your expert will tell you which suits your subfloors and your installers.

  • Delivery to the property

    Freight scheduled around your turnover dates and your site access.

  • Trade pricing

    Ask your expert about the BuildDirect PRO program if you're buying for more than one property.

Your expert works with you by phone and email. We don't offer in-home design visits.

Sample before you commit a building to it

Twelve colourways from six waterproof lines with commercial warranties, ordered from the most accessible price up. Five samples are free; your expert can arrange more for a multi-unit decision.

    Compare the lines

    Six turnover floors. The difference is wear layer, warranty and price.

    Every line here is waterproof and carries a published commercial warranty. What changes is how thick the protective surface is, how long the commercial cover runs, and what it costs per square foot.

    The wear layer is the clear protective coat on top of a vinyl plank, measured in mils (thousandths of an inch). It is the part that takes the traffic, and a thicker one takes more of it before the print underneath shows. Every specification on this page is read from the live product catalogue, so it cannot drift from what you receive. Not sure what your rooms need? That is exactly what your flooring expert is for.

    What landlords and contractors tell us

    • ★★★★★

      Another company back ordered my flooring and put the job in jeopardy. I contacted BuildDirect and within 4 business days had my flooring in hand. The communication was phenomenal throughout, and BuildDirect has definitely earned themselves our future business as a new customer. -Robberts & Rains Renovation
      Von R. · Yotpo verified buyer · Yellowknife · July 2025
    • ★★★★★

      This is a very nice looking vinyl that was an easy install. I had some water/mold damage and had to replace about 225sq/ft but still had it in stock and the planks matched up well 3 years later. Very good price, communication, and overall experience.
      Ryan K. · Yotpo verified buyer · Influence · March 2026
    • ★★★★★

      I was assigned a person to help with any questions about a product, specs, etc. I ran into a problem and my assigned person was very useful in getting it taken care of.

    Questions before you order

    How fast can you deliver?

    Your expert confirms stock and a delivery date before you order, against your turnover schedule. We don't quote a delivery promise on this page because it depends on the line, the quantity and the property; the quote does.

    What does the commercial warranty cover?

    The published commercial warranty on each card is the manufacturer's cover for the floor in a non-residential setting, which is how rental units are typically classed. Your expert will send the warranty document for any line you're considering.

    Glue-down or click-lock for rentals?

    Click-lock floats over the subfloor and installs fastest. Glue-down (Yellowknife here) bonds to the subfloor, never shifts, and lets an installer lift and replace a single damaged plank. Your expert will tell you which fits your subfloors and your crew.

    Can I reorder the same floor later for repairs?

    These are stocked lines, and landlords do come back to match them. Your expert can tell you what's in stock today and advise on holding back boxes for repairs.

    Do you offer trade pricing?

    Ask your expert about the BuildDirect PRO program if you're buying for more than one property.

    Are the samples really free?

    Yes. You can choose five samples at no cost, and they ship 2nd day air. For a multi-unit decision your expert can arrange more.

    What happens after I order samples?

    We assign you a flooring expert. They'll get in touch to help you compare what you received, work out quantities, and put together a complete quote covering the floor, the trims and delivery. There's no obligation to order.

    One expert, one written quote for the floor, the trims and delivery to the property. Samples first if you want them.
