Sample this floor : Affluent
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.
Waterproof is the start of the decision, not the end
Vinyl and laminate are both waterproof here, and they live very differently — one is softer and quieter, the other harder and more scratch-resistant. Which suits a basement, a kitchen or a bathroom, and what the subfloor needs, is what every sample order's assigned flooring expert works through with you.
-
Vinyl or laminate for your room
Rigid-core vinyl for wet rooms and concrete; AC5 laminate where scratch resistance and a harder, more wood-like surface matter. Your expert will tell you which.
-
Comparing your samples
Grain, colour variation and finish against your cabinets, your trim and your light — not against a screen.
-
Subfloor and moisture
What a dry subfloor means, when a vapour barrier is needed, and what goes over concrete.
-
Measuring and quantities
What to measure, how, and how much overage your installer will need.
-
Underlay, trims and transitions
Matching mouldings, thresholds and underlayment to the floor you chose, so nothing is missing on install day.
-
One complete quote
The floor, the extras and the delivery in a single written quote, so there are no surprises later.
Your expert works with you by phone and email. We don't offer in-home design visits.

Questions before you order
What's the difference between waterproof and water-resistant?
A waterproof floor won't swell, warp or delaminate when water sits on it; a water-resistant one tolerates spills for a limited time. Every floor on this page carries a published waterproof rating. The subfloor underneath still needs to be dry, which is one of the things your expert will check with you.
Can laminate really be waterproof?
Yaletown is. It carries a published waterproof rating and an AC5 durability rating, the level specified for general commercial use. Older laminates were the reason people assume otherwise; the product page shows the current spec.
Vinyl or laminate — which should I choose?
Rigid-core vinyl is the safer choice for bathrooms, basements and anywhere water pools, and it goes over concrete. Waterproof laminate has a harder, more scratch-resistant surface and a more wood-like feel. Your samples will show you the difference underfoot; your expert will tell you which fits the room.
Can I use these in a bathroom or a basement?
Every vinyl line on this page is published as suitable for above, on and below grade. For a bathroom, tell your expert which floor you're considering and they'll confirm the installation guidance for that line.
Is there a waterproof real-wood option?
Yes — we carry waterproof rigid-core engineered hardwood, real oak and hickory over a waterproof core. It isn't on this page's shortlist but it is in the full range linked above, and your expert can add a sample of it to your order.
Are the samples really free?
Yes. You can choose five samples at no cost, and they ship 2nd day air.
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.
Can I get more than five samples?
Five is the free allowance. Your expert can arrange more, and larger XL samples are available to buy on several of these lines if you want to see a bigger piece before you commit.
Test it where the water goes
Five free samples on your bathroom floor, next to your kitchen sink, on your basement slab. Then a flooring expert turns the one you love into a complete plan.
