Laminate Flooring in Chilliwack

Laminate is a hard wearing, cost effective choice for dry rooms in Chilliwack homes: bedrooms, upstairs hallways, living rooms and rental suites above grade, where a tough surface matters most.

We keep laminate out of Chilliwack basements, bathrooms and laundry rooms, because its fibreboard core swells when it gets wet. In those rooms vinyl plank is the better pick, and we often quote both in the same house so each room gets the floor that suits it.

Where laminate makes sense

Laminate has a very tough wear surface and costs less than hardwood, so it suits bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and rentals upstairs. Its core is fibreboard, which swells if it gets wet, so it belongs in dry rooms only. For basements, bathrooms and laundry rooms, vinyl plank is the better choice.

Install details that matter

Laminate floats on an underlayment, so a flat subfloor is everything. We level the floor, use the right underlayment, keep the expansion gap at every wall, undercut door casings and fit proper transitions. Baseboard goes back on tight to the new floor.
