Laminate Flooring in Yarrow

Laminate is a good value choice for dry upstairs rooms in Yarrow homes and Columbia Valley houses that do not see wet gear coming through.

Near the lake and in mudrooms and basements we recommend vinyl plank instead, because laminate swells if it gets wet. We are happy to look at each room and tell you which floor 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.
