Flooring
Our flooring product portfolio is selected according to a number of rigorous criteria, including resistance to the North American climate, compliance with manufacturing standards and quality control.
Our team also keeps abreast of market trends by visiting flooring trade shows around the world.
Our partnerships with a number of suppliers enable us to offer a varied and exclusive range of products.
LAMINATE
Laminate flooring is manufactured using a hot-pressing technique, which involves pressing several layers of material together under high pressure.
The top layer is usually a printed decorative film that imitates the appearance of wood, stone or other materials. This layer is then covered with a transparent protective coating that protects the printed decor and offers resistance to wear and water.
The lower layers of laminate flooring can be made from a variety of materials, such as wood particles, wood fibers or melamine fibers. These lower layers are generally used to give the floor rigidity and stability, as well as to improve thermal and acoustic insulation properties.

Vinyl
Vinyl floors are manufactured using synthetic materials such as PVC, which are mixed with pigments to create colors and patterns that mimic natural materials such as wood, stone and tile. They are usually manufactured in several layers, comprising a wear layer on the surface to resist abrasion, an image layer to give a realistic look, and a backing layer underneath to give stability to the flooring.
There are several types of vinyl flooring, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Sheet vinyl floors are often used in kitchens and bathrooms because they are resistant to water and everyday damage.

High-traffic areas
CERAMIC AND PORCELAIN
The main difference between ceramic and porcelain flooring lies in their composition and physical properties. Although they are both ceramic tiles, their manufacturing process, density and water absorption vary.
Ceramic flooring is made from high-temperature-fired clay and is then coated with a colored glaze to make it waterproof and stain-resistant. It has a relatively low density and high water absorption, making it less suitable for damp, high-traffic areas.
Porcelain flooring is made from a finer clay and fired at much higher temperatures than ceramic. This high firing temperature gives porcelain a higher density and lower water absorption than ceramic. Porcelain is therefore more resistant to scratches, bumps and stains, and is better suited to high-traffic and wet areas.
In terms of cost, porcelain flooring is generally more expensive than ceramic flooring due to its more complex manufacture and superior physical properties. However, cost can vary according to tile quality, size and design.

Hardwood
A hardwood floor is a type of flooring made from solid wood, generally from deciduous tree species such as oak, maple or birch. Wood planks are generally cut to standard dimensions, then dried and planed to produce a smooth, uniform surface. Hardwood floors are available in a variety of colors, grains and finishes, and can be customized to suit any interior design style.

Membranes
Different types of membranes are available to complete the installation of floors. Whether for laminate, vinyl, engineered or hardwood floors, membranes improve floor support and offer the best properties.
Soundproofing membranes create a more peaceful atmosphere by reducing the diffusion of noise to neighbors and lower floors.
Membranes with a vapour barrier will protect your floors against humidity for greater comfort.
