If you’re exploring flooring options, you’ve likely heard about vinyl, but how does it differ from laminate? In brief: vinyl flooring is a resilient, waterproof or water-resistant synthetic surface that typically features a printed design layer and a durable wear layer applied over a solid backing. Laminate flooring, by contrast, is built on a fibreboard core with a photographic layer under a clear protective surface. While appealing, laminate generally lacks the same water-resistance and durability features that many modern vinyl floors offer.
Below, we break down our range of vinyl flooring, highlight its benefits, explain why homeowners and commercial clients choose it, and show how Ace Premium Tile & Stone brings expertise, selection and service to Richmond, Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
At Ace Premium Tile & Stone, we take pride in offering a diverse range of vinyl flooring products designed to meet any aesthetic or performance need. Our vinyl selection combines the appearance of natural materials, such as stone slabs and hardwood, with the practicality of modern engineering. All our products are available in waterproof or water-resistant variations, ensuring durability and protection for every space.
Mimicking the look and texture of natural hardwood, LVP offers incredible realism and warmth. Each plank features detailed grain patterns and varied tones for a natural finish. It’s an ideal choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where you want the beauty of wood without the upkeep.
Designed to replicate the appearance of marble slabs, granite slabs, and porcelain slabs, LVT delivers a luxurious, stone-inspired feel with outstanding durability. It’s perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces where moisture and foot traffic are constant.
Combining a stone-polymer or wood-polymer core, rigid-core vinyl flooring is engineered for maximum strength and stability. It resists dents, scratches, and temperature changes, making it ideal for basements, offices, and open-concept homes across Richmond and Vancouver.
An affordable and seamless option for large areas, sheet vinyl offers continuous protection against spills and moisture. It’s easy to clean and maintain, and its smooth surface prevents dirt from accumulating—perfect for kitchens, laundry rooms, and rental units.
Vinyl flooring combines modern design with exceptional performance. It’s waterproof, scratch-resistant, and highly comfortable underfoot, making it a smart investment for families, pet owners, and busy households.
Some key benefits include:
Waterproof construction: Safe for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
Durability: Handles high traffic areas with ease.
Comfort: Softer and warmer underfoot compared to tile or hardwood.
Design versatility: Mimics natural materials like wood, marble, or stone slabs.
Low maintenance: Simple sweeping and occasional mopping keep it looking new.
Pro Tip: For an upscale finish, pair vinyl flooring with porcelain panels or stone slabs on walls or backsplashes to create a cohesive and luxurious space.
Vinyl flooring is versatile enough to suit any style, space, or budget. It’s a smart choice because:
Vinyl flooring is built to last. Its tough wear layer resists scratches, dents, and stains, making it ideal for busy homes and high-traffic commercial spaces. It maintains its look and structure even under daily use.
Vinyl’s waterproof surface makes it perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Spills wipe up easily, and routine sweeping or mopping keeps it clean—no sealing, waxing, or refinishing required.
Available in wood, marble, and stone-look designs, vinyl flooring suits any space or décor style. Its wide range of colours, patterns, and finishes lets you create everything from classic to contemporary looks.
Vinyl offers a softer, warmer feel underfoot compared to tile or stone slabs. It also helps absorb sound, creating a more peaceful environment in multi-level homes, condos, or offices.
With proper installation and simple routine care, vinyl flooring will maintain its beauty, strength, and waterproof protection for many years to come.
