Laminate & Vinyl Flooring — Durable, Waterproof & Beautiful

Our laminate and vinyl flooring collections offer beautiful, durable alternatives to traditional hardwood and tile. With advanced printing technology, today's laminate and luxury vinyl floors are virtually indistinguishable from real wood or stone — yet they're waterproof, scratch-resistant, and significantly more affordable. At Ace Premium Tile & Stone, serving Richmond and Greater Vancouver since 2008, we carry a curated selection of premium laminate and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring from trusted European and North American manufacturers.

Types of Laminate & Vinyl Flooring We Carry

Laminate Flooring

Multi-layer engineered flooring with a high-resolution photographic surface over a dense fibreboard core. Available in wood-look and stone-look finishes with click-lock installation for fast, glue-free fitting. AC3–AC5 rated for residential and commercial traffic.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

Waterproof vinyl planks with realistic embossed wood-grain textures. Rigid SPC (stone polymer composite) or WPC (wood polymer composite) cores provide dimensional stability and underfoot comfort. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)

Waterproof vinyl in tile formats replicating stone, marble, and concrete looks. Perfect for open-plan living areas, commercial lobbies, and any space where you want tile aesthetics with warm, quiet underfoot feel.

Waterproof Laminate

Next-generation laminate with sealed edges and waterproof cores, bridging the gap between traditional laminate affordability and LVP water resistance. Suitable for kitchens and laundry rooms.

Why Choose Laminate or Vinyl Flooring?

Laminate and vinyl flooring deliver the look of hardwood or natural stone at a fraction of the cost, with superior durability for busy households. They resist scratches, stains, and moisture, making them ideal for families with children and pets. Installation is fast with click-lock systems — most rooms can be completed in a single day. Maintenance is simple: sweep and damp-mop, no sealing or refinishing required. In Richmond's humid coastal climate, waterproof LVP is especially popular because it handles moisture, spills, and temperature changes without warping or swelling.

Laminate vs. Vinyl — Which Is Right for Your Project?

Choose Laminate If...

You want the most realistic wood look at the lowest cost, your rooms are dry (living rooms, bedrooms, hallways), and you prefer a harder, more rigid feel underfoot.

Choose Luxury Vinyl If...

You need waterproof performance (kitchens, bathrooms, basements), you want softer and quieter underfoot feel, or you need flooring that can handle temperature swings like in condos and sunrooms.
