Vinyl Flooring — Waterproof, Durable & Beautiful for Every Room
Vinyl flooring has evolved dramatically from its budget origins into a premium, design-forward flooring solution. Today's luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) offer waterproof performance, stunningly realistic wood and stone looks, and exceptional durability — all at a price point that makes premium flooring accessible for every room. At Ace Premium Tile & Stone in Richmond, we carry a curated selection of SPC and WPC luxury vinyl from trusted manufacturers.
Types of Vinyl Flooring
SPC Luxury Vinyl Plank (Rigid Core)
Stone polymer composite core provides exceptional dent resistance and dimensional stability. The densest, most durable vinyl option — ideal for commercial spaces and high-traffic residential areas.
WPC Luxury Vinyl Plank (Comfort Core)
Wood polymer composite core is softer and quieter underfoot than SPC. Built-in acoustic properties reduce sound transmission — perfect for condos, upper floors, and bedrooms.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)
Square-format vinyl tiles that replicate stone, marble, concrete, and terrazzo looks. Create stunning floors that mimic tile without the cold, hard feel and grout maintenance.
Glue-Down Vinyl
Professional-grade vinyl that adheres directly to the subfloor for the thinnest possible profile and most stable installation. Preferred for commercial projects and renovations where floor height is a constraint.
Why Vinyl Flooring Is the Fastest-Growing Category
Luxury vinyl is the fastest-growing flooring category in North America because it solves real problems that other materials can't. It's 100% waterproof — not water-resistant, waterproof. Spills, pet accidents, even standing water won't damage it. It's warm and comfortable underfoot (unlike tile), quiet (unlike laminate), and won't scratch or dent easily (unlike hardwood). Click-lock installation means no glue, no mess, and most rooms can be completed in hours. For Richmond and Greater Vancouver's coastal climate with high humidity, vinyl is the practical choice that doesn't sacrifice aesthetics.
Best Applications for Vinyl Flooring
Kitchens
The most popular room for LVP. Waterproof, comfortable for standing while cooking, and easy to clean. Wood-look vinyl creates a warm kitchen aesthetic without moisture worries.
Bathrooms & Laundry Rooms
Fully waterproof with no expansion from humidity — vinyl handles bathrooms better than laminate or hardwood. Stone-look LVT gives you the tile aesthetic without cold feet.
Basements
The #1 choice for below-grade installations. Vinyl doesn't react to concrete moisture, doesn't grow mold, and provides a warm surface over cold concrete subfloors.
Whole-Home Installations
Run a single vinyl floor seamlessly through every room — living areas, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms — for a unified look without material transitions.
