Richmond Flooring Aquasure Chic Water-Resistant Laminate

Near a kitchen sink or a back door in an Ontario home, the first thing a cheap floor does is swell at the seams.

In simple terms: Richmond Flooring Aquasure Chic is an 8mm AC4 rated water-resistant laminate, waterproof enough for kitchens, baths, and entries. We carry it and install it in-house.

Here is what you are actually buying. Aquasure Chic runs an 8mm board, the standard residential thickness, stable underfoot and compatible with most existing subfloors. It carries an AC4 wear rating, a step above standard that holds up to busy family households, hallways, and main floors. The core is high-density fibreboard, which resists denting and holds the locking profile better than the cheaper particleboard in budget laminate. It installs with a click-lock system, a glue-free floating install that keeps labour costs down and lets the floor be lifted and reused later. It has a water-resistant core, which lets it handle the spills and humidity that would swell a standard laminate at the joints. It is backed by a 25-year residential and 5-year commercial warranty.

That construction is what lets Aquasure Chic go where ordinary laminate cannot: kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and entries, and anywhere a spill or wet boot is part of daily life. The range includes tones such as Athena, Barbuda, Bushwick, Butternut, and Carlton.

Decision line: Aquasure Chic is the pick wherever water is a factor, kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and entries; keep a standard laminate for the dry rooms to save.

Our crew installs Richmond Flooring Aquasure Chic from subfloor prep to final trim, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County, never subcontracted. Get the base flat and the underlayment right and a click floor lasts; that is the focus of our laminate installation work.

A photo flattens the texture, so see Aquasure Chic in person before deciding. It is at both stores, you can contact us for current stock, and the vinyl vs laminate guide helps if you are still choosing a material.
