Vidar Flooring Vinyl Plank Flooring

The vinyl aisle is full of look-alikes at very different prices, and the difference usually comes down to two specs most shoppers never check.

In simple terms: Vidar Flooring is luxury vinyl plank, a wood-look floor that is built to take real-life traffic. It is SPC, Squarefoot Flooring carries it and our own crew installs it.

Decision line: Vidar is the choice when you want a thin, rock-solid, fully waterproof floor that hides an imperfect subfloor and goes just about anywhere.

The detail behind that: The core here is SPC, a stone-and-polymer composite that is denser and more rigid than standard vinyl. That rigidity is what lets it sit flat over an imperfect subfloor and hold its shape year-round, and it installs as a floating click floor. With an IIC rating around 77 and an STC around 75, it meets the sound ratings most Toronto and Mississauga condo boards require, which is often the deciding factor in a high-rise. Planks run up to 7 inches wide and 60 inches long, a wide-and-long format that reads like real wood. The surface is embossed in register, so the texture follows the printed grain and reads convincingly like wood. On the health side, it is FloorScore certified for indoor air quality. It is backed by a 20-year residential and 8-year Light commercial warranty. Colours in the range include Macaroon, Yukon, Naked Oak, Toffee Crunch, and Camel.

Our own crew installs Vidar Flooring across the Toronto and Mississauga area, Barrie, and Simcoe County, never subcontracted. A floating vinyl floor still needs a clean, flat base, so we level and prep first, then finish the trim and transitions. See our vinyl installation page.
