Vidar Design Flooring in Toronto, Mississauga, and Barrie

Engineered hardwood is where quality quietly varies the most: a lot of it is a paper-thin veneer over filler that can never be refinished. Vidar Design Flooring sits at the opposite end of that scale, and if you are searching for it in the GTA, the real question is where to see the actual boards and buy them near you.

In simple terms: Vidar is an engineered hardwood specialist. Its floors use a thick dry-sawn real-wood wear layer over a multilayer plywood core at a full 3/4-inch thickness, in oak, ash, and walnut, and the brand also makes waterproof SPC and laminate. Squarefoot Flooring carries the Vidar range across two stores, with an in-house crew to install it.

Vidar engineered hardwood

This is the heart of the line, and the range is deep. The American white oak collections run in 6-inch, 7-inch, and wide 9-inch planks, plus a 5-inch click floor with a Välinge locking system for floating installs, 6-inch and 7-inch Bona-finished options, and a reactive-stain finish for deeper tones. For other species there is European white oak, European white ash in a 7-1/2-inch plank, rich American black walnut, and American hickory. Wear layers run from 2mm up to 4mm depending on the line, all on a 3/4-inch core that stays stable through Ontario's humidity swings.

Herringbone, chevron, and parquet

For a patterned floor, Vidar makes white oak herringbone and chevron and black walnut herringbone and chevron in a 5-inch format, glue-down for a tight, traditional layout.

Vidar waterproof floors

Where water rules out hardwood, Vidar's SPC luxury vinyl is a rigid 6mm core with a 2mm acoustic backing rated IIC 77 and STC 75 for quiet underfoot, and its 72-hour water-resistant laminate carries an AC5 commercial wear rating. Both work in kitchens, basements, and over radiant heat. Compare them against the wider vinyl plank and laminate ranges.

Why Vidar holds up

The reason to trust the line is on the spec sheet, not the showroom lighting. Every Vidar hardwood floor is FloorScore, CARB II, and FSC certified, carries a 35-year finish warranty and a lifetime structural warranty, and is compatible with hydronic radiant heat. The dry-sawn wear layer, rather than a thin rotary-peeled veneer, is what lets these floors be sanded and refinished years down the road.

Which Vidar floor suits your room

For main floors and living areas you plan to keep for decades, the 7-inch and 9-inch oak and the black walnut are the picks, with the thicker 3mm and 4mm wear layers. For a quicker floating install or a rental, the 5-inch click oak goes down without nails. For kitchens, basements, and bathrooms, the SPC or the water-resistant laminate is the safer call. Our team can pull samples of each at the store and match the right floor to your room and your subfloor.

Vidar sits alongside the rest of our engineered hardwood and solid hardwood ranges. When you are ready to install, our in-house crews handle hardwood, vinyl, and laminate installation across Toronto, Mississauga, and Barrie, residential and commercial, with no subcontracting, and you can see hardwood and vinyl floors we have installed for real Ontario homes in our recent projects. Vidar's engineered and click floors also work over in-floor heating.
