Older inner-city homes have often been renovated more than once, so what is under your floor can surprise you. Expect the installer to check for uneven subfloors, old adhesive layers and moisture before confirming the final price.

What should I check before laying LVP in a Kensington infill home?
Check the subfloor for flatness across the long open areas, confirm the plank direction, and plan the transitions at stairs and between levels.
Can LVP be installed in a Calgary basement?
Yes. LVP is a popular basement floor because it tolerates moisture better than hardwood or laminate. The concrete slab should be flat and tested for moisture first, and any active water problem should be fixed before flooring goes down.
What warranty comes with LVP?
Manufacturer warranties vary widely and usually depend on correct installation and care. Workmanship is a separate matter: ask whoever installs your floor what their workmanship warranty covers, and get it in writing.
What is LVP flooring?
LVP stands for luxury vinyl plank. It is a multi-layer vinyl floor made to look like wood planks. Most LVP has a core layer, a printed design layer and a clear wear layer on top, and it comes as click-together floating planks or as glue-down planks.
