Frequently Asked Questions
What types of flooring does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries hardwood, engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, solid hardwood, rubber, and the underlayment and accessories to go with them. The range covers everything from high-traffic commercial applications to residential renovations across a variety of budgets and aesthetics.
What's the difference between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood flooring?
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood and can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifespan. Engineered hardwood uses a real wood veneer over a plywood or HDF core, making it more dimensionally stable in conditions with humidity fluctuation, a practical advantage in many Canadian homes.
Is vinyl plank flooring suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Luxury vinyl plank is fully waterproof and one of the most practical choices for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. It handles moisture, temperature swings, and heavy foot traffic well while offering a realistic wood or stone appearance.
How do I choose between laminate and LVP flooring?
LVP is waterproof, making it the better choice for wet or moisture-prone areas. Laminate is water-resistant at best and should be avoided in bathrooms or basements with moisture risk. LVP also tends to feel softer underfoot. For dry living areas, both perform well and laminate often comes in at a lower price point for comparable aesthetics.
Do I need underlayment for all flooring types?
Most floating floors including laminate and LVP benefit from underlayment for sound absorption, moisture protection, and comfort underfoot. Some LVP products come with underlayment pre-attached. Solid hardwood glued or nailed to a subfloor typically does not use underlayment. Windsor Plywood carries underlayment options suited to each flooring type.
