1. Luxury Vinyl Flooring (SPC) – The Most Popular Choice

Luxury Vinyl Flooring, especially 5–6mm SPC, has become the top pick across Canada due to its:

• 100% waterproof construction

• Excellent durability in high-traffic areas

• Realistic wood and stone visuals

• Affordable price point

• Easy click-lock installation

This makes SPC vinyl ideal for condos, basements, kitchens, rentals, and full-home updates.

At First Pro Home Reno Supplies, vinyl flooring remains one of our best sellers because of its durability and budget-friendly pricing.

2. Laminate Flooring – Great Value for the Look of Hardwood

Laminate remains a strong Canadian favourite for homeowners seeking a hardwood look without the hardwood cost.

Pros:

• Highly scratch-resistant

• Affordable

• Many colours and textures

• Suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways

Cons:

• Not fully waterproof (avoid full bathrooms)

Our store carries 12mm laminate, which offers better soundproofing and longevity.

3. Porcelain Tile – The Best for Wet Areas

For bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms, and entryways, porcelain tile continues to be the most durable flooring option.

Why Canadians choose porcelain:

• Fully waterproof

• Extremely durable

• Heat-friendly (works well with in-floor heating)

• Modern 12"x24" and 24"x24" designs

It's the go-to choice for long-term renovations where durability is a top priority.

4. Engineered Hardwood – Premium Look with Canadian Stability

Engineered hardwood gives homeowners the beauty of real wood with better stability in Canada’s fluctuating temperatures and humidity.

Best for:

• Living rooms

• Dining rooms

• Mid- to high-budget renovations

Not ideal:

• Basements

• Wet rooms

5. Carpet – Still Preferred for Comfort

While not as dominant as before, carpet remains a popular option for:

• Bedrooms

• Basements

• Home theatres

It’s warm, quiet, and budget-friendly — but requires more maintenance than hard surfaces.
