Our team of experts has years of experience in the industry and can help you choose the perfect flooring for your space.
Laminate flooring has grown in popularity, much in part due to its ease of maintenance, affordability, and decorative appearance. Designer laminates are used in commercial and residential spaces to provide a captivating environment. First developed and introduced by the brand Pergo in the 1970s, this type of flooring is relatively new. There are many design and style options offered in Toronto by The Floor Shop.
Laminate flooring is a synthetic flooring product made up of multiple layers that are fused together. The core layer is made of high-density fiberboard (HDF) and is covered with a printed design layer, which mimics the look of hardwood, stone, or tile. A clear wear layer protects the design layer from wear and tear, making it a durable flooring option.
Laminate flooring has become an increasingly popular choice for homeowners and businesses alike. It is a versatile and cost-effective solution that offers a range of benefits. At The Floor Shop, we offer a wide variety of laminate flooring options to suit any style and budget.

Laminate Flooring Installation Process
- Initial Consultation
We’ll visit your home or business to discuss your needs, take measurements, and provide a quote for the job.
- Preparation
On installation day, our team will remove any existing flooring and clean the subfloor.
- Underlayment
We’ll install a foam or cork underlayment over the subfloor to provide cushioning and reduce noise in condos.
- Installation
We’ll start by laying the first row of planks along the longest wall in the room, with the tongue side facing the wall. Then, we’ll install subsequent rows of planks by locking the tongue and groove together and tapping them into place with a tapping block. We’ll cut planks to fit around obstacles like doorways, heating vents, or any other irregular shapes.
- Finishing & Clean-Up
Finally, we’ll clean up any debris and remove any unused materials.
