Built for Markham homes
Markham asks two different flooring questions. In the new builds of Cornell, Wismer, Cathedraltown, and Swan Lake, it’s open-concept main floors that want one continuous surface — large-format rectified porcelain, wood-look or stone-look, running kitchen to living room with hairline grout joints. In Unionville’s heritage streets and the older pockets of Markham Village, it’s kitchens and basements that need to survive real life without disturbing the home’s character. One product family answers both: rigid waterproof flooring — SPC vinyl, ProTech hybrid, or porcelain tile. No swelling, no warping, no buckling — a spill becomes a mop-up, not a replacement.
For the durability end of the scale, our Balance ProTech™ hybrid is 3× more scratch-resistant than standard vinyl, PVC-free, and 100% waterproof at $2.99/sq ft — the floor we recommend when the household runs at full speed.
Porcelain Tile for Markham’s New Builds
Markham’s newer subdivisions — Cornell, Wismer, Cathedraltown, and Swan Lake — feature open-concept layouts that pair beautifully with contemporary porcelain tile. Large-format rectified tile in concrete-look, stone-look, and wood-look finishes are among our most popular choices for Markham’s new-build market. We carry sizes from 12×24 up to 32×32 and beyond.
- Concrete-Look Porcelain — industrial-modern aesthetic for open-concept Markham homes
- Stone-Look Porcelain — natural warmth without the maintenance of real stone
- Wood-Look Porcelain Plank — the look of wood with the durability of tile
Subway Tile for Markham Kitchens & Bathrooms
Subway tile is a staple of Markham’s kitchen and bathroom renovations — from classic white 3×6 in Unionville character homes to larger-format matte options in Markham’s newer builds. We carry a wide range of subway tile sizes, colours, and finishes to suit every Markham aesthetic.
- Classic 3×6 Subway Tile — timeless and versatile for Unionville-style kitchens and bathrooms
- 4×8 & 4×12 Subway Tile — larger format for a more contemporary look in new builds
- Coloured & Textured Subway Tile — add personality to kitchen backsplashes and bathroom feature walls
Mosaic Tile for Markham Bathrooms & Backsplashes
Mosaic tile adds texture, colour, and artistry to Markham’s kitchen and bathroom renovations. Our mosaic collection includes glass mosaic, porcelain mosaic, and natural stone-look mosaic in sheet format — ideal for shower floors, feature walls, bathroom niches, and backsplash accents.
- Glass Mosaic — luminous accents for shower niches and kitchen backsplashes
- Porcelain Mosaic — durable and low-maintenance for shower floors and wet areas
- Herringbone & Penny Round Mosaic — pattern options for a designer finish
SPC Vinyl Plank for Markham Basements & Family Spaces
For Markham’s family-oriented homes, SPC vinyl plank is the practical choice for basements, playrooms, and high-traffic areas. It’s 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, and available in stone and tile-look finishes that complement the porcelain tile used throughout the rest of the home.
- SPC Vinyl Plank — waterproof and durable for Markham basements and family rooms
- Vinyl Tile — stone-look vinyl for utility areas and mudrooms
