Our suppliers

Who we work with.

We carry a curated set of suppliers across four flooring categories — chosen for what each one does best, not for breadth of catalogue. Carpet pulls from ShawContract, Mohawk, and Brintons; tile from Daltile and Julian Tile; LVT from Tarkett; hardwood and laminate from ETM Distribution and Kentwood. When the right answer for your project sits outside what these suppliers offer, we'll tell you and point you to who does.

Carpet

ShawContract

ShawContract is the commercial division of Shaw Industries, separate from the residential Shaw lines carried in big-box retail. We use them for projects where the floor needs to hold up under commercial-grade traffic — strata corridors, hospitality refreshes, office tenant improvements — and for residential clients whose households punish carpet harder than typical residential ratings handle. Their modular carpet tile and high-spec resilient ranges are written for replaceability and acoustic performance in ways the consumer ranges aren't.

Mohawk

Mohawk is the world's largest flooring manufacturer, and the supplier whose range can cover most areas of a single residential project — broadloom and modular tile carpet through to engineered hardwood, laminate, and SolidTech vinyl. Buying through one large supplier across multiple categories means a single sample workflow, consistent warranty terms, and aligned delivery windows on whole-home work. The trade-off is catalogue size: Mohawk's range is large enough that the value is in narrowing it down, which is the work we do before walking you through samples.

Brintons

Brintons is a British woven carpet maker with a long hospitality and design pedigree — Axminster and Wilton constructions in custom colourways, designed for spaces that need a patterned floor doing real visual work. We pull from Brintons when a project calls for bespoke patterning at a quality level the standard broadloom catalogues can't reach: hotel corridors, lobbies, and high-end residential work where the carpet is a design element rather than a backdrop. Lead times reflect what custom weaving actually takes; we plan around them rather than against them.

Tile

Daltile

Daltile is one of the largest tile manufacturers in North America, with a porcelain and ceramic catalogue that covers most field-tile needs from residential bathrooms to commercial floors. We carry them for the breadth of finishes and formats — large-format porcelain, mosaics, slip-rated wet-area lines, and trim pieces that ship from the same range so a project doesn't get stuck waiting on a missing bullnose. Their spec sheets are thorough enough to write to without guesswork, which is what we want when a tile install crosses into commercial wear ratings.

Julian Tile

Julian Tile is a Western Canadian tile distributor with deep regional warehouse stock — the supplier we go to when a project's lead time is short and the field tile needs to be on site in days, not weeks. Their range pairs everyday porcelain field with feature lines (handmade-look ceramics, decorative mosaics, large-format slabs) that give a project visual range without needing to source feature tile from a separate supplier. Local stock means a quote we write today still matches what's on the floor when the install lands.

LVT

Tarkett

Tarkett is a global flooring manufacturer with a commercial-grade luxury vinyl tile and plank programme written for high-traffic environments — healthcare, education, multi-family corridors, hospitality. We pull from Tarkett when a project needs the wear-layer thickness, dimensional stability, and acoustic performance that residential LVT lines aren't built for. Johnsonite — Tarkett's resilient and commercial-rubber brand — is part of the same catalogue, which is how we cover stair treads, transition strips, and rubber bases without sourcing them separately.

Hardwood & Laminate

ETM Distribution

ETM Distribution is a Western Canadian flooring distributor that carries the engineered hardwood and laminate brands we specify most often, including Kentwood. We work through them for stock depth, freight reliability into the Lower Mainland, and the kind of trade-counter relationship that makes mid-project re-orders straightforward. The distributor layer matters on hardwood and laminate jobs more than people realise — getting the same dye lot in for a late add-on is the difference between a clean install and a visible patch.

Kentwood

Kentwood is a Canadian engineered hardwood brand based in BC, with a range of European oak and other species milled for wide planks, varied grades, and finishes designed for West Coast light. We carry Kentwood for residential whole-home work where the floor needs to read as a feature — the wider planks and matte oil-look finishes hold up to daily life better than glossier factory finishes do. Distribution runs through ETM, so lead times and re-orders move on the same trade-counter relationship.
