Tosca Floors — Engineered Hardwood, Solid Oak, SPC Vinyl & Laminate

Tosca Floors sells through a short list of dealers and spends nothing on brand advertising, so the price on the box is mostly wood. We pass that through: every Tosca floor here is priced at a flat $1/sqft over what we pay, no tiered markups, no "sale price" games. That is why a 3/4" engineered European oak plank with a 2mm wear layer and a 35-year finish warranty lands at $4.99–$7.19/sqft when comparable name-brand planks sit at $6–$9.

The flooring itself is conventional and well made: 3/4" thick engineered hardwood (not the thin 3/8" boards most budget lines use), SPC vinyl with the underpad already attached, and 12.3mm AC4 laminate — the same thickness class as the premium laminate brands on our floor. What you give up is a glossy catalogue, not performance.

All 56 Tosca engineered planks share the same build: 3/4" total thickness, 2mm oak wear layer (3mm on the Aura Collection), random lengths up to 75", lightly wire-brushed, water-based low-sheen finish, 4-sided micro bevel, tongue-and-groove nail-down with glue assist, and a Limited 35-Year Finish Warranty. The difference between a $4.99 plank and a $7.19 plank is the grade of the oak on top:

• ABCD "Character" grade — $4.99–$5.19/sqft (Renaissance, Monarch): European White Oak that may show open knots, mineral streaks and character marks. If you like the rustic, lived-in look, this is the best engineered-hardwood price in our showroom. Start with Renaissance Roma or the 7 1/2" Monarch Prague Square.
• AB "Select & Better" grade — $5.59–$7.19/sqft (Prestige 6 1/2", Deluxe 6" and 7 1/2", Bespoke, Glory, Superior, Aura): no open knots, no heavy mineral, a clean and consistent face. The Deluxe Collection at $5.79 is the volume seller; Aura adds a thicker 3mm wear layer for $7.19.

Widths run 6", 6 1/2" and 7 1/2". Because every collection is 3/4" T&G, it nails down over plywood like solid hardwood and can be refinished at least once.

• Solid hardwood — 4 1/4" Northern Red Oak, $6.79–$6.99/sqft. 3/4" flat-sawn, Select & Better grade, random lengths 12"–90", semi-gloss water-based finish, 35-year finish warranty. Four pre-finished colours in stock (Butterscotch, Antwerp, Crown Saddle, Cherry Walnut) — a real solid-oak floor for less than most engineered name brands.
• SPC vinyl — 33 colours, $2.49–$3.59/sqft, all click-lock, all waterproof. 3300 Series 5.5mm with 1.5mm IXPE pad ($2.49); 18000 Series 7mm x 7 1/4" ($2.69); 2600 Series 7mm x 9" wide with a cork underpad ($3.09); 5600 Series 7.5mm with 5G drop-lock and cork pad ($2.99–$3.59). Matching T-moulding, reducers and flush stair nosing are available for every series.
• Laminate — 12.3mm AC4, $2.09/sqft. Embossed wood texture, click installation, 25-year residential warranty. 12.3mm is the thick end of the laminate market — the same class as the premium brands on our floor, at roughly half the price.

Tosca periodically clears discontinued colours and we buy the remaining pallets. Right now that means laminate from $1.49/sqft (down from $2.09 — Tosca 9904 and 14 more colours) and SPC vinyl from $1.79/sqft in the 3300 and 5600 series. These are first-quality boxes, not seconds; the only catch is that when the pallet is gone there is no reorder, so measure before you fall in love with one. Everything on sale is on our clearance page.

Stocked in Markham, with professional installation from $2.00/sqft and free in-home measurement across the GTA. Call (647) 428-1111 or stop by the showroom to see the grades side by side.
