Engineering the Future of Floors: A Deep Dive into the TORLYS Difference
When you walk into a Jordan’s Flooring showroom—whether it’s our flagship on West Broadway or our busy outlets in Langley or Red Deer—you are surrounded by the best the world has to offer.
One name consistently rises to the top for Western Canadian homeowners: TORLYS. Known as “The Smart Floor,” TORLYS has revolutionized the industry with a focus on innovation, sustainability, and—most importantly for our climate—unmatched stability.
The Uniclic® Edge: Seamless Strength
The biggest enemy of a floor in Edmonton or Calgary is the extreme shift in seasonal humidity. Traditional floors can gap or peak as they expand and contract.
TORLYS solves this with the Uniclic® joint technology.
The Benefit: This is arguably the strongest gap-resistant joint in the world. It creates a constant tension that keeps your planks locked tight.
The Result: No more unsightly gaps in your Kamloops living room during a dry winter, and no more “buckling” during a humid Lower Mainland summer.
A Commitment to “Smarter” Sustainability
At Jordan’s, we’ve been stewards of the Canadian home since 1929, so we value brands that think long-term. TORLYS floors are designed with a “cradle-to-cradle” philosophy.
Re-use and Re-locate: Many TORLYS floors are 100% recyclable and even reusable. Because of the glue-less Uniclic® system, you can actually disassemble your floor and move it to another room or a new home.
The Cork Advantage: Many TORLYS lines (like their legendary laminate and hardwood) feature a built-in cork underlay. Cork is a renewable resource that provides natural antimicrobial protection, acoustic dampening, and a warmer feel underfoot.
Innovation Across Every Surface
TORLYS doesn’t just do one thing well; they apply their “smart” engineering across every flooring category you’ll find in our Victoria, Nanaimo, or Kelowna showrooms:
Smart Laminate: Their NatureTek line offers incredible waterproof protection and a “scratch-guard” finish that is perfect for active families with pets in Abbotsford.
Smart Hardwood: Imagine the beauty of authentic Oak or Walnut combined with a core that is 2x harder than solid wood. This is hardwood built for the realities of modern life.
Smart Vinyl (RigidTile): For homeowners in Richmond or Burnaby looking for the look of stone or tile without the cold, hard feel, TORLYS RigidTile offers a warm, indentation-resistant solution.
The TORLYS Bulldog™: The Ultimate Repair Tool
Perhaps the most unique feature of a TORLYS floor is the Bulldog™ Easy Plank Replacer.
Usually, if you damage a plank in the middle of your room, you have to tear up the entire floor from the wall to get to it. With the Bulldog tool (available through Jordan’s Flooring), we can pop out a single damaged plank and replace it in minutes without moving furniture or pulling up baseboards. It is the ultimate peace of mind for homeowners in Coquitlam and South Surrey.
