The Floor That Defines a Home

Since 1959, Atlas Rug & Design Centre has been helping Toronto homeowners choose and install hardwood floors they'll be proud of for generations. From a classic red oak strip floor to a rich engineered walnut in a custom stain, we've seen — and delivered — every combination imaginable. Our showroom at 978 Bathurst Street carries hundreds of hardwood options across species, grades, widths, and finishes.

What sets us apart is that we handle everything: consultation, product supply, subfloor preparation, and expert installation — all under one roof. Just beautiful floors, installed right the first time.

Hardwood Types We Carry

Solid Hardwood
Most Popular

Solid Hardwood

Milled from a single piece of wood, solid hardwood is the gold standard of flooring. It can be sanded and refinished multiple times over decades, making it a true lifetime investment. Best for above-grade living areas.

Engineered Hardwood
Best for Basements & Radiant Heat

Engineered Hardwood

A real hardwood veneer over a dimensionally-stable plywood core. Engineered hardwood handles humidity swings and radiant heat systems far better than solid wood, opening up rooms and climates that were previously off-limits.

Our Process

How Hardwood Installation Works

1

Consultation

We visit your home or welcome you to our Bathurst Street showroom to discuss your vision, lifestyle, and budget. We bring samples so you can see options in your own light.

2

Measure & Quote

Our team measures every room precisely and provides a detailed, written quote with no hidden charges — materials, labour, and removal of existing flooring all clearly itemised.

3

Product Selection

Choose from hundreds of hardwood options. Our experienced design consultants help you narrow down species, plank width, and finish to something you'll love for decades.

4

Installation Day

Our certified installers arrive on time, protect your home, and complete the installation with precision — including expansion gaps, transitions, and thresholds done properly.

5

Final Walkthrough

We do a room-by-room walkthrough with you before we leave. Any concerns are addressed on the spot, and we leave you with care instructions for your new floors.

Why Choose Atlas

Six Decades on Bathurst Street

65 Years of Toronto Flooring

Family-Owned, Not Franchised

Atlas is not a chain or a franchise. The Porzal family has owned and operated this showroom on Bathurst Street for over six decades. When you call us, you talk to us.

Professional Installation

Every installation is carried out by experienced, vetted flooring installers. We oversee every job from start to finish and stand behind the results — full stop.

Free In-Home Measurements

We come to you. Our team measures every room, checks your subfloor, and gives you a written quote with no hidden charges before any work begins.

Honest Advice

If refinishing will get you another 15 years out of your floors, we'll tell you that instead of selling you new ones. We'd rather lose a sale than lose your trust.
