As a typical indicative range in 2026, vinyl flooring in Singapore costs about S$5 to S$13 per square foot installed, which works out to roughly S$2,700 to S$4,000 for a 3-room HDB and S$5,100 to S$7,650 for a 5-room HDB. The final figure depends on plank thickness, wear layer, installation method and how much subfloor prep your home needs, so always confirm with a free site visit.
Vinyl is now the default flooring choice for most Singapore homes because it is waterproof, comfortable underfoot and far kinder to the wallet than timber or large-format tiles. But “vinyl flooring price” hides a wide spread, and the cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest floor over ten years. This guide breaks down the real numbers so you can budget with confidence and spot when a quote is padded.
Quick answer: vinyl flooring price in Singapore
For installed vinyl flooring (supply plus professional fitting), most Singapore homeowners in 2026 pay somewhere between S$5 and S$13 per square foot. Entry-level LVT sits at the lower end, premium SPC with a thick wear layer sits at the upper end. These are indicative ranges, not fixed quotes — your actual price moves with the product grade and the condition of your existing floor.
Price per square foot: LVT vs SPC, supply-only vs installed
The two vinyl families we install at DS Flooring are LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile, flexible PVC core) and SPC (Stone Plastic Composite, rigid core). Supply-only means just the material delivered; supply plus install includes our in-house team laying it, trimming, and finishing edges. The table below shows typical indicative ranges in Singapore dollars.
| Vinyl type | Supply only (per sqft) | Supply + install (per sqft) | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry LVT (2–3 mm) | ~S$2.50–4.50 | ~S$5–8 | Bedrooms, study rooms, light use |
| Premium LVT (4–5 mm) | ~S$4–6.50 | ~S$7–11 | Living areas, condos, comfort underfoot |
| Standard SPC (4 mm) | ~S$3.50–6 | ~S$6.50–10 | Whole-home HDB, kitchens, rentals |
| Premium SPC (5–6 mm) | ~S$5–8 | ~S$9–13 | Heavy traffic, retail, landed homes |
All figures above are indicative and move with the brand, wear-layer thickness and current stock. Supply-only sounds cheaper, but once you add a separate installer, underlay and skirting work, the all-in figure usually lands close to a transparent supply-plus-install quote — without the risk of two parties blaming each other if something goes wrong. For a deeper look at which core suits your flat, see our guide on SPC vs LVT vinyl for HDB homes.
Whole-home vinyl flooring cost by unit type
Most homeowners care less about per-square-foot maths and more about the total. The table below gives indicative whole-home ranges for fully installed vinyl across the main living spaces. Bedrooms, kitchens and corridors are included in typical layouts; bomb shelters, balconies and yards are usually quoted separately.
| Home type | Indicative installed cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 3-room HDB | ~S$2,700–4,000 | Compact layout, fastest to complete |
| 4-room HDB | ~S$3,900–5,850 | The most common Singapore flat size |
| 5-room HDB / executive | ~S$5,100–7,650 | Larger living-dining and extra bedroom |
| Condominium | Higher, scales with floor area | Premium LVT common; check MCST rules |
| Landed home | Highest, scales with floor area | Multi-storey, often phased by level |
Condo and landed prices are not fixed because floor area varies so widely — a one-bedroom condo can cost less than a 4-room HDB, while a maisonette or terrace runs well above a 5-room. The only accurate number comes from measuring your actual space, which is exactly what a free site visit gives you.
What actually drives the price
Two quotes for “vinyl flooring” can differ by thousands. Here is where the money really goes:
- Plank thickness: a 5–6 mm plank costs more than a 2–3 mm plank, feels more solid underfoot and tolerates an uneven subfloor better.
- Wear layer: this is the clear protective top film, measured in mils or millimetres. A 0.3 mm (12 mil) layer suits bedrooms; a 0.5 mm (20 mil) layer resists scratches in high-traffic and commercial areas. It matters more for longevity than total thickness.
- Installation method: click-lock floating floors are quicker to fit than glue-down, but glue-down can be better for very large or commercial spaces. Labour differs accordingly.
- Subfloor prep: if your existing screed is uneven, self-levelling compound adds material, a drying day and cost. Skirting removal and reinstatement, and old-floor disposal, also add up.
- Edge and trim work: doorways, transition strips, T-mouldings and irregular room shapes all add labour that a flat per-sqft figure can hide.
Overlay vs hacking: where you can save
One of the biggest savings in any vinyl project is choosing to lay vinyl over your existing tiles (an overlay) instead of hacking the old floor out first. Because vinyl is thin and can sit on a sound, level tiled surface, overlay skips the dusty, noisy and expensive hacking-and-disposal stage.
| Approach | What happens | Indicative impact |
|---|---|---|
| Overlay on existing tiles | Vinyl laid on top of sound, level tiles | Can save ~S$2,000–4,500 vs hacking |
| Hack and replace | Old floor removed, disposed, new screed if needed | Higher cost, more dust, longer timeline |
Overlay is not always possible — if tiles are hollow, cracked, severely uneven or you need to preserve floor height at doorways, hacking may be unavoidable. A site visit tells us which route your home can take, and the saving is real when overlay is suitable.

FAQ
How much does it cost to vinyl a 4-room HDB in Singapore?
As an indicative range, fully installed vinyl for a 4-room HDB is roughly S$3,900 to S$5,850 in 2026, depending on the plank grade and how much subfloor prep is needed. Confirm your exact figure with a free site visit.
Is vinyl flooring cheaper than tiles or laminate?
Vinyl is usually cheaper to install than large-format tiles (no heavy hacking, no tiling labour) and comparable to or cheaper than quality laminate, while being fully waterproof — an advantage laminate does not share in Singapore’s humidity.
Why are some vinyl flooring quotes so much cheaper?
A very low quote often uses a thin wear layer, excludes subfloor levelling or skirting work, or is supply-only. Always check the wear-layer spec and what the price includes before comparing — the cheapest quote can become the most expensive floor if it wears out early.
How long does vinyl flooring last?
Quality vinyl typically lasts around 10 to 20 years in a home, depending on the wear layer and traffic. A thicker wear layer and proper maintenance push it toward the upper end.
