Wooden flooring (laminate or engineered wood) uses a real or printed wood-core construction that gives a natural, warm finish. Vinyl flooring uses a fully synthetic PVC construction that is slightly softer underfoot. Vinyl is better suited for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-humidity rooms. Wooden flooring is preferred for bedrooms, drawing rooms, and offices where aesthetics are the priority. Both are available in wood-grain designs.

Yes, with the correct installation and care. Laminate and engineered wood flooring are not fully waterproof — they are designed for indoor climate-controlled environments. The key risk in Pakistan is humidity during monsoon and the sudden temperature shifts between seasons, which cause expansion and contraction. A proper moisture-barrier underlayment during installation, combined with immediate mopping of any spills, prevents swelling and gap formation.

Vinyl flooring price in Pakistan depends on the thickness (measured in mm), wear-layer rating, and quality, which could cost up to 200 PKR per square foot without skirting. Thicker boards with a higher wear layer last longer and cost more per square foot. We offer transparent pricing. The per-square-foot rate you receive includes the material, underlayment, and professional installation. There are no separate labour charges added after the quote.

In most cases, yes. Vinyl flooring can be installed as a floating floor directly over existing smooth tiles without adhesive, which makes it a faster and less disruptive option for renovations. Wooden laminate flooring also floats over existing surfaces provided the subfloor is level. If the existing tiles are cracked or uneven, levelling compound is applied first to prevent the new floor from developing hollow spots or squeaks over time.

A standard bedroom or drawing room (up to 300 sq ft) typically takes one working day to complete, including subfloor preparation, underlayment, and fitting. Larger open-plan spaces or rooms requiring levelling work may take two days. Our installation team works cleanly — furniture is moved, floor is fitted, and furniture is returned on the same visit.

Use a damp (never dripping wet) mop with a pH-neutral floor cleaner. Avoid steam mops — the heat and moisture penetrate the core layer over time. Never drag heavy furniture across the surface; use felt pads on all furniture legs. For wooden laminate, avoid standing water near skirting edges. Vinyl is more forgiving but the same care principles apply. These steps ensure a 10 to 15 year service life.
