What can change your final price
Even similar projects can end with different budgets. These are the factors that most often push costs up or down.
Type of plastic flooring
The price varies significantly depending on whether it's vinyl, linoleum, PVC, or epoxy resin flooring. High-end imported materials can double the cost compared to standard options.
Area to be covered
The cost per square meter decreases as the total surface area increases. Small jobs (less than 20 m²) typically have a higher unit price than large surfaces.
Condition and preparation of the subfloor
If the existing floor requires repair, leveling, or prior removal, these additional works significantly increase the final budget.
Installation complexity
The presence of obstacles, irregular shapes, level changes, or multiple access points increases labor hours and installation costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PVC, vinyl, SPC, and WPC flooring?
Traditional PVC flooring is the most economical and flexible. Vinyl flooring includes higher-quality decorative layers. SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) has a mineral base and is more rigid, resistant, and durable, ideal for high-traffic areas. WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) includes wood fibers and offers greater comfort and acoustic insulation. The choice depends on your budget, intended use, and aesthetic preferences.
How long does correctly installed plastic flooring last?
Standard quality PVC flooring lasts between 10 and 15 years with proper maintenance. High-end SPC or WPC flooring can last 20 years or more. Durability depends on the material thickness, wear layer, installation quality, and maintenance level. Flooring in low-traffic spaces lasts longer than in high-use commercial areas.
Is it necessary to prepare the base before installing plastic flooring?
Yes, properly preparing the base is essential. The existing flooring must be clean, dry, smooth, and free of irregularities greater than 3 mm. If there are cracks, moisture, or significant unevenness, it must be repaired beforehand with self-leveling mortar or resin. A poorly prepared base will compromise the quality of the final work and the floor's durability. This preparation usually adds 200-400 € to the budget depending on complexity.
What maintenance does plastic flooring require?
Plastic flooring is very easy to maintain. Simply sweep regularly to remove dust and sand. To clean, use a damp cloth with warm water and mild neutral detergent. Avoid acidic, alkaline, or abrasive products that can damage the surface. Clean spills immediately. Use protectors on furniture legs to avoid marks. Do not use polishers or high-pressure steam machines. With these basic care steps, your floor will maintain its like-new appearance for years.
Can I install plastic flooring in humid areas like bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes, plastic flooring is excellent for bathrooms and kitchens due to its water resistance. However, it is important that the installation is correct and that joints and profiles are properly sealed to prevent water from seeping into the base. High-end SPC or WPC flooring offers greater protection against moisture than standard PVC. Avoid leaving standing water for prolonged periods. In very humid bathrooms, make sure you have good ventilation to prevent condensation problems.
