Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring Singapore: Prices, Brands & Where to Buy

Search luxury vinyl plank flooring in Singapore and you will find dozens of suppliers, hundreds of products, and a confusing patchwork of names: LVP, LVT, SPC plank, hybrid plank, rigid core plank. Most of them refer to the same general thing, a multi-layer vinyl plank that mimics wood, but the specs and prices differ in ways that matter once the floor is in your home.

This guide gives you a no-fluff overview: what LVP actually is, how prices break down in 2026, which brands are worth considering, and what to ask before you commit. By the end, you should be able to walk into any showroom and tell premium from posturing in the first ten minutes.

LVP vs LVT, What’s the Difference?

LVP, Luxury Vinyl Plank, is LVT in plank format. Same multi-layer construction, same materials, same engineering principles. The format simply mimics a long wood board rather than a square stone tile. Both are subsets of the broader LVT category.

Singapore suppliers use the terms loosely. Most use LVT as an umbrella that includes LVP. Some use LVP and LVT to differentiate between wood-look and stone-look products. When you read a supplier’s catalogue, focus on the spec sheet, not the label. The wear layer mil, the core type, and the IXPE backing are what determine quality, not whether the product is called LVP or LVT.

Plank dimensions vary across products. A standard plank is 7 inches wide and 48 inches long. Wider planks (9 inches) and longer planks (60 inches) are increasingly popular in Singapore, particularly in landed homes and larger condos where the wider boards make rooms feel bigger. Wider planks usually cost 10-15% more per square foot but produce a more luxurious result in spacious rooms.

For HDB flats, standard 7-inch planks are usually the right choice, they keep the proportion right in smaller rooms and align cleanly with most furniture. Wider planks in a 3-room HDB can actually look out of scale.

Luxury Vinyl Plank Price in Singapore

LVP pricing in 2026 follows the same three-tier structure as broader LVT, with a slight premium for wood-look décor films because the print fidelity matters more for wood (homeowners notice fake wood faster than fake stone).

For a 4-room HDB flat (~900 sqft), a mid-tier LVP installation typically lands in the S$5,000 to S$7,500 range, including matching skirting and IXPE underlay. Hacking adds S$1,500 to S$3,000.

When you compare LVP quotes, watch out for two common tricks. First, some quotes include only labour and material per square foot but omit skirting, transition strips, or doorway trims, these can add 8-12% to the final bill. Second, quotes labelled ‘premium’ at unusually low prices often quietly downgrade the wear layer or skip the IXPE backing. Always insist on a line-item breakdown.

Top LVP Brands Available Locally

Singapore’s LVP market splits into three groups. Each has a place depending on your renovation goal and budget.

• European imports (Quick-Step, Moduleo, Karndean), premium pricing (S$10-14/sqft all-in), strong EIR textures, long warranty. Best for design-forward landed and condo renovations. Lead times can be longer (4-6 weeks) for special-order items.
• Korean imports (LG Hausys, KCC, Eagon), strong mid-market (S$6-9/sqft all-in), excellent factory QC, broad colour range. Common spec in Singapore HDB renovations and increasingly popular for condo projects.
• Local Singapore lines (Citiflooring LVT Core+ and similar), curated mid-market with local warranty support, matching skirting in stock, and in-house install. S$5.50-8/sqft all-in. Lead times shortest (5-7 days for in-stock items).
• Generic regional imports, broad price range, inconsistent QC. Avoid unless you can verify the spec sheet and physical sample. The savings are usually outweighed by the risk of early failure or no warranty support.

Within each tier, individual product lines vary. Quick-Step Largo is a different product from Quick-Step Impressive Ultra; LG Hausys Decotile is different from LG Hausys Decoclick. Always confirm the specific line and spec sheet, not just the brand name.

Where to Buy LVP in Singapore

Three main channels. Each has a trade-off.

1. Specialist flooring showrooms, like Citiflooring, that stock samples, supply the product, and install in-house. Best for accountability and warranty support. The price is fully transparent and the supplier owns the entire chain from product to install.
2. Renovation contractors and ID firms that source LVP through wholesale partners. Convenient if you are bundling the floor into a full renovation, but the contractor’s mark-up varies and you may not see the product spec sheet directly. Ask the contractor to disclose the supplier and product code so you can verify.
3. Online suppliers and direct imports. Cheapest material cost, but no installation, no skirting matching, and no local warranty. Best only for experienced DIYers with strong subfloor prep skills. Most homeowners regret this route within a year.

If you are renovating an HDB or condo for the first time, channel #1 (specialist showroom) is almost always the lowest-risk route. The price difference versus channel #2 is usually 5-10%, and you get direct accountability for material, install, and warranty.

Channel #2 makes sense when you have a full-renovation contractor handling everything from demolition to defect rectification. In that case, the contractor takes accountability for the whole job. But if you are managing the renovation yourself, channel #1 reduces the number of moving parts you need to coordinate.

How to Spot a Quality Plank

Picking up a plank in a showroom and judging quality by feel is harder than it looks. Here are five physical tests to do before you commit:

1. Run your fingernail across the surface in good light. Quality EIR has tactile wood-grain depth that your fingernail catches slightly. Print-only LVP feels smooth and plastic, no matter how realistic the photo looks.
2. Flex the plank with both hands. A solid SPC core resists bending; a thin or under-spec core flexes noticeably. Excessive flex predicts joint problems over time, especially over uneven subfloors.
3. Check the click joint visually. Quality joints are crisp, with sharp 90-degree edges and a uniform tongue. Cheap joints look rounded, compressed, or have visible burrs from poor factory cutting.
4. Look at the IXPE backing. It should be cross-hatched, evenly applied, and at least 1.5 mm thick. Thin or patchy backing means worse acoustics and a higher chance of subfloor imperfections showing through.
5. View two planks side by side and look at the print pattern. Quality LVP rotates through 6-12 unique print patterns; cheap LVP repeats the same 2-3 prints, which makes the floor look fake when laid across a whole room.

Bring planks home as samples and lay them in your own space, in your own lighting, before deciding. Showroom lighting is engineered to make every product look good. Your living room lighting is what you will actually live with for the next 15 years.

FAQ

Is luxury vinyl plank waterproof?

Yes, properly installed LVP with a rigid SPC core and sealed seams is waterproof. The plank itself does not absorb moisture. However, water that pools at the edges and seeps under the plank can damage the subfloor. Wipe spills promptly and seal edges in wet zones.

Can I install LVP over my HDB tiles?

In most cases yes, provided the tile surface is reasonably level and undamaged. An overlay install saves 2-3 days of hacking and S$1,500-3,000 in disposal costs. A site survey before quotation will confirm overlay feasibility for your specific flat.

What is the typical lifespan of LVP in Singapore?

Mid-tier LVP with a 18-22 mil wear layer typically lasts 15-20 years in residential use. The factors that shorten lifespan are direct sunlight on west-facing rooms, heavy furniture moved without felt pads, and chemical cleaners not designed for vinyl.

Do I need underlay if my LVP has IXPE backing?

Usually no. IXPE-backed LVP has acoustic underlay built in. Adding a separate underlay underneath can actually make the floor feel too soft and stress the click joints. Confirm with your installer based on your specific subfloor condition.

Why does Citiflooring recommend LVT Core+ over premium imports for most homeowners?

For 80% of Singapore homes, the visible quality difference between premium European LVP and our Core+ mid-tier is small once installed. Core+ saves you S$3-5 per sqft and includes matching skirting in stock, which most premium imports do not include locally.

Can I mix wood-look LVP with stone-look LVT in the same home?

Yes, and this is one of the design strengths of the LVT category. Many Singapore homeowners use wood-look LVP in living and bedrooms and stone-look LVT in dining or kitchen areas. The key is to plan transition strips at room boundaries and to keep colour palettes coordinated.
