Vinyl flooring prices in Dubai start from around AED 12 per square metre for basic 1.5mm vinyl and can reach AED 140 per sqm for LVT flooring, depending on thickness, construction, design and grade.
Installation is normally priced separately. For projects above 100 sqm, HomeGeek installation starts from around AED 13/sqm for standard vinyl, while specialised medical vinyl and LVT require more preparation and skilled fitting.
If you are comparing quotations, do not look at the material price alone. A cheap AED-per-sqm rate can become considerably more expensive once floor preparation, adhesive, skirting, trims, wastage and installation are added.
This guide explains exactly what you can expect to pay for vinyl flooring in Dubai in 2026.
Quick price: HomeGeek vinyl materials currently range from AED 12–140/sqm, depending on the flooring type. Installation for projects over 100 sqm ranges from approximately AED 13–100/sqm, depending on the product and installation method.

Vinyl Flooring Price per Square Metre in Dubai
The biggest price difference comes from the flooring type. Basic 1.5mm and 2mm vinyl are the most affordable, while medical vinyl, SPC and LVT cost more because they are designed for different performance and design requirements.
| Flooring type | Typical thickness | Material price | Installation over 100 sqm | Indicative material + installation* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard vinyl | 1.5mm | AED 12–20/sqm | AED 13–30/sqm | AED 25–50/sqm |
| Standard vinyl | 2mm | AED 20–40/sqm | AED 13–30/sqm | AED 33–70/sqm |
| Medical vinyl | Typically 2mm | AED 50–100/sqm | AED 50–80/sqm | AED 100–180/sqm |
| SPC flooring | Product dependent | AED 35–80/sqm | AED 15–30/sqm | AED 50–110/sqm |
| LVT flooring | Product dependent | AED 70–140/sqm | AED 40–100/sqm | AED 110–240/sqm |
*The combined figures simply add HomeGeek’s stated material and installation ranges. They are indicative rather than fixed quotations. Subfloor preparation, skirting, removal, patterns and other extras can change the final cost.
This pricing structure also aligns reasonably well with the wider Dubai market. One current UAE flooring guide lists SPC material at approximately AED 35–85/sqm and LVT at AED 45–150/sqm, while another lists UAE sheet/roll vinyl around AED 25–60/sqm, LVT around AED 60–150/sqm and SPC around AED 70–160/sqm.
What does that cost per square foot?
One square metre equals approximately 10.76 square feet.
That puts HomeGeek’s material-only prices at approximately:
| Flooring | AED/sqm | Approx. AED/sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5mm vinyl | 12–20 | 1.12–1.86 |
| 2mm vinyl | 20–40 | 1.86–3.72 |
| Medical vinyl | 50–100 | 4.65–9.29 |
| SPC | 35–80 | 3.25–7.43 |
| LVT | 70–140 | 6.51–13.01 |
When another supplier gives you a price per square foot, multiply it by 10.76 to compare it with an AED/sqm quotation.
How Much Does Vinyl Flooring Installation Cost in Dubai?
For HomeGeek projects above 100 square metres, installation currently falls into these ranges:
| Installation type | HomeGeek installation rate |
|---|---|
| 1.5mm vinyl | AED 13–30/sqm |
| 2mm vinyl | AED 13–30/sqm |
| Medical vinyl | AED 50–80/sqm |
| SPC flooring | AED 15–30/sqm |
| LVT flooring | AED 40–100/sqm |
Standard flooring labour elsewhere in the Dubai market is commonly quoted around AED 15–35/sqm, so HomeGeek’s standard vinyl and SPC installation ranges are broadly in line with the market. Specialist floors can cost considerably more because the installation method and subfloor requirements are different.
The important point is that these rates apply to larger projects above 100 sqm. A 10 sqm bedroom cannot simply be priced by multiplying the large-project labour rate by ten. Small jobs still require transport, tools, setup, cutting and finishing, so they commonly have a minimum project charge.
1.5mm Vinyl Flooring Price
1.5mm vinyl flooring costs AED 12–20 per sqm for the material at HomeGeek.
For projects above 100 sqm, installation is approximately AED 13–30/sqm, putting a straightforward material-and-installation budget at roughly AED 25–50/sqm before additional preparation or finishing work.
This is the lowest-cost option in the current HomeGeek vinyl range and makes the most sense where budget and large-area coverage matter more than premium thickness or finish.
Typical applications include rental properties, temporary upgrades, low-traffic rooms and cost-sensitive commercial projects.
Do not choose solely by thickness, however. Wear layer, product specification and the condition of the floor underneath also affect how well vinyl performs.
2mm Vinyl Flooring Price
HomeGeek’s 2mm vinyl flooring costs approximately AED 20–40 per sqm for material.
Installation on projects above 100 sqm is around AED 13–30/sqm, producing an indicative combined cost of AED 33–70/sqm before optional preparation and finishing.
The additional material cost can make sense for homes and commercial spaces where you want a step above entry-level vinyl without moving into LVT or rigid-core SPC.
Medical Vinyl Flooring Price
Medical vinyl is a different category from inexpensive residential sheet vinyl.
HomeGeek’s medical vinyl flooring material costs approximately AED 50–100/sqm, while installation on projects over 100 sqm costs around AED 50–80/sqm.
That creates an indicative material-and-installation range of around AED 100–180/sqm before specialised preparation or project requirements.
The higher installation rate reflects the more demanding nature of healthcare and hygienic installations. Depending on the specification, a project may require homogeneous flooring, welded seams, coving and carefully prepared substrates.
As a useful market check, a Dubai retailer currently lists a 2mm homogeneous commercial product at AED 79/sqm material-only, while another Dubai supplier advertises 2mm homogeneous hospital flooring from roughly AED 105/sqm.
SPC Flooring Price
HomeGeek’s SPC flooring costs approximately AED 35–80 per sqm for material.
For projects above 100 sqm, installation costs approximately AED 15–30/sqm, giving a simple material-and-installation budget of around AED 50–110/sqm.
SPC can cost more than basic vinyl because it uses a rigid stone-plastic composite core and normally comes as a click-lock plank. It is particularly useful where a rigid floating floor is preferred over thin glued vinyl.
Current competitor pricing supports this range. One 2026 Dubai guide puts SPC material around AED 35–85/sqm, while another UAE guide quotes approximately AED 70–160/sqm, showing how strongly brand, thickness and specification can move the price.
For the full product range rather than generic vinyl pricing, visit SPC flooring in Dubai.
LVT Flooring Price
LVT is the most expensive option in this HomeGeek price comparison.
LVT flooring costs approximately AED 70–140 per sqm for material, with installation for projects above 100 sqm around AED 40–100/sqm.
That creates an indicative material-and-fitting budget of approximately AED 110–240/sqm.
Why the large range?
LVT prices vary substantially by wear layer, design quality, plank or tile format, installation method and pattern. Straight-laid standard tiles require less labour than detailed layouts such as herringbone.
Current Dubai pricing also varies considerably. Recent guides put LVT material at around AED 45–150/sqm or supply-and-install benchmarks around AED 65–185/sqm, depending on grade and scope.
For buyers specifically looking for LVT rather than standard vinyl, the dedicated LVT flooring page should be the next step.
What Else Can Increase Your Vinyl Flooring Cost?
The price of the roll or plank is only one part of a finished floor.
Before accepting a quotation, check whether the following work is included:
| Possible extra | Indicative Dubai budgeting range | Why it may be required |
|---|---|---|
| Floor levelling / screed correction | AED 30–60+/sqm | Uneven or damaged subfloor |
| Old flooring removal | AED 10–25/sqm | Replacement projects |
| Basic skirting supply & installation | AED 15–35/linear metre | Finished perimeter |
| Door/transition trims | AED 25–75 each | Between flooring types/doorways |
| Furniture moving | AED 100–300+ per room | Occupied properties |
| Extra material/wastage | 5–10% normally | Cuts and room edges |
| Herringbone/diagonal wastage | 10–15% | More cutting and offcuts |
These are budgeting allowances, not HomeGeek fixed rates. I have intentionally separated them from your confirmed HomeGeek prices. Current Dubai guides also show that levelling, skirting, old-floor removal and preparation are commonly charged separately, with substantial variation depending on site condition.
A site inspection is therefore more useful than trying to calculate every extra from an online price table.
Example: How Much Would 100 sqm of Vinyl Flooring Cost?
This is where comparing flooring by material price alone becomes misleading.
For a straightforward 100 sqm project, before levelling, skirting, removal or other extras:
| Flooring | Material | Installation | Approx. project range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5mm vinyl | AED 1,200–2,000 | AED 1,300–3,000 | AED 2,500–5,000 |
| 2mm vinyl | AED 2,000–4,000 | AED 1,300–3,000 | AED 3,300–7,000 |
| Medical vinyl | AED 5,000–10,000 | AED 5,000–8,000 | AED 10,000–18,000 |
| SPC flooring | AED 3,500–8,000 | AED 1,500–3,000 | AED 5,000–11,000 |
| LVT flooring | AED 7,000–14,000 | AED 4,000–10,000 | AED 11,000–24,000 |
These examples are especially useful when comparing quotations because they show the likely project range, rather than advertising only the lowest material price.
For example, seeing “vinyl from AED 12/sqm” does not mean a finished 100 sqm floor will cost AED 1,200. That is the entry material cost before fitting and any required preparation.
What Makes One Vinyl Flooring Quote More Expensive?
Two products that look almost identical can have very different prices.
1. Thickness and flooring construction
Moving from 1.5mm to 2mm vinyl increases the material cost. Moving from flexible vinyl into rigid SPC or higher-grade LVT changes the construction entirely.
2. Wear layer
For many vinyl products, wear layer matters more than total thickness when judging durability.
A thicker wear layer generally costs more because there is more protective material between everyday traffic and the printed design.
The cluster plan deliberately sends this topic to the quality guide rather than duplicating it here. Strategy & keyword map
Read how wear layer affects vinyl quality and price before choosing purely by thickness.
3. Condition of the existing floor
A flat, clean floor costs less to cover than cracked screed or badly uneven tiles.
Levelling becomes particularly important with thin vinyl because imperfections underneath can become visible through the finished surface.
4. Installation method
Click-lock SPC is installed differently from glued sheet vinyl or LVT.
Medical installations can require more specialised preparation and finishing, which explains why their labour rate is substantially higher than standard residential vinyl.
5. Pattern and room shape
A square room with a straight installation is cheaper than rooms with columns, curved walls, multiple doorways or complicated cuts.
Herringbone and diagonal patterns also produce more waste and require more installation time.
6. Total project size
HomeGeek’s installation prices above are based on projects over 100 sqm.
Larger areas let labour, transport and setup costs spread across more square metres. Smaller projects can therefore have a higher effective cost per sqm.
Affordable Vinyl Flooring: Where Can You Save Money?
The cheapest material is not always the cheapest completed floor.
For budget-sensitive projects, start by choosing the right product for the actual use of the room.
1.5mm vinyl at AED 12–20/sqm gives the lowest entry price. For a little more material budget, 2mm vinyl at AED 20–40/sqm may be more appropriate depending on the product specification and traffic.
You can also reduce unnecessary costs by installing over an existing floor where the substrate is flat, stable and suitable rather than automatically demolishing it.
For larger jobs, ask about available stock and full-roll quantities. HomeGeek’s cluster includes a dedicated guide to vinyl flooring at Dragon Mart and trade pricing for customers comparing bulk options. The content strategy specifically places this link in the price guide’s affordability section. Strategy & keyword map
Where you should not automatically choose the cheapest option is the product specification and floor preparation. Saving a few dirhams per sqm has little value if the floor is unsuitable for the traffic or the substrate underneath has not been prepared correctly.
How Much Does It Cost to Replace Existing Vinyl Flooring?
A replacement project has two separate costs:
removing the existing floor + installing the new floor.
For early budgeting, allow approximately AED 10–25/sqm for straightforward old vinyl or carpet removal, although glued flooring, difficult adhesive and disposal requirements can push this higher.
Once the old floor is removed, the subfloor also needs inspection. Adhesive residue, cracks or uneven screed may need grinding, filling or levelling before new vinyl can be installed.
For this reason, replacement projects should ideally be quoted after inspection rather than from room dimensions alone.
Commercial and Medical Vinyl Flooring Cost
Commercial flooring should not be compared directly with basic residential vinyl.
HomeGeek’s medical vinyl material starts around AED 50/sqm and reaches AED 100/sqm, with installation around AED 50–80/sqm on projects above 100 sqm.
Commercial specifications can require characteristics such as increased wear resistance, slip resistance, welded joints or hygienic finishes depending on the application.
This explains why medical and specialised commercial floors can cost several times more to install than basic residential vinyl.

Vinyl vs SPC vs LVT: Which Gives Better Value?
There is no single cheapest option for every project.
| Priority | Usually worth considering |
|---|---|
| Lowest upfront material cost | 1.5mm vinyl |
| Affordable upgrade | 2mm vinyl |
| Rigid click flooring | SPC |
| Premium decorative finish | LVT |
| Healthcare / specialist hygienic use | Medical vinyl |
| Large budget-sensitive areas | Standard sheet vinyl |
If the priority is simply the lowest upfront price, 1.5mm vinyl from AED 12/sqm wins.
For a rigid floating floor, SPC starts at AED 35/sqm at HomeGeek. LVT starts considerably higher at AED 70/sqm, but it targets buyers looking for a more premium decorative floor.
The correct comparison is therefore not simply “which costs less?” but which floor gives the specification the room actually requires without paying for features it does not need?
