Luxury vinyl vs rigid floating floors

Honest Pricing
What vinyl flooring actually costs
Luxury vinyl plank flooring in Melbourne generally starts around $60 per m² supplied and installed. Plank construction, commercial wear layers, adhesive choice and the extra floor preparation required by flexible vinyl can place premium work at $80–$110+ per m².
The vinyl estimate reflects wear layer, installation format, compatible adhesive and the smoothing needed underneath, preventing preparation costs from appearing later.

Room by Room
Where vinyl flooring works in your home
Vinyl is a quiet, water-friendly and low-profile choice for kitchens, apartments and busy family zones. Precise subfloor preparation is what makes the finish last.
Kitchens
Water resistance, cushioned comfort and an easy-clean surface make LVP practical around cooking zones where people spend long periods standing.
Bathrooms & laundries
Use only vinyl approved for the specific wet room, with the required adhesive and perimeter sealing. Product warranty conditions determine suitability.
Living & dining
Quiet footfall, warmer touch and low build height suit apartments and renovations; glue-down planks create a stable, streamlined open-plan finish.
Bedrooms
Naturally quieter and more forgiving than rigid boards, vinyl gives bedrooms an easy-clean surface without the hard, cold feel of tile.
Hallways & stairs
Choose a commercial-grade wear layer for busy corridors. Stairs need specialist adhesive, nosings and detailing rather than a simple continuation of the field floor.
Rentals & investment properties
Selected planks can be repaired without replacing a whole room. A dependable wear layer and spare batch stock help speed up rental turnarounds.

A Quieter Daily Routine
Vinyl comfort is created before, during and after installation
The softer acoustic character people notice is only one part of the experience. Subfloor smoothness, furniture protection and low-moisture cleaning keep the surface feeling settled.
- 01BEFORE
Smooth the foundation
Vinyl follows the substrate closely, so ridges, joins and local hollows are corrected to the tolerance required by the chosen system.
- 02DURING
Resolve the edges
Transitions, perimeter details and cabinetry interfaces are finished cleanly so daily movement does not expose weak points.
- 03AFTER
Protect the surface
Entry mats, felt pads, suitable castors and the approved cleaner reduce grit scratches, furniture marks and residue build-up.

Common Questions
Vinyl Flooring FAQs
Compare wear layers, click versus glue-down construction and subfloor preparation for a long-lasting vinyl result.
What are the advantages of vinyl flooring compared to other types?
Luxury vinyl is resilient, water-resistant and quieter underfoot than many rigid boards. Its low profile suits renovations, while glue-down and click options support different room and repair needs; the trade-off is that flexible vinyl demands especially smooth preparation underneath.
How much does vinyl flooring cost installed in Melbourne?
Typically from $60 per m² supplied and installed. Wear-layer specification, glue-down versus click construction and the smoothing required to prevent subfloor imperfections showing through are included in the measured quote.
How do I maintain and care for vinyl flooring?
Sweep or vacuum with a non-scratching head and damp-mop using a neutral cleaner approved for vinyl. Avoid solvents, abrasive pads and steam; use felt furniture protectors, clean grit promptly and follow the manufacturer guidance for rugs or rubber-backed mats.
Can you install vinyl flooring over existing flooring?
Vinyl may be installed over an approved hard surface only when it is firmly bonded, dry and very smooth. Flexible planks can reveal grout lines, adhesive residue and small ridges, so patching or a smoothing compound is often required before glue-down installation.
Do you offer warranties on vinyl flooring products?
Vinyl coverage depends on the wear layer, construction, installation method and intended traffic level. We provide the selected range's written warranty and specify the compatible adhesive, subfloor preparation and care products required by its terms.
