Vinyl Flooring in Singapore

SPC (stone plastic composite) is the more rigid, water-resistant option, generally suited to areas with higher moisture exposure or heavier daily use. LVT (luxury vinyl tile) is more flexible and often chosen for its appearance and feel underfoot, and tends to suit lower-traffic residential rooms.

Which one fits depends on the area of use, expected foot traffic, the condition of the existing subfloor, and how the space needs to look and feel. If you're weighing vinyl against a natural hard floor instead, General Floor Care covers the homogeneous tile, granite, terrazzo, and concrete side of that comparison.

“One section of my vinyl floor is lifting.” This is often related to moisture underneath or a weakened adhesive bond, and it usually gets worse if left alone.

“There are scratches and scuff marks near the entrance.” High-traffic areas near doors wear faster than the rest of the room, which is normal but still fixable.

“A section has torn or split.” Sharp impacts or heavy furniture can tear vinyl, and whether that section can be patched depends on where it is and how large the tear is.

“The colour looks patchy or faded in places.” Sunlight exposure and uneven wear can cause this, and it's more noticeable on some vinyl types than others.

Vinyl suits homes, offices, retail spaces, and other indoor commercial interiors where a durable, relatively low-maintenance floor is wanted without the cost or weight of natural stone or solid timber. It's a common choice for bedrooms and living areas, as well as office floors that need to handle daily foot traffic without heavy upkeep.

The condition of the existing flooring, the extent of the damage, and the condition of the underlying surface all influence whether repair or replacement is the more practical option. That covers:

• Surface condition
• Damage location
• Extent of wear
• Underlying floor condition
• Condition of the surrounding flooring
