The price per m² for fitting PVC flooring is one of the most searched questions during a floor renovation. And rightly so - costs can vary considerably. In this article, we give you an honest, complete overview so you won't face any surprises.

With us, you pay from €70 per m², including the floor, skirting boards and installation (and the underlay for click PVC flooring). Below, you can see the price per style and any potential additional costs.

Price per m² by style, including installation

StylePer m², including installation
Wood-effect€70 to €80
Concrete-effect€70 to €85
Stone-effect€75 to €85
Herringbone€80 to €90
Chevron€85 to €95

Includes VAT, flooring, skirting boards and installation; for click PVC flooring, the required underlay is also included. Levelling and removing an old floor are listed separately on the quote.

What is included in the price per m²?

The price per m² for fitting PVC flooring consists of two components: material costs and labour costs. Here is exactly what is included:

Material costs

  • PVC floor planks or tiles
  • Required underlay for click PVC flooring
  • Adhesive (for glue-down PVC flooring)
  • Drempelprofielen
  • Plinten

Labour costs

  • Measuring and preparation
  • Checking the subfloor
  • Fitting and finishing the floor
  • Fitting skirting boards
  • Tidying up and waste disposal

Additional costs that increase the price per m²

Besides the base price per m², certain tasks involve additional costs. Keep these in mind when calculating your total budget.

Levelling the subfloor

€10 to €25 per m²

Necessary if the subfloor is not flat enough for the chosen floor, after removing tiles, and always required under glue-down PVC flooring. On a wooden floor, we carry out dry levelling using board material.

Removing old flooring

€8 to €12 per m², including disposal

Removing tiles takes more work than removing carpet or laminate. Please note: old vinyl tiles and black adhesive in homes built before 1994 may contain asbestos, in which case an asbestos survey is required first.

Moisture barrier

On request

Only if the moisture test (CM method) shows it is necessary. The price depends on the system.

Stairs

€75 to €125 per step

Per step, including stair nosing profile.

Frequently asked questions about PVC flooring prices per m²

What does fitting a PVC floor cost per m² on average?

With us, a PVC floor costs from €70 per m², including the floor, skirting boards and fitting (plus the underlay for click PVC flooring). Wood-effect is around €70 to €80, while herringbone and chevron cost more due to the extra fitting work. Levelling or removing an old floor is priced separately.

What are the most affordable PVC floor options?

Straight-lay wood-effect and concrete-effect are the most cost-effective, starting from €70 per m² including fitting. A 0.3 mm wear layer is sufficient for a bedroom; for a living room, hallway or kitchen we recommend 0.55 mm.

Are there additional costs when fitting a PVC floor?

Yes, if required: levelling (€10 to €25 per m²), removing an old floor (€8 to €12 per m², including disposal) and stairs (€75 to €125 per step). A damp-proof membrane is only added if the moisture reading shows it is needed. Everything is clearly itemised on your quote in advance.

Is fitting a PVC floor more expensive in Amsterdam?

The price per m² is the same. In the city centre, parking and loading can involve extra costs; we discuss how to arrange this during the on-site measurement and include it on your quote.
