1. Rooms and floors 616 sq.ft.

Each room can have its own floor. Skirting adds about 4 inches of the same material around the walls.

2. Quality and laying

Marble, granite and Kota are always laid on a mortar bed. Wood, laminate and vinyl are laid dry on an underlay.

3Choose

Which floor for which room?

Match the floor to the traffic, water and feel each room needs, not only to the price.

Vitrified tiles

Living, bedrooms, offices

Good for: almost everywhere; hard, stain-resistant and affordable.

Watch: glossy tiles are slippery when wet; choose matt or anti-skid in wet areas.

Marble

Living and puja rooms

Good for: a rich, cool floor that lasts for generations and can be re-polished.

Watch: stains from acids and oil; needs sealing and periodic polishing.

Granite

Stairs, lobbies, kitchens

Good for: heavy traffic and hard wear; very durable.

Watch: dark, polished granite shows scratches and is slippery on stairs without grooves.

Kota stone

Utility, balconies, parking

Good for: a low-cost, tough natural stone that stays cool.

Watch: limited colours; needs polishing for a smooth finish.

Wood and laminate

Bedrooms, study

Good for: warm, quiet floors over a level concrete base.

Watch: keep away from bathrooms and kitchens; water swells boards.

SPC vinyl and epoxy

Rentals, offices, garages

Good for: vinyl for quick, quiet, water-resistant floors; epoxy for seamless, easy-clean floors.

Watch: vinyl needs a very flat base; epoxy can be slippery without grit.

BaseLevel and clean the base; fix damp before laying
Wet areasAnti-skid tiles in bathrooms, balconies and kitchens
ExpansionLeave gaps at walls for wood and vinyl, and joints in large tiled areas
BatchBuy all tiles or slabs of one design from the same batch
CuringKeep off new stone floors until polishing and curing are done

See the actual material. Natural stone varies from slab to slab. Choose and mark your slabs at the yard, and check tiles for shade and size before laying starts.

5Method

How the cost is worked out

Room by room, then totalled by floor type.

Floor = L × W; skirting = 2 × (L + W) × 4 in
Material = (floor + skirting) × (1 + wastage) × rate
Mortar bed = 40 mm, 1:4; 2.85 bags cement per 100 sq.ft.
Adhesive = 0.45 kg per sq.ft.
Labour = floor × laying rate + polishing for stone
  1. Quality scales material: basic 0.8, standard 1, premium 1.4.
  2. Location scales labour from village 0.85 to metro 1.28.
  3. Wood and vinyl add an underlay and are sold in boxes of about 20 to 24 sq.ft.

7FAQ

Questions

What does flooring cost per sq.ft. in India?

Laid and finished, as planning figures for a town: vitrified tiles about ₹115, ceramic ₹100, Indian marble ₹225, granite ₹210, Kota stone ₹130, laminate ₹130, engineered wood ₹370, SPC vinyl ₹100 and epoxy ₹120 per sq.ft., including bedding, wastage and labour. Italian marble can cross ₹600. Change the rates to your dealer's prices.

Which floor is best for a home?

Vitrified tiles are the most common: hard-wearing, easy to clean and affordable. Marble and granite look richer and last for generations but need polishing. Wood and laminate feel warm in bedrooms but dislike water. Vinyl (SPC) is quick, quiet and water-resistant. Use anti-skid tiles in bathrooms and balconies.

How much wastage should I add?

About 5 to 7% for tiles, planks and vinyl in regular rooms, and 10 to 12% for marble and granite slabs that are cut to fit. Diagonal or patterned layouts need more. The calculator uses a typical wastage for each floor type.

Why do marble, granite and Kota need polishing?

They are laid in slabs on a mortar bed and then ground flat and polished on site to remove lippage and bring up the shine. That adds labour and time, and the floor should not be used heavily until it is done.

What goes under a wooden or vinyl floor?

A dry, level base and a foam or rubber underlay. Wood and laminate float over the underlay with a gap at the walls for expansion. Check moisture in new concrete before laying wood.

How is the cement and sand for the bed worked out?

Tiles and stone on a mortar bed use about 40 mm of 1:4 cement-sand mortar. That is roughly 2.8 bags of cement and 0.4 cum of sand per 100 sq.ft. With tile adhesive instead, the calculator counts adhesive bags.

How is skirting added?

Skirting is the room perimeter × about 4 inches, in the same material as the floor. Wooden and vinyl floors use matching skirting profiles priced per running foot.
