Singapore landed homes have something HDB and condo owners don't: multiple storeys, direct ground contact, and wet-foot outdoor zones bordering the indoor floor. That changes the brief. You're not picking one floor for the whole house. You're zoning. After 200+ completed projects across HDB, condo and landed across the island, this is the room-by-room playbook our founders work with.
Room-by-room recommendation
Tap a zone to see what we'd spec and why
Ground floor: durability and showpiece duty
Living, dining, foyer, dry kitchen, family room
Upper floor: warmth, quiet, acoustic comfort
Bedrooms, study, family room, walk-in wardrobe
Wet areas: porcelain tiles, always
Master bath, ensuites, powder room, wet kitchen, yard
Outdoor: covered patio, balcony, pool deck
Sheltered patio, balcony, planter strip, pool surround
Staircase: match the storey it leads to
Main stair, half-landing, attic stair
Why landed needs a zoned strategy
A typical HDB flat is one storey and one substrate, so you can almost always pick a single LVT spec and run it edge to edge. A landed property is fundamentally different: every zone has a different brief. The ground floor entertains. The upper floors rest. Wet zones must shed water. Outdoor zones bake in tropical sun. The staircase ties it all together. A good specification respects each one rather than forcing a single material to do everything.
Tile belongs in that conversation well beyond the bathrooms. Large-format porcelain across a ground floor, a marble-look slab in the foyer, or a feature wall behind the stair are all things we are asked for and install, and in a landed home the cool, solid feel of tile is often exactly what the owner wants downstairs. The honest trade-offs are real: tile is harder underfoot than vinyl, it needs a screed or hacking rather than a same-day overlay, and the install runs days rather than hours. If that suits the room, it is the better floor. Our tile supply and installation service covers the full range.
The premium LVT and herringbone case
For ground-floor living and dining, where most landed homeowners spend the budget, premium plank LVT (S$3.20 to S$4.40 psf) is the workhorse, and herringbone LVT (LN H Series, S$4.90 psf) is the upgrade. Our full own-brand LVT range runs S$3.20 to S$4.90 psf supply and install. Both share the same waterproof composite core, the same 0.5mm scratch-resistant wear layer, and the same 25-year material warranty we offer on our vinyl. The herringbone premium pays for the additional cutting, the 8 to 12% material wastage, and the roughly 30% longer install time of laying a pattern. But the visual return per dollar is the highest in the entire renovation budget.
Indicative cost across a typical terrace
| Zone | Material | Indicative cost (psf, supply & install) |
|---|---|---|
| Ground floor living + dining | Herringbone LVT (LN H Series) | S$4.90 |
| Ground floor dry zones | Premium LVT plank (LN Korea / Urban Stone) | S$4.00 – S$4.40 |
| Upper-floor bedrooms | Standard LVT (LN Core / LN N) | S$3.20 – S$3.50 |
| Bathrooms & wet kitchen | Porcelain tile, R10 anti-slip | Quoted per project |
| Patio & pool deck | Outdoor-rated porcelain | Quoted per project |
Same-week start, one crew end to end. Our 7 to 10 person team handles supply, vinyl install and porcelain tiling under one roof, with no separate contractors to coordinate. Warranty cover differs by material: our own-brand LVT vinyl carries a 25-year material warranty plus a 1 year workmanship warranty on the vinyl installation. Tile is supplied and installed without a product warranty, so we walk you through the tile selection before you commit.
