Flooring Systems · Dubai Marina
Vinyl Flooring in Dubai Marina sits at the intersection of brand-certified applicator discipline and the densest residential-tower district in the UAE. From JBR Walk and Marina Walk to the back-of-house surfaces nobody photographs — same Mapei, Laticrete, AkzoNobel and X-Calibur systems, same TDS coverage rates, same signed-off Inspection Request documentation. We mobilise to Dubai Marina from our Al Quoz office on the same programme as anywhere else in the UAE.
Approved applicator · brand-certified
Dubai Marina · in focus
Dubai Marina is the densest residential-tower district in the UAE and one of the most demanding finish-trade environments in Dubai. Podium decks above JBR-level retail, pool surrounds at every tower, and back-of-house wet-area cores across the high-rise stack all sit at the intersection of UAE thermal cycling and 24/7 residential occupancy. We've delivered systems on programmes that respected residents' use windows, building security and gated-podium access protocols.
Local context
What we do
Luxury vinyl planks click together in 20 minutes. The hard part — the part that determines whether the floor lasts 5 years or 15 — happens before the planks come out of the box.
We screed flat to SR1 with Mapei Ultraplan, install moisture barriers where the substrate calls for one, plan the layout to avoid stupid slivers at thresholds, and use the right Mapei or Laticrete adhesive for glue-down systems.
System comparison
Four families, four different best-fits. The right one depends on the substrate, the use, and whether the floor needs to be repairable.

Our process
Where it fits
Frequently asked
LVT (PVC core) is more comfortable underfoot and pairs better with underfloor heating. SPC (stone-polymer core) is more dimensionally stable, better for big open spaces and rooms where direct sun moves the floor. For most residential work we recommend LVT; for big retail floors with daylight, SPC.
Click LVT for residential, light commercial, and any space where ease of repair matters (you can lift a damaged plank without ripping up the floor). Glue-down for heavy commercial, retail, F&B and anywhere wheels or heavy furniture roll over the floor — glue-down doesn't shift.
Sheet vinyl with welded seams: yes, ideal — fully waterproof. Glue-down LVT: yes with sealed perimeter. Click LVT: not recommended in wet zones — water seeps through the click joints and ruins the subfloor.
The planks themselves are 100% waterproof. Joints are not. Sheet vinyl with heat-welded seams is the only fully waterproof vinyl floor system. For wet-zone use, specify accordingly.
Residential click LVT: 10–15 years. Commercial glue-down: 15–20 years. SPC: 12–18 years. Sheet vinyl: 15–20 years. Lifespan depends on the wear-layer thickness — we always quote planks at 0.55 mm or thicker for commercial use.
Yes — with a self-levelling skim to bridge the grout lines. We never click LVT directly over tile (the grout lines telegraph). We screed flat with Mapei Ultraplan first, then install.
Indicative ranges. Subfloor prep + Ultraplan: AED 45–95 / m². Click LVT installed: AED 100–220 / m² (incl. planks). Glue-down LVT: AED 130–260 / m². SPC: AED 110–230 / m². Sheet vinyl welded: AED 140–280 / m².
A 100 m² villa apartment: 3–5 working days (incl. subfloor prep + acclimatisation + install + edges). A 500 m² commercial office: 7–10 working days. We can stagger across zones to keep parts of the space operational.
