The price ranges from 24 to 82 Euro per square meter.
Linoleum is a popular flooring material that is durable, environmentally friendly, and sustainable. However, the quality of the linoleum matters. It is important that both gluing and laying are done at a consistent room temperature.
Factors influencing the price
The following factors can affect the cost of linoleum installation:
-
DIY contribution
-
Size and shape of rooms
-
Preparation work
-
Labor costs
Additional work
Depending on the condition of your property, additional costs may apply. If you contribute some work yourself, the price can sometimes be negotiated down. For sheet linoleum, these tasks may be required:
| Task | Cost |
|---|---|
| Removing and disposing of old flooring | 5–16 Euro/m² |
| Preparing the subfloor (incl. materials) | 3–6 Euro/m² |
| Travel costs | 10–50 Euro |
Material and labor costs
You can install linoleum yourself, but if you lack experience, professional help is recommended. Doing some prep work yourself, like removing old flooring, may reduce the overall cost.
The total cost including material ranges from 34 to 77 Euro per square meter.
| Task | Cost |
|---|---|
| Gluing cork underlay to subfloor | 10–23 Euro/m² |
| Laying linoleum sheets ≤2.5mm, glued | 24–52 Euro/m² |
| Laying linoleum sheets >2.5mm, glued | 5–54 Euro/m² |
| Welding linoleum sheets with welding cord | 0.20–4.70 Euro/m² |
Example calculation
A 20 m² living room is to be covered with linoleum. The sheets are welded together using a welding cord.
| Task | Cost |
|---|---|
| Gluing cork underlay | 300 Euro |
| Laying linoleum sheets | 600 Euro |
| Welding linoleum sheets | 30 Euro |
