Frequently Asked Questions
Which flooring is most popular in Bangladesh in 2025?
Ceramic and porcelain tiles remain the most popular in Bangladesh for both floors and walls due to their affordability, water resistance, and easy maintenance. Marble is popular in premium apartments. Vinyl/LVP is rapidly growing due to its waterproof nature and easy DIY installation. Laminate wood is popular for bedrooms in urban apartments.
What is the standard wastage percentage for tiles?
10% wastage is standard for straight-lay tile installation. Use 15% for diagonal (45°) or herringbone patterns, and up to 20% for complex cuts or very large format tiles. This calculator defaults to 10% but lets you adjust it.
How do I calculate floor area?
Enter the length and width of your room in feet or metres, or enter the total area directly. For irregular rooms, split into rectangles and add them. The calculator gives you the net area plus the adjusted buying quantity with your wastage buffer.
What is the price of marble flooring per sqft in Bangladesh?
As of 2024-25, imported marble (Italian/Spanish) costs ৳150–500 per sqft depending on quality and thickness. Local Rajshahi marble is cheaper at ৳80–150/sqft. Installation adds ৳25–50/sqft. Always get a current quote from your supplier.
Is vinyl flooring good for Bangladesh's humid climate?
Yes — LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) and LVT are 100% waterproof and ideal for Bangladesh's humid climate. They handle moisture far better than laminate or hardwood. They are also termite-resistant, which is a major advantage in Bangladesh.
What flooring is best for bathrooms?
Ceramic or porcelain tiles are best for bathrooms due to their 100% water resistance. Use non-slip (matte finish or textured) tiles on floors. Avoid marble in wet areas without proper sealing. Never use laminate, hardwood, or bamboo in bathrooms.
