While vinyl and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) flooring are popular choices for modern homes, they may not be the best fit for old houses and HDB flats in Singapore. These materials can struggle with the unique challenges of ageing buildings—uneven subfloors, residual moisture from older concrete, and the high humidity levels common in tropical climates. Over time, this can lead to edge lifting, expansion gaps, and moisture-related issues that compromise both appearance and durability.
A new generation of waterproof flooring has been developed specifically to address the challenges of old houses and HDB renovations in Singapore. These advanced flooring systems feature a rigid, dimensionally stable core that resists moisture penetration from all directions—including from below, which is critical for older buildings with imperfect subfloors.
Unlike traditional vinyl or WPC, next-generation waterproof boards maintain their structural integrity even in high-humidity environments, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and homes near coastal areas. The result is a flooring solution that combines the aesthetic appeal of natural wood with superior performance and longevity.
| Feature | Vinyl / WPC Flooring | Next-Generation Waterproof Board |
|---|---|---|
| Water Resistance | Surface-level protection | Full waterproof from all directions |
| Swelling Risk | Moderate to high in humid conditions | Minimal to none |
| Suitability for Old Houses | May require extensive subfloor prep | Designed for imperfect subfloors |
| Termite Resistance | Limited (wood composite core) | High (inorganic core) |
| Long-term Stability | May warp or expand over time | Dimensionally stable |
Ideal for HDB flats over 20 years old with uneven floors, residual moisture issues, or previous water damage. No need for extensive hacking or leveling.
Perfect for older condominiums and private apartments where subfloor conditions are uncertain and long-term durability is a priority.
Designed to withstand spills, splashes, and the high moisture levels typical in Singapore kitchens. Easy to clean and maintain.
Suitable for bathrooms, laundry areas, and homes in coastal regions where humidity levels are consistently high throughout the year.
