Best Paint Brands & Colours for Pakistani Homes (2025 Trends)
December 2, 2025
Pakistan’s construction boom continues with a projected real estate growth rate of over 5% annually through 2028. With a housing deficit exceeding 10 million units, homeowners in Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi are investing heavily in flooring for their 5 Marla (PKR 7–12 million) to 1 Kanal (PKR 26–50 million) homes. At Afaq Ahmad Constructions, we’ve completed hundreds of projects and tracked every rupee on tiles, marble, and wooden flooring. This 2025 Complete Flooring Cost Guide provides exact prices, trends, and tips to floor your dream home without surprises.
Why Flooring Costs Are Critical in 2025
Flooring typically accounts for 10–15% of your total construction budget — that’s PKR 1.6–3 million for a 10 Marla house. The Pakistan Building Code (PBC) 2021 and Green Building Code 2023 now mandate slip-resistant and eco-friendly options, pushing prices up by 5–8% from 2024. Add inflation (tiles +6%, marble +7%, wood +5%) and labour rates at PKR 450–550/day, and flooring has become a make-or-break expense. Here’s the real 2025 breakdown based on our Lahore projects.
1. Tiles (Ceramic & Porcelain) – 2025 Prices
Tiles dominate flooring choices, offering versatility for bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas. In 2025, local production has stabilized prices, but imported options from China and Iran remain premium.
| Category | Brand / Origin | Price per sq ft (PKR) | Total for 10 Marla (2,200 sq ft covered) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Ceramic | Master, Shabbir, Sonex | 120–250 | 264,000 – 550,000 |
| Local Porcelain | Stile, Master | 250–450 | 550,000 – 990,000 |
| Imported Ceramic | China, Iran | 500–800 | 1.1M – 1.76M |
| Imported Porcelain | Spain, Turkey, Italy | 800–1,800 | 1.76M – 3.96M |
| Tuff Tiles (Outdoor) | Local Concrete | 49–84 (per block) | 107,800 – 184,800 (for 2,200 sq ft) |
Installation Cost: PKR 40–80/sq ft (PKR 88,000–176,000 for 2,200 sq ft) 2025 Trend: Large-format porcelain (24×48 inches) from China dominates—fewer grout lines, faster install, and luxurious look at 20% less labour cost.

2. Marble – 2025 Prices
Marble offers timeless elegance for living rooms and staircases, but its price volatility reflects mining costs and import duties.
| Type & Origin | Price per sq ft (PKR) | Total for 1,000 sq ft (e.g., living room + stairs) |
|---|---|---|
| Local Ziarat White | 70–120 | 70,000 – 120,000 |
| Local Badal Grey | 90–150 | 90,000 – 150,000 |
| Local Tavera | 100–160 | 100,000 – 160,000 |
| Verona Spots (Local) | 120–200 | 120,000 – 200,000 |
| China Verona Plain | 150–250 | 150,000 – 250,000 |
| Imported Carrara | 800–1,200 | 800,000 – 1.2M |
| Imported Travertine | 700–1,000 | 700,000 – 1M |
Installation & Polishing: PKR 100–200/sq ft (PKR 100,000–200,000 for 1,000 sq ft) 2025 Trend: Pakistani marble like Ziarat White is surging—50% cheaper than Italian Carrara while offering similar veining, with eco-certification boosting resale.

3. Wooden Flooring – 2025 Prices
Wooden flooring adds warmth but comes at a premium. Engineered wood and laminates are popular alternatives to solid hardwood.
| Type & Origin | Price per sq ft (PKR) | Total for 2,000 sq ft (10 Marla) |
|---|---|---|
| Laminate (Chinese) | 250–450 | 500,000 – 900,000 |
| Engineered Wood | 600–1,200 | 1.2M – 2.4M |
| Solid Hardwood (Teak) | 1,200–2,500 | 2.4M – 5M |
| SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) | 300–600 | 600,000 – 1.2M |
Installation Cost: PKR 80–150/sq ft (PKR 160,000–300,000 for 2,000 sq ft) 2025 Trend: SPC flooring from China is exploding—waterproof, scratch-resistant, and 50% cheaper than hardwood, perfect for Pakistani monsoons.
