A parquet floor gives a warm and luxurious look to your home. But what does parquet actually cost in Spain?
The honest answer: the price can vary considerably. The type of parquet, the subfloor, and the installation method all play a role.
In this article, we explain where the costs come from and what prices you can expect.
Average price of parquet in Spain
To be clear right away:
Engineered parquet (most chosen):
approx. €70 – €120 per m² (material)
Solid parquet:
approx. €90 – €150+ per m² (material)
Including installation:
approx. €100 – €180 per m² on average
Note: these are realistic guideline prices. The exact price always depends on the situation.
What does the price consist of?
A parquet floor is more than just planks.
The total price consists of:
- material (parquet itself)
- preparation of the subfloor
- leveling (if needed)
- glue and installation
- finishing (baseboards, profiles)
Especially in Spain, the subfloor plays a big role
Many homes have tiled floors that need to be prepared first
Leveling: often a hidden cost
This is where people underestimate.
In many cases leveling is necessary:
approx. €20 – €35 per m²
Why:
- tiles have joints
- subfloor is not flat
- parquet requires a stable base
No proper preparation = problems later.
What makes parquet more expensive?
The price can increase due to:
- herringbone or patterned floor
- higher quality wood
- thicker top layer
- complex spaces
- extra finishing
Herringbone for example = more labor = higher price
Parquet vs other floors (an honest piece)
A quick comparison:
- PVC → approx. €45 – €90 per m² including installation
- Parquet → often more expensive
Why?
- material is natural
- more intensive installation
- more preparation needed
Is parquet worth it?
That depends on what is important to you.
Parquet:
- warm, natural appearance
- unique character
- higher investment
PVC:
- more practical
- more maintenance-friendly
- often cheaper
You choose parquet with your heart
You choose PVC with your head
What determines the final price?
Every home is different.
The price mainly depends on:
- type of home (apartment or villa)
- subfloor (tiles or concrete)
- chosen material
- finishing
That is why an exact price without inspection is almost impossible.
A parquet floor in Spain is an investment in appearance and comfort. With the right preparation and installation, the floor remains beautiful for years.
