Expect to pay between $4.75 and $12 per square foot to install Marmoleum® flooring in your home.
There are a few things that can affect your Marmoleum® flooring costs, which you should consider before getting started to get the most accurate project estimate possible.
Marmoleum® flooring costs between $4.75 and $12 per square foot—about the same as the cost to install linoleum flooring—which means the square footage you’re looking to cover with this eco-friendly flooring material will play a major role in your installation costs. Simply put, the larger the room you’re renovating, the more your Marmoleum® flooring will cost.
Room Size (sq ft) | Installation Cost |
---|---|
100 | $500–$1,200 |
150 | $700–$1,800 |
200 | $950–$2,400 |
250 | $1,200–$3,000 |
300 | $1,430–$3,600 |
350 | $1,670–$4,200 |
400 | $4,800–$4,800 |
There are three types of Marmoleum® flooring you can choose from, and the one you choose will affect your installation costs.
Click cinch loc Marmoleum® flooring comes in tiles or planks with a cork backing that clicks together, making DIY installation simple and straightforward. Marmoleum® modular tiles and Marmoleum® sheets require you to apply an adhesive before laying them, making the installation more complicated and better suited for a local flooring professional.
Flooring Type | Avg Cost per Sq. Ft. |
---|---|
Click cinch loc | $6.50 |
Modular tiles | $8 |
Sheets | $7 |
The more complex the Marmoleum® flooring installation is, the more your installation expert will charge for labor. A single flooring color in a perfectly rectangular room will be the most affordable installation option and will cost $1,800, on average. You’ll pay closer to $3,000 if you want multiple colors, an ornate tile pattern, or if your room has curved walls or numerous bump-outs that complicate the installation and drive up labor costs.
The labor cost to install Marmoleum® flooring accounts for between 30% and 50% of your total or between $2 and $6 per square foot. Labor costs will increase with more complex installations, and they will also be higher if you’re installing Marmoleum® tiles or sheets, which take longer to install due to the need to apply adhesive before laying the material.
Removing an old floor and hauling it away will cost between $2 and $7 per square foot, putting the costs for a 150-square-foot room between $300 and $1,100. Prices will sit toward the lower end of that range to remove linoleum flooring or click-lock vinyl flooring, and they’ll push toward the higher end if you’re removing ceramic tile, which takes more time and more effort to pull up. Hauling and dumping fees are included in these prices.
If your flooring installer removes your old floor and finds that you need subfloor repairs before it’s safe to install your new Marmoleum® flooring, you’ll pay between $2 and $30 per square foot to have repairs done. Most subfloor repairs cost between $450 and $3,000, with full replacement sitting at the higher end of the cost range and minor leveling costing closer to the lower end of that range.
Your location will affect your Marmoleum® flooring costs largely because the cost of labor varies based on the local cost of living. Labor costs can push closer to $6 per square foot in areas with a high cost of living, like in or around major cities, while they could sit as low as $2 per square foot in more remote areas with a lower cost of living.
State | Average Installation Cost |
---|---|
California | $2,600 |
Florida | $1,850 |
Georgia | $1,650 |
Illinois | $1,720 |
Michigan | $1,660 |
New York | $2,220 |
North Carolina | $1,760 |
Ohio | $1,710 |
Pennsylvania | $1,710 |
Texas | $1,670 |
Installing Marmoleum® flooring yourself will save you an average of around $4 per square foot, or around $720 per project. The installation process is simple enough for most DIYers to handle if you choose Click Cinch Loc Marmoleum® flooring. This doesn’t require the use of adhesive and installs similarly to click-lock vinyl flooring, so if you’re comfortable with that installation process, you could save yourself some money by DIYing.
Installing modular tiles or sheets of Marmoleum® is more complicated and is best left to professionals. Making mistakes when applying the adhesive can lead to poor adhesion, which could damage your new flooring or leave you with unsightly bubbles beneath the surface. You may also want to consider hiring a pro if you have a complex room layout and aren’t comfortable making the required cuts to work around bump-outs, baseboards, or other obstructions.
While you’re budgeting for your Marmoleum® flooring installation, you may want to consider some add-on services to complete your room.
Cost to install trim and molding: $600–$2,250
Cost to install underlayment: $0.50–$5.40 per sq. ft.
Cost to replace subfloor: $900–$3,000
Cost to install new energy-efficient windows: $300–$2,000
Cost to paint a room: $400–$1,600
Cost to apply epoxy over flooring: $0.30–$1.50 per sq. ft.
Marmoleum® flooring is a relatively affordable flooring option, but installation prices can still climb as high as $4,800. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to save money in the process.
Choose the right type of Marmoleum® flooring: Choosing Click Cinch Loc Marmoleum® flooring will save you around $1.50 per square foot, which could mean savings of $375 or more on an average-sized room.
Keep the design simple: A two-tone floor is a popular option with Marmoleum® tiles, but you’ll pay less in labor costs if you choose a single flooring color and a simple design layout over multiple colors in a pattern.
Consider DIYing: If you’re installing Click Cinch Loc Marmoleum® flooring, you can save up to $4 per square foot on installation labor if you do the work yourself. Even if you choose a more challenging type of flooring to install, you could save up to $7 per square foot by removing and hauling away the old flooring yourself.
Reuse materials from your old flooring: While you’re ripping up your old flooring, keep in mind that you can reuse flooring transition strips and baseboard trim if you remove them carefully, which can save you money when it comes time to refinish the room.
Get multiple estimates: Finally, get at least three estimates from flooring professionals near you and compare them based on the cost, the installer’s expertise, and what’s included in the installation cost.

Marmoleum® flooring lasts 30 to 40 years if you properly maintain it. Most people don’t attempt to refinish linoleum flooring like you would refinish hardwood floors. It’s normally more cost-effective to swap out damaged tiles as you go. Regular repairs are key to extending your floor's lifespan. When it’s time for a new floor, though, Marmoleum® is biodegradable and recyclable.
You can regularly clean your Marmoleum® flooring by sweeping, vacuuming, and damp mopping with a neutral cleaner. Avoid using highly abrasive materials or high-pH cleaners to prevent cracking, warping, or discoloration, and never wet mop, as heavy water exposure can damage the floors. Marmoleum® floors have a topcoat called TopShield preinstalled, so you do not need to polish them.
Marmoleum® Click Cinch Loc flooring comes with a preinstalled cork underlayment, and while Marmoleum® tiles and sheets don’t require an underlayment, adding one can make your floor more comfortable to walk on and less noisy. Marmoleum® can show imperfections in the surface you install it over, so an underlayment can help smooth out inconsistencies and make for a nicer-looking finished floor.
