Why Pasir Ris Has So Much Original Parquet Flooring

Pasir Ris was developed in the late 1980s as one of HDB's last major new towns of that decade, right at the tail end of parquet's run as the standard HDB flooring.

Pasir Ris was built out between 1985 and 1987, alongside Bishan, Bukit Panjang and Choa Chu Kang, as part of HDB's late-1980s new town programme. It became known early on for its resort-like character — beach frontage, wide green spaces, and a more relaxed layout than earlier estates.

That construction window still falls within the period when parquet was standard flooring, which is why original timber floors are common in Pasir Ris's oldest blocks, even though the estate is younger than places like Bedok or Toa Payoh.

The Backstory

Why Pasir Ris flats have so much original parquet

Pasir Ris New Town's construction in the late 1980s came at the tail end of parquet's era as HDB's default flooring choice, just before ceramic tile and vinyl began replacing it through the 1990s.

Because Pasir Ris developed relatively quickly as a large, planned new town, much of its original housing stock shares the same era of construction and finishes, including the parquet laid into bedrooms and living rooms.

Original owners who bought into Pasir Ris in its early years have often stayed long-term, meaning a good number of these late-1980s parquet floors are still original — now approaching 40 years old and typically due for restoration.

Insect Protection

Magnetic Insect Screens (MSeal) for Pasir Ris Homes

Pasir Ris's parks, beach frontage and greenery make insect protection especially relevant for homes here. Our MSeal magnetic insect screens fit over almost all window and door types without drilling, blocking mosquitoes (including dengue-carrying Aedes mosquitoes), flies and other insects while keeping airflow through the home.
