Laminate and vinyl flooring are both affordable alternatives to natural wood flooring. Laminate flooring is constructed from multiple layers, including high-density fiberboard, melamine resin, a decorative top layer, and an integrated acoustic cork backing. Vinyl flooring is available in a wider range of thicknesses and is made of 100% synthetic materials with a PVC or SPC core so that it can be used in high-moisture areas like bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms, and mud rooms. You can also install specialty waterproof flooring in those areas.

When choosing carpet, you should consider your aesthetic and style, the architecture and decor in the room, what the room is used for, and your future plans for your home. You want durable, stain-resistant carpeting that is attractive and comfortable to walk on. If you are installing carpeting in a high-traffic area like a stairway or living room, you should choose a denser loop-pile carpet made of durable material. When installing carpeting in rooms exposed to children, pets, food, and drink, or access to the outside, you should choose a low-pile, soil- and stain-resistant carpet. In rooms like bedrooms with less foot traffic, you can choose softer and plusher carpeting.

Porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles are made differently and constructed from different materials. Porcelain tile is made from a more refined clay and fired at a higher temperature, making it very dense and durable. Ceramic tile is made of a mix of clay, minerals, and water and is fired at a lower temperature. Porcelain is considered a specialized type of ceramic tile with a ceramic glaze that gives it a protective finish.
