Depending on the and your specific needs, there are plenty of reasonable flooring options.... carpet is always a great deal... simple porcelain tile for bathrooms, kitchens, etc.... or even sheet vinyl - very inexpensive and much more durable than before. You can also look into laminiate floors - the finishes have come a long way and don't look as "fake" as they did years ago..... for these types of items don't be afraid to go to the Big box stores or your local liquidation outlets..,....

Check out luxury vinyl wood look planks. Kardean or Earthwerks. Earthwerks looks and feels like real wood and there also a no glue, click lock system that is easy to install.

I agree that luxury vinyl plank (LVP) would be your best option for durability. Pricing for material only could start around $0.69 sf + to installed $2.99 sf, depending upon your location.

Patricia, These guys are so right! I installed vinyl planks in a hospitality suite on the beach and everybody in the condominiums (these are multimillion dollar units) wanted to know what it was and could they have it too! I did it 2 years ago and it looks like it was laid yesterday.
Great stuff!

Porcelain tiles are one of the best choices you can make. Attractive, sturdy and practical, porcelain tile flooring is not expensive but it will make your life a lot easier.
