When it comes to choosing the best flooring for your property, you will need to give it some careful thought and weigh up your options. You will need to start by creating a budget, so that you know exactly how much you can afford to spend on the materials and the actual installation. For many home owners, keeping the cost down when doing big jobs like laying new floors is vital but you will also need to ensure that the floor you lay will be of a good quality or you will only have to do it all again in the near future.

Laying a new floor for less isn’t as hard as many home owners fear and you can find a wide range of good quality cheap flooring by shopping around online. Laminate flooring is often the most popular choice for anyone wanting to keep the cost down but there are also other options to choose from such as:

  • Carpet
  • Vinyl
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood

Let’s take a look at the most popular types of modern flooring that are readily available through online companies:

 Laminate

 Laminate flooring is often considered to be the most affordable option when it comes to laying a good quality floor for less. Modern laminate flooring comes in a range of finishes and styles, and can represent any of the following:

  1. Stone
  2. Wood
  3. Ceramics

You can often lay it yourself, which is a great way to save even more money and it can be durable and hard wearing, ensuring that it will last for a long time.

 Carpet

 A good quality carpet can feel great underfoot and it can make a huge difference to the appearance of any room. It works well to keep your feet warm in the colder months and you can choose between a wide range of colours to make it easy to ensure your carpets work well with your décor.

 Vinyl

 Vinyl flooring is another affordable option and is far more affordable than laying ceramic tiles. It works well in kitchens and bathrooms, is simple to clean, is extremely durable and is quick and easy to install.

Engineered Wood

 While you might think wood is one of the most expensive types of floor you can lay, you can buy cheaper wooden flooring by investing in engineered wood. This offers the appearance of solid wood but is as simple to maintain as laminate and you can get engineered wooden floors made from a variety of species, including:

  • Oak
  • Cherry
  • Walnut
  • Acacia

Solid wooden floors are also a popular choice if you have a slightly more flexible budget to play with and this is a great option if you are looking for something that will last for a long time.

Some flooring companies will offer a finance option for anyone on a restrictive budget and you can also keep your eye out for sales to help you to get hold of a good deal.
