You’re getting prepared to sell your house … or rent your apartment. The bathroom floor is in really bad shape, so you need to do something about that first. Should you search for some cheap flooring to save money, or should you buy something more costly?
Don’t you hate to have to make decisions like this? You want your house to look really great, but you just hate to spend any more than necessary. After all, you’re not planning to be living there yourself.

So let’s take a better look at what’s involved. BTW, I know that the word “cheap” has some negative vibes. But try to think of it as meaning “inexpensive”, not tawdry.
What’s the issue?
- You need flooring that will last, and is easy to maintain, especially for a rental unit. You don’t want to be putting in a new floor every time a tenant moves out.
- The flooring should be low cost, but you don’t want it to look shabby. Can’t you find anything that fits this description?
- You can command a higher price if the floor makes the place appear classy enough. Isn’t there a way you can get cheap flooring that looks just like exotic hardwood?
- If the floors appear “dated”, nobody will want to live there. Forget about those shag carpets from the 80’s!
Carpeting or Wooden Flooring?
Wall-to-wall carpet is gradually becoming less popular, and wood flooring is taking its place. One reason carpeting was popular is that it is comfortable to sit on. But it certainly isn’t as sanitary as a wood floor. And wood floors nowadays can have warm air ducted beneath them, so they aren’t chilly to walk on any more.
Actual Hardwood or a Look-alike?
It’s true that real wood really looks a lot more elegant, but some modern flooring materials can be tough to detect. Laminate flooring and engineered flooring are now made using an upper layer which is a photographic image of real wood, covered with a hard transparent acrylic material. So at first, you can’t tell it from the real hardwood.
So What’s the Answer?
You mean you still don’t know whether to put in cheap flooring or costly flooring? That’s not surprising. I’m not about to give you an answer to that question! You’re going to have to make up your own mind.
But I Need Help!
Yes, you do. You’ll need to look into the various kinds of flooring to see if any of them can do what you would like done at a reasonable price. And you need to find out what’s the cheapest flooring of each type. But not to worry – help is on the way – read on.
