Which type of flooring should I get for my house

im with ighigo laminated is cheaper and much easier for the diy guy to install.ceramic tile is very labor intensive and you need special tools to put it in ie.. a wet saw with laminate you need a saw a hammer a block of wood and something to space your edges with about a quater inch .if you use it dont jamm against the wall anywhere or it will buckle up.and for a professinal look under cut door facings dont cut around them

Before you install wood floor in your home, make sure you check out your options on the many different kinds of wood flooring that’s available to you. There are a lot of flooring choice that vary in appearance, technology, and cost. These type of flooring; mahogany, maple, ash, pine, and oak, is available in different colors and grain, allowing you to choose a finish to suit your needs.

do not put tiles in the living room. it is a pain in the a to install & when u mop the florr the grout gets dirty so quickly. i would suggest u get wood flooring from lumber liquidators. they have the best deals u could ever find on wood flooring. the prices go from .99 on up. tiles r not very warm for a living room setting. u would have to invest in a large area rug. & wood flooring increases the resale value of the house by so much. plus tile is cold to walk on & wood flooring is always nice underfoot. ur dad could install wood flooring.

You can get tiles in almost every color, so it wo not be too hard to find something that matches.
Do not buy the tiles at Lowes or Home Depot!!! That is poor quality.
Go to a good tile dealer. He also can give your Dad some recommendations how to put it in.
If he decides to do it by himself, 12 x 12'' is good to work with.
He also should use the ready glue from a bucket not the powder to put them in.

white tiles through out the house? how boring. You like cold feet? the floors will be cold in ur bare feet. You should slap whoever is idea this is until they wake up & smell the coffee. Tiles suck, they r a bear to keep looking good, especially the grout. use wood, linoleum, carpet tiles, plastic flooring just about any thing else. A novice trying to do such a job they will probably look like hell anyway. Tiles have a purpose, the reasons they r kitchens & bathrooms r so the floor does not get ruined by spilled or splashed water. Leave them in those areas. forget them any where else. u could maybe use the linoleum tiles, but not ceramic ones.

If I was you I'd get wood flooring. It is easier to clean then carpet and dirt does not get stuck in the grouts like tile. It is also very easy to install my dad did it himself and wood flooring goes great with any wall color and I think tile is just meant for kitchens and bathrooms. I hope my answer helps you out.

I would actually suggest bamboo hardwood flooring.

It comes in many attractive colors (and a few not so attractive colors lol)
You can install it VERY easily with the snap in systems
It is a sustainable material, so you do not have to feel bad
There is no grouting to keep clean or replace every few years

tile can be put anywhere in the house. there are varieties of it. i would say go with a light color, since it will make the furniture stand out. porcelain tile would look nice, also tavertine. if ur dad is going to install, vynil tile is the easiest. if he does have experince cutting actual tile then go for the tavertine or porcelain. if not then vynil is easy to install. but go for a light color. off whites tones

Hmmm.. I would go with laminated hard wood flooring.. cheap but still looks nice!
