Carpet Carpet deadens noise and is warm underfoot in the colder months (although it can muffle the effects of radiant floor heating systems). It costs $2.50-$4 per square foot. Hardwood Floors Carpets may not be the best choice for allergy sufferers (especially wall-to-wall carpeting which can trap dust, mites, dander, etc.), and many prefer hardwood floors as an alternative. They also have a classy look that goes especially well in log homes. Hardwood floors cost between $6-$15 per square foot. Tile Flooring Durable tile floors are popular choices in bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and other high traffic areas. Tile flooring costs between $5-$15 per square foot. Stone Stone is as durable as tile, and like hardwoods fits well with the rustic log home look. It can be costly to install though; expect to pay $7.50-$20 per square foot and extra for installation labor. Linoleum/Vinyl Linoleum and vinyl are the cheapest flooring materials, and they are easy to maintain. Both are available in numerous patterns and colors. Expect to pay $2.50-$4 per square foot for linoleum or vinyl.
