What is the most inexpensive flooring to put in a mobile home?

• <div><p>Vinyl and linoleum are the most affordable flooring for a mobile home. The material costs <b>$3 to $7 per square foot</b>—or half as much as hardwood and slightly less than laminate. </p><p>Overall, vinyl isn’t as durable as linoleum, but it performs best in areas with high levels of moisture. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or luxury flooring tile (LVT) has added durability with just a slightly higher price tag. </p></div>

Why don't you put flooring under kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Sometimes, it’s best to avoid putting flooring under cabinets or installing the cabinets first. Installing cabinets on top of the flooring can void the flooring warranty. This can be a costly problem, especially if accidental flooring damage occurs during installation. Also, it’s not a good idea to install cabinets over floating floors, such as laminate, that need room to expand and contract. Finally, avoiding installing flooring under kitchen cabinets is a more budget-friendly option as you will use fewer materials.</p></div>
