Sheet vinyl is among the most affordable flooring options, and it’s very durable, too. You can buy sheet vinyl for as low as $0.50 per square foot, and it can last you 10 to 20 years. After sheet vinyl, laminate flooring is the next most cost-friendly flooring option, with prices ranging from $1 to $6 per square foot. Other inexpensive but durable options include linoleum, carpeting, and concrete, each of which can be purchased for as low as $2 per square foot.

Depending on carpet type and labor, costs range from $3 to $12 per square foot.

Using too much soap or floor cleaner can leave your laminate floors looking dirty or cloudy after mopping. Only use a teaspoon of soap or cleaning solution in a gallon of water. Additionally, always be sure to sweep or vacuum laminate floors before mopping to ensure you pick up dried grit, hair, and dust that can be harder to catch with a wet mop.

Door transitions can work with virtually any flooring type; however, different transition strips lend themselves better to specific flooring types. For instance, if you are bridging the gap between a taller floor, like carpet, to a shorter floor, like hardwood, then you will want a transition strip with a slight slope to bridge the height difference. These transition strips are called reducer molding. On the other hand, if you are bridging two floors of the same height, you can use flat transition strips, such as T-strips and seam binders.
