The Best Hardwood Floor Alternatives for Homeowners on a Budget
We lay the groundwork so you can make the best choice for every room in your home.
Eco-friendly and easy to clean, faux hardwood options are getting better than ever. Check out our list of the hardwood floors that give you the most bang for your buck for more ideas.
Bamboo
Try it if: You want super-hard floors for a bargain. These beauties start at just $1.70 per sq. ft. If you're looking for something richer in color, you can opt for darker "carbonized" bamboo.
Laminate
Try it if: You're using it in bathrooms (it's moisture-resistant). It's also incredibly easy to install, and perfect for highly trafficked areas thanks to its durability.
Engineered
Try it if: You want longevity (they can even be refinished!). They look just like the real thing, but are designed to handle moisture and wear even better than the real deal.
