Chapter 01 · Choose

Find the floor that fits your house.

Eight questions, then a shortlist with the reasons, the watch-outs and what we’d rule out. Not a list of products: what makes sense for your particular house.

1Where is it going?
2What is under it?
3Budget, installed, per sq ft

17 home floors. Answer the three questions and watch the list narrow.
