What kind of flooring material
is the best for me?
The best flooring material for your project is one that fits your
budget and your aesthetics and meets your needs. Flooring
materials can range widely in price and complexity of installation.
Likewise, you may appreciate the quality and feel of a wool carpet,
but carpeting may not be best surface for a kitchen floor.
We have compiled some basic information about different green
flooring materials on the Green Built Home Web site to help you
decide which flooring material is the best for your project and
answers to commonly asked questions. For more information, see
