· Hardwood – These floors are among the most popular and often a favorite. Hardwood floors are durable and provide a natural feel. They come in many different styles, and offer you the option of finishing them yourself. 

· Laminate – Laminate is much like hardwood but easier to install and less expensive. Laminate is made from materials that are wood-based and laminated on top of wood grain. These are engineered floors. 

· Bamboo – This is a lightweight floor that is very humidity resistant, but may be more expensive that other options. It is environmentally friendly and looks good in many kitchen areas.

· Linoleum – This is one of the more popular choices particularly as it is a green choice, not one of the choices that depletes the rain forests. It is made of wood flour and rosins. It is made of natural products, and offers bactericidal properties. It is often used in hospitals and clinics. Linoleum is shock resistant and water-resistant, comes in many colors and is easy-to-clean. 

· Tile – Tile is very popular, natural, and comes in many different colors. It is easier to maintain than some other natural products including marble, costs less and is very durable.
