What is the best flooring for the money?

For most Calgary homes, rigid-core luxury vinyl plank on the main floor and basement, with tile in bathrooms and entries. That combination handles moisture, pets, kids and winter grit without the maintenance and humidity sensitivity of solid wood. If the house already has hardwood, refinishing it is almost always better value than replacing it. The best-value decision is rarely the cheapest product. It is the one matched correctly to the room, over a subfloor that was properly prepared.
