What Do flooring Materials Cost?
There is a wide selection of flooring products to choose from. Custom Homes may have carpet, ceramic tile, porcelain tile, hardwood or stone. What you choose has a great deal of impact on the cost of your home.
Suppliers don't make selecting flooring products any easier since materials can be priced by the square foot or square yard. Additionally, the cost of installation varies too.
For the purpose of this discussion all products will be priced per SF. The below costs are generalizations for comparison purposes only.
Carpet- $20/SY with 6 oz pad is $2/SF installed.
Hardwood Flooring- Wood veneer is normally $7-$9/SF installed but you have to add floor preparation and transition strips if required. Normally some slab prep is required no matter how good the concrete slab contractor is. If you want to eliminate transition strips, quite a bit of floor prep may be required depending upon the thickness of abutting floor materials. Laminated flooring is not recommended.

Shower niches, diagonal, mosaics and brick patterns are additional costs.
