I am torn about what direction we should go for flooring. Mike has allergies and I have a dog. So, how do we keep the house allergy-free? No Carpet is the answer. Beyond that, there are a couple directions we can go.1. Laminate flooring
2. Wood floors
3. Tile
4. Hybrid of the answers above (Cork, bamboo)
Laminate is a great direction because of price and durability. Wood Floors are tempting for resale. Tile is a choice I choose only if I can get the "wood tile" that I saw in a friend's house. Hybrids are great because they are great for the environment but they are expensive. Can I justify the almost double cost when we're trying to save every penny we can? 
I've Googled and Craigslisted to search for options and found an option to get 5 free samples sent to the house without a credit card required. So go through ebates - sign up with this link. Search for Builddirect and then you will get back 2% of anything you pay for at that site. Builddirect.com is the site that has the free samples. What do you have to lose?
What kind of flooring would you choose?
