Try a Bit of DIY

Unless your floor is very difficult to install, why not try to install your floor yourself? Some floor now come with installation methods that allows them to be layed down very easily. Floors such as engineered and laminate floors can be layed as floating floors, which means that you simply just lay them without any additional joining method.

By doing this, you will be able to save in energy bills. Solid wood and engineered wood flooring are well renowned for this - they circulate the heating, and the heat stays longer. If you add an underlay this works even better. Thanks to this you will use less heat and therefore you will spend less money on energy bills.
