Hardwood floors are generally more expensive than tile floors because they are harder to maintain. However, higher quality tile floors can cost more than hardwood floors.

Why is lineal more expensive than square meter?

The basic premise of your question is false. A lineal (or linear) metre of household tiles will NOT be more expensive than a square metre - unless they are gigantic tiles!


Do more expensive tiles last longer?

More expensive tiles do not last any longer than the cheaper ones. It depends on the quality of the make of the tiles, and how they are layed.


How long does it take to install Mohawk hardwood flooring?

This would depend on the size of the room in which you're installing the hardwood flooring. For a small to medium sized room it shouldn't take more than a few days at most if you hire a professional team to install it for you.


Is labor cheaper for tile or hardwood?

This depends on many factors including what area of the county you are in and what type of subfloor you have (e.g. concrete vs. plywood). It can also depend on type of tile (e.g. natural stone is more expensive than ceramic/porcelain) and what type of hardwood/type of installation (e.g. solid vs. engineered, glue down vs. float vs. nail down) as well as width of wood. This also depends on how level your floor is/what floor prep is needed. In the NY area/mid Atlantic, it is usually less expensive to install hardwood rather than tile, esp if you have a plywood subfloor. In the South and Southwest, though, it's usually the opposite - labor is often less for tile and the homes are built on concrete slab. It's best to get estimates from actual contractors in your area and have someone look at the current condition of your floor/subfloor to give you an accurate answer to this question.
