my daughter did the hardwood floors and hers does show stratches (bad) but hers is also soft step type and she has a lab. we went for the tile floors less unkeep and wear, it is colder in the winter, but cooler in the summer. I have notice with both the hardwood and title it's hard for the dogs to get there footing on, I want to put splitbrick in the kitchen, right now our den is half carpet and half tile were the fireplace is. I think it will be a trade off with any way you go good and bad. |
