Well we have just about every type in our house. Tile, carpet, hardwood and linoleum.
The hardwood floor is nice but takes a lot to maintain and scratches easy.
The tile is very nice, easy to maintain and always looks great. The downside is it is soooo cold in the winter and the surface is very hard on them.
The linoleum didn't last long at all. They scratched it and were able to rip some of it up somehow. A complete waste of money.
The carpet we do have is going very shortly. We have decided to in it's place we will be doing wood laminate. It looks great, easy to maintain, and doesn't scratch as easily as the hardwood.
If you install it right using a good under pad and a sealant, leaks or spills are no worry. They are a lot more durable than you would think.
Good luck with your decision!! |
