Does a tile exist that resists breaks(chips, cracks)

17 years ago

We are re-doing a house. We are putting in hardwood thru out - but contractor is against hardwood in baths.

I really prefer wood - but in our current house we have ceramic tile in all baths and in each case a tile is cracked or chaipped (and previous home owner did not leave any extras). I'm always paranoid of dropping something heavy that will break a tile - thus my desire for wood (a gouge is better than a crack).

Ive looked at some vinyl tile and sheeting - but they all look fake.. Does anyone have any suggestions - are there some types of tile that resist cracking if somehting is dropped??? Are some vinyl tiles OK for a bathroom and look real???
