Who has vinyl floors that look like wood? Do you like them?
Comments (45)After reading the various threads and looking at the pics, I'm sold for the basement but we're also considering it throughout the first floor. I'm concerned about resale (though it's would be decades away). The homes in our neighborhood are selling for $700,000+, and the expectation of course is high end everything. I'm considering putting this in the main living area too due to the ease of care and who knows what I'll like in 10 years? Our last home we had extensive use of hardwood. I loved the look but the constant worry, and no shoe policy was unpleasant. I want a house that we can live in. For as cheap as this stuff is, we couldn't even have the floors refinished, for what this stuff costs new. We currently have hardwood in the front foyer, front bath, dinette, kitchen, and laundry room (I wouldn't say the previous owner made a wise move on that decision). With all the remodeling though, much of the wood will be trashed anyway, so it's like we'd be starting from scratch. Are we crazy to even consider vinyl (even for a decade) when we can afford the real thing (installation and all), when the expectation is high end? It's only my husband, myself, and a little dog on a daily basis....See MoreDo stone/tile floors and dark cabinets exist in kitchens anymore?

Bill V?
Comments (13)Bill, I went back to the Master Tile showroom and looked at the Empire series today. It seems a bit slippery. I was asking the girl at the desk about it, but she couldn't give me any quantitative info. Just that "oh, it's not really slippery." We have a pool and kids going in and out with wet feet, so one of our goals is to have a less slippery floor than we have now. Isn't there some way of comparing the relative slipperyness of one tile to another? A scale or something?...See MoreIf you like brown fantasy quartzite, what other stones do you like?
