Opinions of woodlook tile and would you put it next to real wood?
Comments (2)I really don't see the appeal of the wood look ceramic tile, but it must be popular, because everybody is making it. Just me, but I wouldn't like to put it up against real wood. If you like it, then go for it. You're the one that has to live there, not anybody else....See MoreWho 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 MoreHow vinyl 'wood' looks next to real wood (pic)
Comments (20)I love the look of your vinyl next to the real wood. I would like to replace all of my carpeting with vinyl planks. Some of what I have seen online looks just like wood. Angel nor calif - would you tell me what type of vinyl flooring you used, and did you put it in a living room or dining room? Veta...See MoreVinyl 'wood' next to real wood--here's a pic
Comments (12)I was afraid someone would ask me that, Auntie Ellen! LOL I got the flooring at Home Depot, and I must have burned out a few brain cells staring at the different patterns, because all I can remember is that it was a premium grade. However, I'll probably be back in HD today, and I'll get an answer for you. As for what's underneath, it's heavy plywood. The old floor was rotting badly so we took it off....See Morecj47
