Wood-look porcelain tile or Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring?
Comments (53)I vote for floating, click, wood look, luxury vinyl plank. I especially like the style with knots and chatter marks. Lay it throughout the whole house, on the diagonal, with no thresh holds. That's what I did. I can clean the entire house in approximately five minutes with an electric leaf blower. Porcelain tile is more durable however it is more expensive to buy, more expensive to install, and more expensive to uninstall. Also, some tile is extremely slippery when wet whereas wood grain LVP is not slippery at all. Five years later I am happier than ever I chose grey driftwood luxury vinyl plank for a house with dogs, kids, beach sand, and lots of wet feet. If the house gets inundated from storm surge and ocean water gets inside, I can unclick the LVP, clean and dry the subfloor, and then reinstall the same LVP and it will look as good as new....See Morewood floor or luxury vinyl plank?
Comments (3)Absolutely agree with Jan - LVP is just plastic - I don't even think it can go over real wood. Put the REAL thing in your kitchen and refinish to a different color if you must....See MoreInstalling Luxury Vinyl Plank next to Porcelain Wood Tile??

Comments (1)Yes, in general the higher mills = more durability. As you have a thicker top surface to protect against indentation or scratches. Here's a white oak laminate that you may like. I've recommended this product as an installer for clients who were initially looking for vinyl. The reasons why I like to recommend it to my customers: 100% waterproof (submersible for 24 hrs) and has the highest durability rating possible (AC6 - which means it is recommended for heavy commercial applications). The high durability and moisture resistance lends itself favorably to be a recommended "pet proof" product. On the other hand, SPCs are also a great alternative to vinyl planks as they are more rigid in nature and tend to be more durable (most of them you will notice will advertise "petproof" as a selling point)....See MorePatricia Templet
