Is this a crazy idea for kitchen flooring?

5 years ago

Due to my increasing concern about potential water damage to hardwood flooring, I'm considering doing the strip between island and kitchen wall in wood-look porcelain (or other water tolerant flooring).

We will have an open floor plan and will have hardwood throughout. Just thinking maybe it makes sense to do this one 10' x 3' stretch in a material that would not soak up H2O.

Yes, I plan to do a carpet runner to absorb splashes regardless, but am thinking having a non-wood flooring in the kitchen's main splash zone might help me relax!
