Wood vs Tile in a Kitchen which one do you think? I have to decide
Comments (46)In a perfect world, I'd go with wood. It looks great and feels warm underfoot, is more forgiving to the knees and hips, is less likely to break a dropped dish, and ties into the adjoining rooms in such a way that everything looks seamless. In a perfect world, I'd go with tile. It just says "kitchen", is available in so many lovely renditions, cleans up more easily than any other kitchen flooring, and is almost impossible to destroy. However, since we don't live in a perfect world, I'm thinking of plain old-fashioned sheet laminate. My kitchen is small enough that no seams will be necessary, and nothing is cheaper. It's warmer and more forgiving on the joints than tile. It's easier to clean and more durable than wood. I deem it the best compromise of all options....See MoreWhich way to run the floor tiles in kitchen?
Comments (10)Ditto. just checking - that narrow strip is the only entry to an otherwise completely closed off room, right? What is the walkway contiguous with?...See MoreWhich direction to lay 12x24 tile in kitchen???
Comments (2)Yeah, there's not a strict right answer, so you just need to lay a few in each direction and see what you like. I tend to like them going left to right as I enter the room, rather than longwise -- if you're entering from a bunch of directions, then it basically doesn't matter at all. But you could lay a few out in the middle of the U and see if one direction or the other seems preferable to you there, which will be a consistent view....See MoreReplace kitchen tiles with hardwood
Comments (0)We have hardwood floors throughout the ground floor, apart from in the kitchen, which has tile. We had the tile installed a couple of years ago with a new kitchen, but don't like it because it's cold and the edges of the tiles feel sharp underfoot. Also the two thresholds between the tile and wood look messy as the wood is about 2mm higher than the tile. Unfortunately the kitchen cabinets sit on top of the tiles. Is it possible to temporarily move/lift them to install wood flooring? I guess we'd need to remove the tile and also the board underneath. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!...See MoreMay Construction, Inc.
