We have both, removed the carper after several years. We installed Mohawk Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring; this is 100% vinyl and completely waterproof. Yes, there is a definite temperature difference to bare feet. This product is installed DIRECTLY over the concrete, NO glue, NO cushion, result a very low-cost installation. Repair is very easy, and if you happen to get a leak THERE WILL BE NO DAMAGE to the flooring. We have had this down for over 3 years with no sign of wear, Also, the material is quiet, tile and many of the engineered wood floors tend to be noisy and you hear a lot of echos, this floor is almost as quiet as carpet. This was purchased at Lowe's and installed by myself.
