The house I'm presently renting as I await my design appointment has vinyl flooring in the kitchen and I rather like it. It is extremely easy to keep clean and has a nice springiness to it. I think vinyl flooring is of better quality with more options these days. I would appreciate any thoughts on this.

We just had our recently purchased pre-owned stripped of carpet, tile in foyer, and vinyl in kitchen. We are putting vinyl planking throughout the house and putting Armstrong Alterna in the bathrooms and kitchen. It is a high grade vinyl tile, which is sooooo much warmer than tile and easier on the feet too. Plus the grout for vinyl tile doesn't need to be sealed like regular grout for tile.
Won't see it until late next Monday night, but a friend (Don and Kaz) went by last week and said what they had down LOOKED GREAT.
Go with a good brand, like Armstrong and you won't be disappointed. We went with Village Flooring in Fruitland Park (based on a strong recommendation) and couldn't be more pleased with the service. It's is a small company and the installers are employees and not contracted out, which we were told to avoid. Oh, and they even moved the toilets so they could run the tiles under them both and replaced the wax seal rings as well. I liked that kind of customer service. If you'd like more specifics, just PM me.
