Wink No go on unfinished floor

Recently finished design meeting and you are required to have some type of floor covering. I tried to get them to just polish the concrete but no go. Did hear maybe if your paying cash then no floor covering is ok. Rug is the easiest to take out but vinyl is cheaper to buy. Wet areas include the foyer and kitchen so no rug there. We close June 18th and the floor shoppe will be there June 18th to start the rip out of our below grade carpet and vinyl to replace with engineered hardwood. If you choose a wood type with a high Janka rating like brazilian cherry (3 times harder than oak) you won't have to worry about furniture dimples or high heel dimples. The depth of the engineered wear layer will be the part you refinish and the thicker the better also will be more expensive. Your real estate agent can get the answer on your laminate question. Have fun, our design experience was awesome.
