We have had both laminate and hardwood in addition to tile, and we still feel tile is superior in nearly every way. Laminate has many of the same disadvantages as wood. It shows dirt, dog hair, foot prints, etc just like wood, and you also have to be careful with water and other products used on it. No matter how much I cleaned my floors looked bad, and I was always worried about damage, either physical or chemical. Tile is much more heavy duty and durable and comes in such beautiful colors.
