Laminate which looks like real driftwood throughout the entire hoise. Looks and feels exactly like expensive wood. Easy to clean with a Swiffer. I wouldn’t change it ever!

We have whole house tile. I do love it. It hides dirt very well, but I wish we had the tile that looks like hard wood. To me thats the best of both worlds.

We have tile in kitchen, bathrooms & lanai. Live in a villa & just had the carpet ripped out & installed vinyl plank flooring which is waterproof, scratch resistant & has a superior psi (pounds per sq inch) rating. We have a dog & he has adapted knowing he can no longer “zoom” around the house! We love this flooring bought & installed by Stick and Stone Flooring Co., 405 N Main St, Wildwood. 352-399-2682. So easy to run a large dust mop or Swifter around & can mop with vinegar & water. Very pleased with the flooring & Stick and Stone Flooring Co.

I just installed Pergo Outlast laminate throughout my whole house, (except bathroom). It's the best flooring I could find for $3 s/f or less. Well worth it. Even my wife loves it, now that's saying something.

It's insanely durable, practically scratchproof.

Looks and feels exactly like real oak wood. It's textured and even the edges are beveled like real wood.

Very easy to install.

Much more water resistant than most laminates.

I actually submerged 2 small pieces in a bucket of water for 48 hours. Removed them and let them dry for a day and they look as good as new. I could see no evidence of swelling at all. Pergo actually recommends it for the kitchen.

We had our tile grout stained darker and sealed three years ago. The grout still looks new, and all we ever do is wash the floor. Well worth the money to do this.

Alexander Tile & Marble did the job.

I love my laminate. I would spend the extra $$$ and use an experienced flooring person tho. if it is too "cheap" it will not withstand the humidity in florida

We have porcelain tile throughout with white grout. I use a Hoover floor cleaner machine that scrubs and vacuums the dirty water simultaneously into a holding tank. My grout always stays clean. Using any type of mop will only make the grout dirty.

How long have you had your Hoover cleaner? I'm looking for something like this for our whole tiled house. Read the reviews and some have said the machine doesn't last very long. Just curious.

If you spend a lot of time in your kitchen cooking or baking do not get tile. Some of us are getting older and standing on tile for long periods of time will make your knees and back ache.

We've had tile in our kitchen since 1987, and my knees and back don't ache. I am, however, thinking about getting one of those "rubber" kitchen mats--the longer one--because the dog sits at my feet and drools while I'm getting his food ready. I'm hoping he'll drool on the mat so I can see it better & clean it up before walking in it. I also think the mats feel very good to your feet.

Don't use laminate in the bath or kitchen: if you have a water leak, the whole floor is done in. Tile is permanent but, yes, it can crack if something heavy is dropped on it, so keep a few extra tiles in the garage and some matching grout. My entire house is tile, with a few small area rugs, and I love its easy upkeep: no worries about water damage, pet damage (we have cats), staining, etc. But you do have to seal the grout - going with a dark colored grout is highly recommended; that's almost carefree.
