Re: hard wood or tile

personally i rather tile in a kitchen... i feel that wood is too absorbent.... could just be a mental thing.... but i wouldn't worry so much if i dropped oil etc on tile...

Re: hard wood or tile

I have wood floors in my kitchen and I love how it looks- plus its so much easier on your feet when you are standing for a long time

eta- its also super easy to clean- no grote lines!

We had a rather substantial leak last year from our washer and it didnt damage the floors at all- as long as they are finished and have enough poly-urethane on them, you'll be fine

We put hardwood floors in our old house and I loved the look. Never had any problems with them whatsoever.

Re: hard wood or tile

I'm a big tile fan for kitchen. I have hardwoods in my formal livingroom and diningroom but my front hall, center hall and kitchen all have tile and I love it. I think with 2 kids and a big dog it would have been ruined by now. For us it's just more practical...
