Ask:
We are looking into redoing the flooring in our kitchen, laundry room and kids bathroom. I like the look of tile, but I HATE, HATE, HATE grout.
So, we have been researching luxury vinyl. Anybody have it? Any thoughts? We are looking at Mannington Adura Tile and Nafco Tile if anybody knows anything about those products.
Answer:
what exactly is luxury vinyl? Is it luxury because it looks like tile? or is it the material?
We just put real linoleum in our entryway and bathroom and we LOVE it!! Real linoleum is lightyears better than vinyl because it is a natural product. Vinyl flooring lets off noxious gases over its lifetime and therefore isn't an ideal product. But real linoleum is all natural (flax, and some other stuff, I think). Check out Armstrong products - sold all over the world. The linoleum we chose is dark red and has a marbled look to it and is really fantastic!!
Answer:
We just put vinyl floating floor down in our kitchen and bathroom and I love it! It comes in 4' sections and we did it ourselves. It's got a 20 year waranty, too.
Oh, and we had company last weekend that thought it really was tile until she got down and felt it.
