Hi All,
What are your views on engineer floor boards and wood look alike tiles on ground floor encompassing hallway, living area and kitchen?
Am looking to build a new dwelling and it is intended for living in. While I am for wood look alike tiles, my other half favours engineer floor boards. Hardwood is likely out of our budget.
At some stage in life, the property will be put up for sale. Therefore would like to survey others on their view.
I was thinking of putting in laminated flooring in my house, but ended up tiling the entire place. I don't regret it. Super easy to clean, no worries about spills, looks as good now as it did five years ago, and will probably still look great in decades time. I did manage to slightly chip one tile by dropping a heavy metal object on it, but replacing that tile wasn't too bad either.
At some stage your wood floor will gather enough scratches that a sanding and repainting will be required, probably in 10 years time or less.
The floors are cold in winter but that's what slippers are for.
