[QUOTE="Lil, post: 735055, member: 17309"] I like ceramic also and we tiled (though not wood-look) the kitchen and dining room several years ago. Sadly, the independent installer we hired (husband of a former coworker) did a terrible job and it's cracked and the grout is all out of it...terrible. you can actually look down and see the subfloor in places. :mad: So, when we FINALLY redo the kitchen, we're getting the luxury vinyl plank that looks like wood. I do think half the problem with our floor is the ceramic is just too heavy...the floor has movement and that cracks the tile. The flooring guy should have known this. Anyway, vinyl is light, does NOT scratch, doesn't have water problems like wood and laminate do, and the better new stuff looks just like hardwood! Plus, it's warmer and softer than tile and Jabber and I should be able to install it ourselves since it's a floating floor like laminate. I really want my kitchen... :frown: [/QUOTE]
