Cork isn't too tolerant of getting wet, though, is it?

So i guess they just put it in "dry" wine then?
Yes i mentioned that earlier in the thread. I seen some installed on this old house. In the show it didn't seem to have many negatives but who knows i have no experience with it.
Just a thought -

It swells in response to moisture; that's why it's a great choice to... umm... cork wine.

Cork isn't an option for me; we have 2 cats and a dog. And it apparently isn't very durable with pets, moving furniture (like scooting kitchen chairs, etc). I am intrigued by the duraceramic and have been doing a lot of reading on it. If we were planning on staying in the house, we would have definitely gone this route. As it stands, we have opted for the sheet vinyl Armstrong logan falls still water pattern. Spoke to our realtor and he recommended vinyl as the kitchen has no upgrades as it is (original cabinets, laminate countertops, etc). He suggested that doing the floor and not the counters or cabinets wouldn't be advisable. And also, redoing the entire kitchen wasn't recommended as the new buyer may not like the pattern, color, style, etc. He advised that we redo the floor with a durable product and leave it at that. I tend to agree - and if we do decide to stay in this house long term, we can then redo the kitchen at a later date and not be out a ton of money if we decide to change the floor.Shawn

Good advise and plan IMO...

Ceramic tile if you are a DIYer type with OCD. Go with the pre mixed thin set mortar. I will never buy the mix it yourself thin set again....not worth the cost savings imo. Also, non sanded grout with smaller spacers between tile is easier to work with.
