Linoleum Flooring versus Plastic Vinyl
I know linoleum is more expensive than plastic vinyl flooring but what are the other differences. I see both in a lot of kitchens.
Linoleum is a much better choice because it is more durable. It is hard to dent and it is less likely to stain.
I don't see as many choices for colors and patterns in linoleum flooring as I do other types, am I just not looking hard enough?
You probably will see less options but they are out there if you just look. It is making a comeback and I expect there to be more patterns and colors available soon. But there still is a lot to choose from even now, go search the internet and find what you like that way.

We are replacing our old floor in our kitchen and we ran across some natural cork flooring. It sounds nice and looks good. From what I understand it is durable and wears well.

I don't know if hardwood floors are the best choice for me to have in my kitchen. I cook a lot and my kids help me so spills happen (often).

Well my husband says it is porcelain tile but whichever one it is I don't like it. It looks good but after cooking and baking my feet hurt, why would someone choose this for a kitchen floor!!

I couldn't believe it when I saw this laminate flooring that looks a lot like the stone I liked. I know it isn't the same but I would be happy with it. My question is how is laminate for kitchens? We hadn't even considered this type before I saw this pattern.

My mom was at a neighbors who had stone in her kitchen, I think it was granite actually. Anyway my mom fell and broke her hip. When we were at the hospital one of the nurses said stone floors were hard on hips.
