What do you think of the tile that looks like wood? I am having either hardwood or that tile put down this summer and a neighbor got the tile - she can clean it with a steam mop, unlike wood. It looks great - have you seen much of it? I’m wondering how it wears compared to wood

If you are referring to the wood pattern glazed ceramic tile, it will take a lot more punishment than wood-I only put real wood where it won’t get too much hard use or traffic-like a bedroom, or the like-even with 3 coats of urethane, it is not as easy to clean as tile or laminate.

There is some light oak woodgrain laminate in this place, and it actually looks and wears well-we also put it in both my contractor compadre’s bathrooms and breakfast area awhile back. It isn’t as inexpensive as tile, but is less than wood. It installs easier than tile or wood, too...
