Got turned on to this stuff, seems legit.. Lots good reviews online.

Half my floors are scored stained concrete, I have about 1500 sq ft need to put something else down on.
Actually it's about 1000, doing ref ceramic in bathrooms and laundry room.
Hallways and bedrooms.

Trying to decide.

A friend of mine recently had these installed. It looks good and is pretty much indestructible, especially with pets.

I'd use porcelain in the baths.

Planning a house right now and have been looking at these type floors. As single tiles, they appear realistic. The deal breaker for me is a prominent grout line.

If they would make tiles with rectified edges that don't show a grout line I would be more likely to install these floors in a new house.

With a grout line they look like porcelain tiles patterned with a wood grain.

They would also be quite loud it would seem.

My dad put rubber wood flooring in our workout/storage room. I didn't know it was rubber until he told me. I dropped Weights on it and you could never tell. I have no idea the price on it.

I like them.

Don't fool yourself, flooring like laminate is no more real than the porcelain.

I have seen it before and it looks pretty much like real wood.

I like this: LINK

I imagine it would be strange to step on it barefooted since it would feel cold instead of warmer like real wood.

We looked at that new stuff.


We went with antique "dirty top" heart pine. It's recycled flooring, but it looks okay.

We pulled up our wood floors and replaced with porcelein a few yrs ago. Awesome finish and indestructable. You will spend major money on this though. But it is a one time expense that adds value to your home.
