My New Stove

I love it!!! Can I ask why you went with individual pieces of vinyl tile instead of a roll? Just curisous.

We were looking for something was was extremely durable. I was actually looking for something like you see in the grocery stores!!! Our contractors had laid this in the church that they went to and really liked it so they brought a square over for us to see. My husband threw rocks on it and did all kinds of things to it to see if it would last. With my husband being a farmer we have lots of dirt and my floors really take a beating! The vinyl fooring I had at my last home had little cuts from dropping knives and wasn't in good shape at all so we wanted something that would last. I do have some scratches on the floor from rocks getting underneath the bar stool legs and then dragged across the floor and I noticed a little spit that that's peeling (my husband dropped his pliers on the floor and it made a spot) but that's not too back for 9 years!! The only places where I have carpet is my living room and the bedrooms. All the rest of it is this flooring and I have a lot of it!!

Cost wise it was more expensive than tile to buy but was cheaper to lay than tile and if we ever have to we can replace just one square, like tile.

But why the individual pieces? Is it so you can replace just a piece instead of the whole floor? Do they make a heavy duty type in a roll?

Can you tell I'm wanting to do some different things around here? I like getting advice from ones that actually know, have it, or are researching also.

I'm thinking right now of a type of laminate in my living room and down the hall. Not sure yet. I do like that vinyl tile idea.

You should check into the Pergo floor covering. It looks like a wood floor and it's not too hard to put down. It would be so easy to take care of with you puppies and would look so much better than a vinyl floor.

I've heard of Pergo, so I will definitely check it out. Guess I should have read the last line of your post #16 and I would have known.
