The draw back with wooden floors is that they are vulnerable to water damage. Infrequent minor spills are not a problem, but in areas where continued exposure to water occur such as around the sink or dishwasher, the floor may warp and buckle. Resilient flooring is what was once called linoleum. Most resilient floors are vinyls made with a moisture resistant backing that makes them suitable for kitchens and baths. They come in all prices with the most expensive sometimes surpassing the price of ceramic tile.
Vinyls are durable, easy on the feet and very easy to maintain.
Ceramic tile, marble and granite come in a multitude of colours, shapes and sizes. They are beautiful but hard on the feet. Fragile items dropped on these surfaces will very often break. These floors also create a very noisy room. Ceramic tile that has been glazed during firing is almost impervious to stains and marks.
