My first time posting in this section and from a quick skim read it seems like most people are doing things well above our budget level (!) but worth a shot I thought.
Basically due to a leak we are replacing all our downstairs flooring, the kitchen and downstairs loo are currently covered in (fairly crappy) Lino. The insurance company will pay to replace the Lino but we can upgrade if we wish. I don't love the look of Lino, it generally looks cheap imo. I love the look of tiles but a) hate the cold feet effect (no underfloor heating) and b) hate that things break if you drop them (not to mention the risk of the tiles breaking) - we have a toddler and a baby.
I was under the impression that laminate isn't suitable for areas where there will potentially be water but have recently seen mention of laminate in kitchens etc. I don't think we have the budget for hardwood, whether that's suitable or not.
I don't have an exact budget in mind, we have some savings to improve the house so it depends how much better than Lino it is as to how much we feel we can pay...
Any advice? Thanks!!
