Downstairs kitchen and hall flooring

[justpushingthrough]

We are redoing our kitchen/diner and hallway which starts in the hall opening up to a full kitchen/diner set up.

Currently we have large porcelain tiles which i absolutely detest with every fiber in my being, they are a nightmare to keep clean, god help you if you drop anything as it will smash into a thousand pieces and travel far and wide and a drop of water will create a slip and slide....anyways now that rants over im looking for a new flooring to go with my new kitchen

34 m2 of flooring is what we need and i need something thats low maintenance and incredibly hard wearing as we are a busy family with 3 young kids.

Ive been looking at Luxury vinyl flooring and wonder if its actually worth it or if there's better things out there.

Recommendations are greatly welcomes

Also meant to add, its defo the parquet style flooring i want, must be waterproof aswel,

Following this as I have the same issue. Amtico form or signature looks good but I am worried that it might look shiny which I hate. I think Invictus is supposed to be good but I haven't seen a sample of that yet - it is cheaper than Amtico

I've got amtico which I'd recommend - doesn't look shiny, had it over 10years and it still looks like new. Ours isn't parquet style, but they do a huge range. We've got top of the range Amtico in the hall, then Amtico Spacia in the kitchen, both great. Had the bathroom done last year and that's now got the cheapest Karndean, which is fine but nothing like as good as the Amtico imo.
