Anyone regretted wooden floor in KITCHEN?

Anyone regretted putting wooden floor in kitchen? Have to decide whether or not to put engineered tongue & groove in a small kitchen as well as other rooms.

Currently there are tiles in there which look good and are hard wearing.

Please give me pros and cons ?
Many thanks 😊

God yes. Ours is coming up, fitted wrong and full of gaps

I have wood in my kitchen, but behind the island (where all the cooking/washing up happens) I have tiles as wood gets a bit knackered from spitting fat/water. I like the look of having both!

We didn’t fit ours was already there. It doesn’t wear well and we want underfloor heating when we renovate the kitchen, so it will be tile for us. Engineered floorboards have been brilliant in the hall, but a small kitchen gets a different order of wear and tear.

Old house had it and was lovely - we varnished it and it lasted fine for the 10 or so years we were there and still looked lovely at end. Was solid wood rather than engineered.

This house we have a tiled floor and nearly changed it to wood but were very lucky we didn't, there is a bathroom above it and DS flooded the bathroom and went through the ceiling to floor below. Tiles were fine but not sure wood would have survived.

We had wood in the kitchen and bathrooms. It warped and marked with water and was difficult to keep clean in the kitchen with food spills. We replaced it with wood effect porcelain tiles. They are easy to clean and look great.
