Flooring

We are redoing a house and all the flooring had to be ripped up because of animal smells& stains(this is a fore closer we bought hopefully to retire in)anyway dining rm has beautiful med dk hardwood on it, and it is open floor plan,thinking of cork for kitchen, any body used cork? how does it wear? difficulty in putting down? And how about linoleum, I have heard it has come along way since the 60s. Thanks for your time.

Hi, Cork is extremely durable, Chicago’s First Congregational Church has had their floor since 1890. http://www.hardwoodlaminateflooringguide.com/cork-Flooring.html

My sister-in-law had tile in her first kitchen and hated how her feet and back ached when standing on it for long periods of time so her next house she put cork and loves it. It has a finish on it so it does not stain. http://www.hardwoodlaminateflooringguide.com/pro-s-and-cons-of-natural-cork-flooring.html

Friends also ripped up their carpet and put it in their bedroom as they were having sinus troubles. Cork is hypoallergenic as has a natural substance in it that makes it resistant to mold and insects.

Cork is a sustainable environmentally friendly product and has a great appearance.I would phone a reputable flooring store and make sure you have someone that has experience install it.

It is a personal preference of to what you choose, my friend loves her linoleum as she finds it so easy to care for. It looks like tile and I have seen people sitting at her table reach down and touch it. They have very realistic patterns. Hope this helps.
