IN ITALY WE USE MAINLY TILES, AND I LOVE IT BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO WACH, THEY CAN'T CHEW IT, AND IF ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, LIKE ON CARPET

Apparently my flooring is a Canadian made product, not sold in the U.S.A.
It is Armak flooring...the "Roxston Collection" in Cappacino Cherry.

Hope this helps. Like I said, we love it. We have even had a party where the next day found a puddle from a drink on the floor and just wiped it up-no bubbling, no lifting.

I believe it retails for $5.99 or so a sq. foot.

We have click wood flooring called PROMO click.

Environmentally friendly
Resists-impact,STAINS,household chemicals,fading,scratching,and burns.

We have this throughout the house with the use of runners and area rugs.It has a nice texture to it so not alot of slipping.

We are very pleased with this product. Laughing

I still live with my parents Confused

, so we have hardwoods mostly, then laminate tiles in the kitchen. If I could build my dream house, I am going to agree with the ceramic tiles & radiant heat (which my dad put in my bathroom & I love) Solves the cold feet problem Laughing

then runner rugs to prevent sliding.

A girl can dream, right??

We just *today* Very Happy

finished laying tile in our living room. I am so excited! But I can already picture Anja & Gracie running full speed down the stairs, hitting the floor, and sliding into the pool table. We'll see how it goes. We're attempting to rid the house of carpet. We have hardwoods (DanniGirl I pm'd you about the finish), but we chose pre-finished hardwoods for the bedroom, hoping they'll hold up to the girls jumping off the bed. It's it crazy - we totally design our homes around our dogs and their needs. We all have some lucky, loved Weimaraners Wink

We put prefinished 1" oak in our house. The factory finish is more durable than any finish you can buy and only cost about 10 cents a square foot more than the laminates.

Tiles with Radiant heat (just choose a darker grout), I've also heard good things about bamboo flooring, just have no first hand experience with it.

I think the slipperiness (if that is even a word) Very Happy

depends on the type of tile. Mine is not that slick. I have radiant heating in the tile in the kitchen and all of the bathrooms. It's great for when the dogs come in muddy from outside, and they love laying on the floor in the winter. It is a great substitute when I don't have the fireplace going for them to lay next too.

can someone explain this "radiant heat" Confused

This is how my friends heat works...I think it's radiant heat...

She has a ranch type house,no basement.

In her slab of cement there are coils running through the cement and in these coils there is hot water running through them.Thus keeping your tootsies warm.Her floor is so warm as is the whole house.Her hydro bill runs about 400.00 per month.
