What I mean is.......


real hardwood flooring, being made of oak, as compared to laminate, simulated woodgrain over vinyl. Ceramic tile, having been fired in a kiln with a glaze, etc.  Don't get me wrong,  some vinyl products are great.(I'm not bashing).

 I, (personally) don't like the  sound of shoes going over a padded composite with a wood design on it.  I've seen them peel at the ends. I'd rather spend money once than have to 'redo'.

 I gutted both bathrooms here.  They are now all ceramic tile.  Yes, they have both advantages as well as disadvantages. Hardwood floors are finished now with finishes which need very little care/upkeep. 25 years ago, I put white (I KNOW) Karastan wall to wall in my room. There is NO wear to it at all. If it were now,  I'd do it differently.  But, a good Convertible and an occasional Hoover steamer, and it's like brand new once again.
