We're beginning the process of building and I love timber floors and polished concrete but I'm not sure of the pros and cons of both. I want a floor that requires minimal effort (lazy?). I don't want visitors to have to take off their shoes and I have grand children.
I'm worried that concrete floors are TOO cold and the concrete may crack at curing stage therefore leaving me with unsightly cracks in the floor for ever more. Timber concerns me because of the terror tales of dents and scratches and not allowing people to wear shoes inside etc.
I'd love opinions from people who have either type of flooring and either love or hate it. Thanks
