I'm currently renting in a house with laminate wood flooring (brand new) and with my 2 mostly indoor dogs it's a NIGHTMARE! I hate it! It's hard to clean, the hair sticks to it like crazy and I can never get the water marks off. Tiles were so much better. The worst thing though is the noise. I keep their nails clipped short but the dogs feet make the most annoying sound in the world. As does people walking around. My builder offered laminate and I ran the other way. Previously I thought it looked amazing and wanted to get it. Everyone's opinions are different, but for me with pets I couldn't live with the laminAte. Re: Laminate vs Tiles, pros and cons 18May 09, 2017 10:41 pm bank We went tiles because we don't like the sound of laminate. Solid hardwood is my ultimate dream. Same here, love the look but after going through numerous displays with laminate I hated the sound! Re: Laminate vs Tiles, pros and cons 19May 10, 2017 6:33 pm No excuses in getting wrong flooring for your particular needs, test, test test, homework, has for someone walking continually on a wooden floor knowing their marking it with high heels, one word, arrogant or don't care, it's not mine, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Re: Laminate vs Tiles, pros and cons 20May 10, 2017 7:10 pm In our build we're using tiles downstairs and laminate upstairs. I would of ideally used laminate downstairs as well but I am an avid fishkeeper and if something goes wrong and a slow leak happens or a tank breaks, I'd prefer knowing the flooring not be destroyed. Also we have kids and dogs so we wanted something hard wearing. I'm not looking forward to the grout cleaning but am looking into vacuums that can scrub grout to maybe make life easier, will see how we go with that lol. Having grown up with hardwood floors and having lived a few years in a rental with hardwood I wouldn't personally use them. Scratches, dents, water damage - they look fantastic but IMHO good laminate looks and feels just as good without all the hassle.
