Ceramic tile. You get a good ceramic tile and it wears incredibly well
and yes it is more work to install, but we love our floor. Ah, just
don't drop anything on it. If you drop a glass, it is toast cause that

Scott,
Will it do anything to the tile, if you drop glassware on it?
And, how does it clean up?
Are there perferations or holes in the tile, where dirt and grime can get
through, thus making it more difficult to clean?
Thanks.

I grew up in Michigan where it snowed a lot, but seldom drifted a great
deal. Even now, in iowa, when snow falls and settles thick on the
evergreems, we call it a Michigan snow.
I lived for a few years in Kansas, and now in Iowa, and have learned how
hard packed drifted snow can be.

Storage space below the washer and dryer to elevate them higher to use. The
space will be used for many storage needs. A table for folding cloth and a

The cheapest is probably the peal and stick vinyl tile. Real easy to put
down. I have seen it for $0.19 per square foot. You can use vinyl tile
glue and it will last longer. Simple to put down, and simple to maintain.
You can find that snap together flooring pretty cheap as well, but I don't

Michael, I redid my wife's laundry room a few years ago.
We put in a free standing plastic mop sink, which she really likes. It is
deep enough that you can get a mop bucket or five gallon bucket in it for
easy filling, and is also fairly inexpensive.
We also put in a five foot counter top with

White grout is a pain to get really clean. I hear stories all the time about

I like a good porcelain tile. If you can do the work yourself and do a little
price shopping the price isn't bad. But it is important to lay cement board or
the new fiber board down first. If you go that route, be sure to get class 4
or 5 in the tile.

Not Scot, but a good quality class 5 can take a lot of punishment and the
porcelain tile as a higher glaze to it.

I do think it is advisable to buy a few extra squares of the tile for any
possible later repairs. I have a tile with a broken place on the edge in my
entrance way and I do wish I had a matching one to replace it with. I do not
know what happened there, but the tile is really nice looking

What color is your grout? Do you have trouble keeping your grout clean?
And did you use a grout sealer when you installed the tile?
