They make something that looks like tile, but is put down like a
laminate floor now. We have used this laminate floor in the kitchen and
dining room. We used the laminate tile in front of the patio door. Not
much chance of scratching this stuff....but, it is a pain to keep
clean.
The cleaner that you buy...wants you to. "MOP-RINSE-then DRY"!!! It
always looks smeary.
The laminate tile is MUCH easier to take care of than the laminate wood
floor! They both require that padding, tho.
