The floor covering in our kitchen is shot. My wife is not crazy about ceramic
tile, plus, the subfloor would have to be removed to make room for the height of
the ceramic tile.


What are modern alternatives to tile? Linoleum? Recommendations?


I like sheet vinyl. *No seams (or very few, if your kitchen is large)..


The kitchen is a place for utility. *While it can also be attractive,
the foremost
consideration is cleanup.

Agreed. *Kitchens have spills, even if there are no kids around. *Too
many people put flooring in kitchens that are not suitable for a wet
environment.


We have one-piece vinyl now for the last 10 years, still looks good,
and if you spill something, or the dogs laps water out of his dish,
you don't have to rush to clean/pick it up. Wouldn't consider
anything that was not one-piece to cover the entire floor. Of course,
if you kitchen's smallest dimension is more than 15 feet, you may be
in troubleG
