I have Jerusalem Limestone and I love it!

Most of us arrent so masochistic to want a surface that stains and etches, so a good quality porcelain tile with epoxy grout is just about as easy to care for as sheet vinyl without the negative connotations come resale time.

It depends on the flow of the house and what is being used.

In cold climates, cork or solid hardwood are great for 'warm' feeling floors. In warm climates tiles are wear the best. Laminates are OUT! Vinyl tiles/planks are acceptable for wear but moisture issues can occur with the LVT products that have HDF cores.
