Hello!
We're in the middle of a refurb and we're looking at flooring options for a large combined kitchen living room space (8x8m). The entire area will have underfloor heating, so we can't use "real" wooden flooring. So we're considering either tiles or engineered wood flooring. We prefer the look and feel of engineered wood, but have heard there are potential issues with denting, water penetration and swelling that would make it unsuitable for a kitchen. A search on the web offers super conflicting advice so would really appreciate knowing what your views are. What did you have installed? What would you change?
And if you went engineered wood - can you mop it? Did you go for a super thick top layer?
Thanks!
