  1. I have small children and need to put in a new kitchen floor. I realy like ceramic but am concerned about falls on the hard material, I also like hardwood, but have heard it won’t last in the high traffic.
    what would you suggest?

  2. Ceramic tiles would be hard on both your kids and the things you dropped on it. And it can be slippery when wet, which can happen lots in a kitchen.
    Hardwood can be a good kitchen flooring choice, and with some moderate care (sealing it well after installation, regular sweeping, and cleaning up spills as they happen), it will last well.
    Other good choices include linoleum, like Marmoleum by Forbo, cork and bamboo. These are not only made of natural materials but they also are sustainable flooring options. And they are gentle on people and things that fall on them.

  4. Travertine is sensitive to acid so not the best choice for kitchen floors. To help you select your stone flooring check the Marble Institute website; they have a manual to help you select and test various stones for your floors.
    Do be aware travertine is very slick when wet. That may not be the best choice when kids are around.
