I am replacing the carpet in my living room. I do not want more carpet. I have pets (dogs & cats) so I want something that can stand up to alot of traffic and use, but easy to keep clean and can handle the occasional accident - spills, etc.

Laminate is the cheapest way out but nothing compares to a good hardwood floor. Today's finishes are extremely durable. Even the cheap ones at Home Depot and Lowes are very good. The only investment you can make in your home that will add double its cost to the resale value.

i really do agree with the person that said do the laminate floors
is easy to put down and the keeping of it is easy to.and the clean up after the dogs or pets is easy to get up fast
they also have the no glue kid it's very easy to lay and it's ready to go with you if you should want to move.
that's me Theo

Hi . I would love to give you this link from Consumer reports August 2006 issue. They did a comparison on floors. Or see if you can get the mag.

I have tiled floors, and when I clean, they look spotless. I LOVE them! I also live in a warm climate.
