[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would look at cork, depending on your dog's tendency to claw. If you cook a lot, cork is much, much more forgiving on your back and joints. [b]People who recommend tile are probably not spending tons of time standing in the kitchen[/b]. It's really hard to match wood, some wouldn't even try. Cork comes in complementary colors and is used in many traditional European kitchens. Plus, it's a green material and not that expensive.[/quote]

You have no idea how funny this statement is. :-) I recommended tile up thread. People have different feet, joints, fitness levels, and comfort levels. Tile is terrific for durability and maintenance, but it's true that not everyone finds it comfortable, although a throw rug or a mat can go a long way.

It all depends what your priorities are. Know thyself. We are a very messy family and cook a lot, so maintenance and durability is key. If you cook in a very organized and genteel fashion, as opposed to like the Swedish Chef, you'll probably be fine with something like wood or cork.[/quote]

No professional chef recommends tile floors.[/quote]
