It appears only Mannington has it in sheets, but in vinyl, not linoleum.

Personally, I like the look.  But we had it once in vinyl tiles with a textured surface and it was the devil to keep clean, especially the white tiles.  Our new hardwood floors have been a God send.  Am now trying to decide on flooring for a small kitchen in an apartment for one of my kids, for which I have to have an eye for resale.  Here are my choices arranged in order:

1) Hardwood. Would last a very long time; seems the most expensive option.  May raise the floor too much; contractor seems against.  (Suggests pergo--no!)

2) Ceramic tile--picture below.  The grout can be dark enough so it's not hard to clean but am wondering about the comfort and dish breaking factors.

3) Mannington black and white checkerboard vinyl sheet as described above.  Should be cost effective and easy enough to replace if it doesn't work out out well or for resale if need be.

The search for the perfect kitchen flooring seems as futile as the one for the perfect kitchen cabinet counter top.[/quote]

European PP here again. I love the tile in the picture you linked. [/quote]
