I have the "resilient tile", aka vinyl, in my river condo and also in my industrial building. In the condo, we used a vinyl tile that looks like ceramic tile and also wood that came in strips that looks pretty good. Installation was a breeze and the wood strips accommodated the uneven base floor. It's also really easy to keep clean....guys always bringin' in sand from outside...sweeps right up and a light mop...we're done. Then, in my industrial building, we used a resilient tile that looks like ceramic also...everyone thinks it is ceramic, but it's not as hard to stand on.....oh yeah, one more plus NO GROUT!!!!. I hate cleaning grout....
