I really like a vinyl I found, with a thick cushion backing, which would make it easier to walk and stand on because it's being laid on a cement foundation, but I'm concerned about the durability.
Please share your experiences with laminate and vinyl flooring.
How much rough treatment is the floor going to get--------will you be shoving tables around or moving chairs a lot. Laminate can chip and crack, but vinyl can get cut.
If durability is the issue, chose laminate.
If warmth and comfort is a big issue, maybe the vinyl is the best choice
