Suitable tiles for a kitchen floor - recommendations please

[FooManChu]

Hi

I will be tiling a large kitchen floor shortly and was wondering what type of tile (ceramic, porcelain, natural stone etc) would be the best sort for a kitchen. Any types I should steer clear of?

Thanks

Anth

For ease of fitting, maintenance and durability I'd recommend you go for a good quality porcelain tile.

steer clear of any type of vinyl tile

porc is probs best, hate to agree with gc but there you have it

personally a good slate looks tip top but can damage easy

Thanks

I was thinking along the lines of a Porcelain as well.
Someone had mentioned a good quality Ceramic tile but I don't know how easy these chip.

Well, don't drop pans on them. Natural stone can look nice but is expensive, not always easy to lay, and is cold on the feet.

I feel sorry for your pain.
