So.....basic tract-home tan carpet is done. This is our 2nd go 'round in 20 years and I'm ready to put down something nice.(r) I really am a fan of carpet as it's a fantastic insulator and cozy in winter, etc. BUT.....wife would much prefer hard flooring. So my thoughts.........
Wood-like tile (we did one of those full-on tile bathroom makeovers with the one-piece glass showers w/ seat, niches, etc. so I dig tile)
or
Engineered wood (I hear there are good ones out there but don't even want to start to look if somebody can steer me straight)
or
Something else? (hybrid something or another?? Bamboo? etc.?)
It's a So Cal home w/ slab-on-grade and yes, being in earthquake country is a consideration but our bathroom's done well over 5 years so nothing to not commit over.
ANY advice much appreciated. TIA
