We have constructed a replacement kitchen,(full basement)in our summer place. Construction is styrofoam and concrete with radiant heat in the concrete of the basement and 1st floor. My wife has ceramic tile in our main house but has complained of foot and leg problems since it was installed. Could or would you recommend any other flooring that will withstand low winter temperatures (10 degree)and be more forgiving on the legs?
Answer:
Any flooring on the Canadian market will withstand cold winter temperatures so your options are all but infinite.
Remember, even if you don’t do your own work around the house have to hire someone, you put yourself at a great advantage when you can intelligently discuss a project with the various trades people.
