What's better for a bathroom/kitchen flooring, luxury vinyl plank or tile like limestone/porcelain?

Tile. If you're a landlord, maybe lvp.

Amazing! I'm going to rip up tile, hardwood, and carpets everywhere I go so more people can enjoy this miracle product.

If they could make 9x9 linoleum tiles a floating floor, then I might be swayed over. We'll just stay hush hush about the asbestos though.

Not him, but why wouldn't you be able to make 9x9 flooring floating? I thought that was industry standard.

Vinyl is more durable, water-resistant, and easier to maintain. Don't be afraid retard.

Lvp is more waterproof than most grout jobs.

tile if your structure can hold it.
my understanding is that every step on LVP throws micro plastic into the air, good for a new build or massive remodel; that dust will stand up better than skin cells.

None of those mean anything if you actually read the warranty. I've worked in flooring sales and not once have I ever seen a manufacturer honour these bullshit claims.

In reality, LVP is only good until your next flood, which is like every 2 years for the cardboard homes in North America.

When I see LVP, it means this is either millennial home flippers or a hair salon.

Lvp is better than laminate for longevity and holds up to commercial traffic really well. That's why we used it in our office. Tile cracks when stuff is dropped and is harder to replace. Hardwood is expensive and a bitch to care for. Laminate is vinyl but worse. The only thing you should do if not doing LVP or tile is just epoxy coating the entire slab.

Vinyl sheet flooring is really good too

Polished cement is too dusty.

Lvp just feels better to walk on barefoot, I live in a cold climate and hate how cold tile floors get, also it’s not as hard so glass and ceramic doesn’t shatter instantly if you drop a cup or plate, but really it’s all just your own preference
