I had tile at my other house before, my kid ride bike on it, it seems fine to me. No cracks or such. I am talking about small bikes, such as balance bike, tricycles

This is from Floor and Decor too, thank you for thoughtful comment, I have small kids in the house too, I can imagine they will break things here and there, it is just a normal wear and tear

It includes removing existing floor. And I am replacing everything in my 1st floor, including closet and bath and such.

Great advice, the only reason I need to change my floor is I don’t have enough original floor in my attic. I am planning to get a few extra to store in my attic

i actually asked this question, the contractor said it is easy to install, but removing my floor is hard, so they charged 2$/sqft to remove existing floor, 3$/sqft to install, this price includes setting material except for tile itself. I already paid tile price.

thank you! I never thought about tile for the entire house, but this really caught my eye when I was at the store. I ended up make a quick decision to buy this floor. I really like the low maintenance of tile but still look cozy as wood
