We live in CA, we have 2 large dogs.
We advise against the retailer said it is too cool in winter, bad for knees

All suggesions.

Thank you

Granite will last very long. However, the granite must be specially sealed, unlike the tiles. I recommend you watch the waterproof version of the granite you want to see if you still like the color of it after it is sealed. It is cool in winter, especially if your home is a concrete slab foundation. Like any hard surface, granite can be hard on the knees and feet. It will also probably a good bit more expensive than many other flooring options you choose. One last thing, it can also be more difficult to clean the floors and other surfaces as a function of surface roughness is the size in common, etc. You should ultimately go with what you like best we must keep these things in mind when you choose what you go with.

We had ceramic tile installed in our kitchen. I hate it. Grout is difficult to clean and it is more difficult to knees. I suppose that granite is the same way. Also make sure the granite is not smooth where it could be slippery.

I prefer the porcelain tiles in a diagonal setting. It is very easy to clean.

Use a darker colored grout. The color should resemble the tone of the soil around your home. You have two big dogs that you know what comes with the territory. There is a difference between clean and spotless.

If chips of porcelain tile, it is virtually undetectable to the difference of ceramic tiles. It costs more, but if you plan granite, then the cost should not be a problem. The maintenance of granite is not extreme, but I would not use in areas with heavy traffic.

The use of rugs in the kitchen where you stand reduces the stress on your body.

Granite looks absloutly gorgouse in kitchens and corridors and dining room! It seems incredible!
