<p>Igloooo…your subject asks about brick vs wood floors…but then in post 15 you say “no wood”. If that is the case, and those were your only two choices, you’ve answered your own question. Go with the brick.</p>
<p>I will say…we had a friend with a brick floor in her house many years ago. She absolutely hated it. It was cold, always looked dirty, and anything dropped on it shattered into bits. It was also very hard to stand on for any length of time. Even after she got it sealed, it still sucked up things like oil (or butter…from dropped toast, for example). She eventually had it taken out (not cheap) and put hardwood tongue and groove floors with a fabulous and hard multi-coat finish. She had a golden retriever. The key was to make sure the dog’s nails were kept trimmed. She had the kitchen floor refinished every five years or so…but really it probably could have gone longer than that.</p>
