What floor in a kitchen

After some great help on here with my kitchen quote we have narrowed it down to 2 quotes so nearly there!

So, the floor. It's currently tiled. My requirements are that is is reasonably cheap, hardwearing (we're farmers with kids so the floors get a hammering) and look like (or actually are) light tiles.

I'd been looking at Karndean but am being put off by the screeding and high fitting cost. Is there something similar? OR should I go for tiles?

Thanks!

    And just as good, have it in my kitchen, utility and laundry room.

    Fitter said its now better than Karndean as Kardean quality control has gone down hill and fitters are having to return off size 'tiles'.

    However, it is vital to get a good qualified fitter and you will still need the floor screeded/lined.
  • I have no idea about it but I think you should contact a professional who will be the right person to give you the right suggestion.

    If its for a farm kitchen I would suggest slate as hooved animals can cut though plastic tiling, and dog claws are nearly just as bad.

    THat's interesting about the Camaro. Our flooring fitter had recommended it but the online reviews aren't great. I'd love slate but we're not actually in the farmhouse (yet, we have designs on it ;-) It's a bog standard 4 bed estate house - we're just in and out in between working on the farm!
