Common Area Flooring for Apt Building Recommendations
I'm looking for recommendations for the best type of flooring to install in the common area entry ways of my apartment building. Currently the entryways are an eye sore with 1980's tile and I'm trying to figure out what material would work best. They are in the midwest so I'm concerned about snow and salt. I also want to make sure they hold up for at least 3-5 years. What have people used that has worked best from a safety standpoint, as well as an aesthetic standpoint?

Vinyl plank flooring all the way ! It's very affordable and durable, and comes in every style imaginable and extremely easy to install or replace a piece if it gets damaged
