Porcelain vs Vinyl Bathroom Tile

[Brian Kraft]

Redoing a bathroom floor in a rental. Price difference isn't huge when considering labor and materials--especially for a relatively small space. But, what are the pros and cons when comparing the two?

I've used Ultra Allure for faux-wood flooring in bedrooms, etc and love its durability. I don't think they offer (maybe I'm wrong) a faux-tile in "ultra," so I'm looking at Allure 12x36" planks (Sedona style). But I'm also looking at 12x12" porcelain tiles. I want something that will last a while in a bathroom, but at the same time--I want a high quality look and feel. I'm suspecting the porcelain will eek out ahead of vinyl in that department, but I've not personally compared them in a bathroom. Thoughts?
