It can look like wood and has absorbent qualities but I am unsure of cost/durability.

I top costed with satin poly to insure durability...but just one coat is needed because the uerathane is a pretty good finish.

And I like to tile my kitchens as it seems more durable and looks clean and nice.You can do a few updates this time around and get feedback as you have showings so you'll know what other updates to do next time it goes vacant. 

I was hoping to shop around but I'm not sure what something equivalent is, does anyone know something as durable or what the general type is called (I'm thinking resilient vinyl planks, but so is the basic Allure)?

What are the best materials and appliances to renovate (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, basement etc.) that are durable and cost effective?

So far it seems ceramic tile is the best compromise between a good looking, but also durable/tough flooring.

Looks great, very durable and have not had to replace.

Also, they will have working knowledge of the durability, sustainability, maintenance, and life span of products.  

As rental I would probably want to use sturdy materials that will be durable and require less maintenance.

I would request everyone to please suggest the most durable products.1.
