I use porcelain tile from the same store (Floor and Decor) for $.79 per sq. ft.

For flooring, I recommend going with porcelain tile.

Home Emporium also has excellent prices on porcelain tile, countertops, etc.  

Flange bolts secure toilet but it is important that they not be tightened to much or porcelain could crack.

If it is in fact real Linoleum...from Armstrong: floor care: http://www.armstrong.com/resflram/na/linoleum/en/us/fc_list.asp maintenance: http://www.armstrong.com/resflram/na/linoleum/en/us/article18262.html Ofgift, now living with 18" creamy Italian porcelain ceramic tile instead...

The ones we used are made out of composite decking.I agree, if your balcony deck us lumber or plywood, you will likely have too much flex for ceramic, porcelain, or stone tiles. 

That 20" porcelain Tile I use in kitchen/bath/utility areas.

Only thing that will is a cast iron or heavy steel with porcelain finish.As to the window the best is raising a small one clear to the ceiling. with NO ledge of any kind for bottle setting. 

Porcelain tile is very tough and cleanable, but will cost more to install.

Through-body porcelain tile costs barely more than ceramic for the materials, the same for the install, and is far more durable.
