I usually put ceramic or porcelain tile in the whole house and then big dogs are no problem.  

Hello,I need to install porcelain tiles in my house, however, the floor is not leveled.

I have done a lot of tile jobs over the years and will only use porcelain tiles for floors.

I have intentionally removed all other flooring and replaced with hardwood and porcelain tile.

If you're DIY types a granite tile counter and a ceramic or porcelain backsplash is cheap for materials and looks great.Here's a before and after of one of my units.

I've used the standard HD 12x12in porcelain tiles.

I would go with porcelain floors with minimal grout lines.

I understand the my child is porcelain mentality.

You can get vinyl floor which uses a pressure adhesive and the planks do not ship-lap or interlock; this allows each plank to be pulled-up/replaced without disassembling the entire floor.In (converted) houses, I tend towards hardwood (engineered or traditional), a good quality laminate, or ceramic/porcelain tiles (if the subfloor is stable enough).In {older}, stick-built multis, you are often compelled to use soft flooring options (carpet, vinyl, linoleum, cork), particularly in bedrooms and living rooms, due to sound transference.
