ᐅ Kitchen: Vinyl Flooring or Tiles?

What do you have? What is better? Advantages / disadvantages?

We don’t have underfloor heating.
In the kitchen, there is one east-facing window and one large north-facing window.
The house was built in 1974.
There is no ceiling insulation in the basement yet.
The heating room (oil) is located under the kitchen.

Tiles feel too cold to me without underfloor heating, but in the kitchen, they are also the most durable. I prefer vinyl.

I had tiles installed in the kitchen. Since there is underfloor heating and I had the old, additional radiator removed, this ensures the best possible heat output.
Pots generally don’t fall, at least that hasn’t happened so far, so the risk of damage is low. I believe porcelain stoneware tiles are quite durable. A dropped knife should be manageable. If necessary, I have some spare tiles as backups. A potential downside could be the hard floor if you stand in the kitchen for a long time.
In my previous kitchen (rental unit), I had traditional vinyl flooring with a wood-like appearance. I had the impression that vinyl somehow attracts dirt almost like magic.

Vinyl is definitely a good alternative to tiles, especially since there is no underfloor heating installed.

I was almost tempted to go with this design flooring (I believe it’s vinyl) – it somewhat resembles parquet and feels as soft as firm modeling clay.
