We have an open-plan kitchen in our future house. The living area will have solid hardwood flooring. At the wood store, the salesperson mentioned that it is also possible to install hardwood flooring in the kitchen without any issues, which would definitely look much better than a separate tiled area. Who has had hardwood flooring in their kitchen for a longer time and can share their experience?

This just shows that they didn’t handle it properly and that the wood couldn’t withstand the requirements of a kitchen, which are different from those of a living area. Carpeting in the kitchen would wear out even faster than hardwood flooring; this step doesn’t make sense to me.@Mycraft: Carpet runners were laid to cover up marks, whereas at another colleague’s place the runner is there to prevent any marks. I also wonder why all the effort was made with the floorboards...!
My hairdresser dropped the balsamic vinegar—her husband is a carpenter...

Chris251124 Dec 2019 13:40We have not yet decided on the flooring for the open-plan kitchen and living area. I would also prefer hardwood flooring, but we can only install a maximum thickness of 10mm (0.4 inches). Does anyone have any advice? Additionally, we will be having a dog with us, a 30kg (66 pounds) mixed breed.

nordanney24 Dec 2019 14:0710mm (0.4 inches) parquet thickness or total installation height? Engineered wood flooring starts at 10mm (0.4 inches). Plus adhesive, so the total build-up is thicker.
Why not more than 10mm (0.4 inches)?
By the way, the dog doesn’t care about the flooring.
As long as the wood is reasonably hard, the dog won’t be an issue for the floor either (recently had oiled oak with a Bernese Mountain Dog – no problems).

Carpet runners were laid to cover the marks, while at the other colleague’s place they were laid to avoid any marks altogether. That was clear from your explanation. Hence the sentence: "one cannot handle it," meaning just put a carpet over it.

I visit many houses, but so far, I haven’t been convinced by wood in the kitchen anywhere. When I read here how great it supposedly is, the contractors are probably right about us.
