A follow on query to the post below on carpets for IPs. I personally like the idea of polished floorboard, although I have reservations about potential damage (moving furniture, cigarette burns etc.), and resultant maintenance costs.
Which polished floorboard material/type is appropriate in the eyes of the experienced forumers?. Seems like installed cost can vary from $45/sqm to well over $100/sqm, depending on what you choose.
What about tiling (terracotta lookalike, laid at an angle for nicer visual effect)in the downstairs living areas?. Might be best from a maintenance point of view, but do tenants in general take to it?
thanks for all the great contributions on this forum.
