If just a veneer floor, like pergo, the wood flooring is much easier. Neither are really hard, just hard on the back and knees, but so is life. So, get to work on whichever one you would rather have.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you mean hardwood flooring, hammering

flooring is much easier.
Neither are really hard, just hard on the

Too many people are afraid to try things. Don't run out and hire a professional. Niether is hard to do. Tile requires the purchase and intall of backerboard first, the rental of a tile cutter, grouting, cureing, etc. (many more steps than hardwood). However, laying hardwod requires the rental of a radial arm saw, and a hammer floor nailer. Hardwood is slightly harder work and requires more upkeep. Tile is always preferable in the kitchen where there is a higher risk of water damage. Wood is nicer in a foyer, dining or living area. Good luck and ask Yahoo Answers for help along the way whichever you choose.<br><b>References : </b><br> I disagree with shaker. Too many people are afraid to try things.

Don't attempt either unless you have done them before!<br><b>References : </b><br> Both require experience, since they are permanent floors. Don’t attempt either unless you have done them before!

Just make sure you put down lines to follow. If you're going to do wood flooring I would make sure you have the finished kind. That will save a lot of labour and a few dollars too.<br><b>References : </b><br> Having done both I would say tile is easier to install. Just make sure you put down lines to follow.

If by tile, you are referring to single-piece Vinyl Laminate, then it is easier than placing individual pieces of hardwood flooring. However, if by tile, you mean individual pieces of tile, then both the wood and tile are just as difficult. The wood lasts longer, and with a nice stain, gives an expensive-looking floor. Wood is generally preferable for resale purposes as well. Besides, you don't have to worry about potential buyers not liking the color of the tiling you have laid. Good luck whichever way you decide.<br><b>References : </b><br> That depends.
