buntanner,We have tile in every store. Yes it cost more than carpet but not in the long run! It also looks much better, much easier to clean and will last forever. We even have tile baseboards. Bring out the mop!

I have carpet in all three of my stores now. In the future tanning rooms will be tile, halls and lobby carpet. I like the look of carpet it looks rich but in the tanning rooms it's to hard to keep clean.Steve Miller

One salon in my area has hardwood floors. How does everyone think these would compare to tile? I would think it would more expensive and a little more upkeep.

I have tile in my rooms with pretty area rugs in each for people to step on. I like the tile because it's so easy to clean and when it's waxed it looks fantastic

I would think the hardward would be beautiful, but maybe not wear as well as tile. I plan to put tile in my next location, and really is isn't as expensive as one may think. Depends on where you purchase it and if you are handy you can lay it yourself. Luckily my husband is in the construction world and what he can't do his employees can... good for me, huh?There is a place in Crossville, or Cookville, that sells tile very reasonable. It's an outlet type store.

We have ceramic tile in all of our rooms and hallway. When they get dirty and smothered in lotions and foot sweat, break out the mop and some disinfectant. What do you do with a carpet that has had years of spilled lotions and smelly feet trampling over them. You can't break out the steam cleaner between every client. I wonder which is best? My vote is for tile!
