Ceramic tile or vinyl tile for kitchen?

[John S.]

Hello everyone,

I have a triplex that I'm going to be doing a full renovation on. I'm planning on using Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) throughout each apartment, and was wondering if I should switch to Porcelain tile, LVP, or LVT in the kitchens and bathrooms?

My only issue with traditional porcelain tile is that grout can start to look rough with age, meanwhile LVT wouldn't ever need to be re-grouted.

What would you guys recommend with this being a rental unit?
