Re: cork vs. ceramic tiles

[Guest guest]

i put laminate flooring (looks like hardwood) in my bedroom, & i can tolerate

that pretty well, i think....and i KNOW its better than the carpeting that was

in there. (keeps the dust down, etc.) the less allergens....the less problems,

the way i see it. (but what does yours truly know, lol?)

[] cork vs. ceramic tiles

which do you suggest?

i must replace a nasty carpet. Which is preferable, cork or ceramic? i know

they are both expensive so, if I have other choices, please let me know. This IS

an expensive illness as we are all aware.

also, what is the glue we can usually tolerate? I read about it somewhere.

thanks.

ps. Feeling more human today so far. thanks everyone for being a few typing

fingers away.

the absolute safest is ceramic tile with plain nonadditive portland cement used

under and as the grout.

people can generally tolerate elmer's glue.

Laminate contains formaldehyde, etc. and if Pergo flooring in other areas of the

house bother you that is the possibility that laminate will as well. Not

everyone is sensitive to chemicals, etc. but it could be an idea to err on the

side of caution.
