Flooring opinions when looking at houses

[vavavroom]

I see a lot of example of modern stairs with wood or even glass treads and I wonder, how many people have slipped?

Carpeting really adds to a secure footing on stairs plus it cuts way down on noise.

I want to hear them sneaking up on me. Creaky floors are a safety feature. Traditional Japanese "homes" were built with extra-creaky floors aka Nightingale floors.

I love LVP

Some of the higher quality offerings really do look good. Even so, I'm not a big fan.

Looks great but requires regular sealing because of the porous surface.

We had it put at the entry to our house with the talevera risers. Love the Mexico / Spanish look. Have been to a lot of places in Mexico the nicer areas even if not exactly tourist spots so my views are pretty skewed.

Carpet laid over original hardwood floor. That way I can rip it up and have nicely preserved, old build hardwood flooring.

Exactly. And preferably old growth narrow grain hardwood floor. Anything made after WWII isn’t worth it.
