hard tile vs. resilient wood:
will a cork or similar underlayment under tile ease the hardness of tile on retired legs, especially in the kitchen area. we are planning 2500′ all tile floor with radiant heat.
thanks,

wayne, Since all things are probably possible, I suppose the quick answer would be yes. However, normal grout would crack w/any movement of the tile. However, I have demo'd a 1x1 ceramic floor tile that had a rubber grout. The tile came in ftxft sheets and had the rubber grout already applied. Spose if you could find that, it might work. It came out of a 50's bath. Might no longer be available. You might have to see if a cork floor would hold up w/underfloor radiant. Is this going over concrete?
*Wayne, how about a cork floor? We are also putting in radiant heat, and are planning on a kitchen floor of floating cork planks. Cork is also available in tiles, in a variety of patterns and colors, and it's a comfortable floor to stand on for a length of time. Here's a link to a flooring forum thread on cork- http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/flooring/msg0913411923998.html?11 Cami
