You might look at the vinyl planks made by ALLURE sold at Home Depot. I am putting this throughout my house and have been impressed so far. It has a 25 year warrantee and is waterproof. There are many colors, wood looks to choose from. I have an upgraded style from the collection and have had many compliments so far. Fairly inexpensive and very easy to put down.
