Porcelain tiles or wood flooring for kitchen/living reno

Hi


Would appreciate any advise re flooring - we are renovating to open our kitchen/dinning/living area (north facing). The rest of the house has Kauri pine floors (we aren't touching those) but were thinking of either concrete look porcelain tiles or wooden floors for the new section.


Think the concrete look porcelain will look good and define the new from the old part of the house and give a slight industrial look, however thinking we'll need to get underfloor heating with those. Wonder how much the actual underfloor heating will cost to lay (around 45 sq mtr) and then to run for the winter months ? Of course it would be lovely in sumer.


The option is to go with timber floors (no underfloor heating) which I understand will cost slightly more for materials/laid initially but not much, but that we wont need to heat in winter. In this case we'd probably chose a different wood, not so much match the Kauri throughout rest of the house.


Thanks Cath
