i have a new apartment just over 1k sqft, looking to replace the current tiles with a wood look flooring. a quick search showed sooo many companies doing it, all claiming to be the best or most experienced. plus there are so many types of flooring, thicknes, and even underlay material. firstly which companies would be best to use (i dont mind paying a bit more if the work and material quality is good). 2ndly what material should i go for that looks and feels like wood, easy to maintain and can withstand water spills etc. plus any other considerations? any help to refine my search would be much appreciated.

ya i think lay on top. what is the minimum thickness floor that will last long and feel good to walk on? also i just went to floor depot and they said all their flooring is waterproof. but youtube say all these floorings only water resistant, not waterproof coz moisture gets thru the seams.
