It's an option. I've used Forbo Marmoleum in my old flat's bathroom and know plenty of people who have it, but I'm not convinced for a large kitchen floor. I feel it shows up dirt quite a lot can scratch/scuff in my experience. Also shows up every minor flaw in the subfloor if it's not totally perfect.
Also not actually that cheap inc installation - Cavendish deVere calculator is around £160/m2 and that's before removal of the old tiles.

At some point we want/need to redo our kitchen, luckily I'm related to @dbr but at present he doesn't do flooring.
We currently have hideous 500x500mm tiles with a printed concrete/distressed effect so they will need to be changed. 4x5m kitchen with wet UFH.
What are the options and approx costs per m2? Ideally want something that is cost effective, child friendly, very cleanable/stain resistant, doesn't show up dirt to badly, modern ish/clean look.
I remember there was some chat on here about concrete floors, microcement etc. Local library has concrete floor with aggregate in it that I really like, but I think I read on here it may be too hard.
Suggestions please!
