Need help-- sunroom/kitchen flooring

SCBride2007

We had water damage caused by our refrigerator line leaking. It leaked under our kitchen flooring, so we *think* (and hope) our insurance company is going to cover it and replace it. If they do that, we should have quite a bit to work with since our sunroom is connected to our kitchen and it has the same exact flooring. The appraiser/adjuster guy counted it as the same space-- we'll see. Anyway, the flooring that is in these two rooms is marble tile (pink marble. I personally do not like it). Due to it being marble, we were led to believe that they'll be giving us around $10-$15 a square foot to work with.

So here's my question: I really want to put hardwood floors in the kitchen and in the sunroom since the rest of our house is hardwood. Should hardwood be used in a sunroom? I feel like I've heard that it can warp or something. The sunroom is on our second floor (which is our main floor since this is a basement-type home).

If the sunroom doesn't have temp control I would do some research. My concern is hot summer and cold winters and what that would do to wood floors. You may need to do a laminate flooring or do tile.

Humidity is HW's enemy.  Is the sunroom insulated?  Air tight?  Climate controlled?  If you answered no to any of those, put tile in the sunroom.

Use tile that looks like wood. We have it in our kitchen and love it.
