What is the Best Flooring Option For My Kitchen?

Kitchen floors take a lot of abuse: heavy traffic, moisture concerns, chairs around islands or tables. When looking for flooring that will perform well in high-traffic conditions, consider the materials below:

• Luxury vinyl—Available in wood looks (3” to 7” wide planks) and tile and stone visuals. The tiles can sometimes be grouted if desired, and are available in a variety of sizes, including 12” x 24”. The technology being utilized creates extremely realistic patterns and textures. Luxury vinyl is an extremely moisture-resistant floor, very durable and stain-resistant, and most are rated for commercial use. The majority of styles have attached backings, which add warmth, cushioning and sound-deadening properties.

• Laminates—Very scratch and indentation resistant, making it perfect for busy, active households, especially homes with pets. Laminates mimic wood in popular high-end looks like wide planks, exotic species, whitewashed, oil-rubbed and even distressed looks like wire-brushing and hand-scraping.

• Tile—A popular choice of flooring due to aesthetic appeal, durability and easy care. A properly installed tile floor will outperform and outlast any other floor covering product created for the same application. There are wood-look tiles that have great realism if you don’t want a traditional tile look. Do consider slip resistance; a textured tile is recommended.

• Wood—There are some wood floors that are better suited for kitchens. Not indestructible, but certainly more durable. Some features to look for include wire brushing, character grade, distressed, low gloss/matte finishes and oil-rubbed finishes. Expect these practical floors to be on the upper end of the price scale.
