How to Choose the Best Flooring for Kitchens
To help you narrow down your kitchen flooring options, we’ve put together some essential factors to keep in mind:
· Water resistance: kitchens are the source and the scene of many a mess, from spilled sauces to dripping dishes. Depending on how much usage your kitchen sees, you may want to opt for a water-resistant or even waterproof floor. This can make for easier cleanup in the moment and maintenance over the years.
· Maintenance: some materials simply last longer than others, but a lot depends on proper maintenance. Hardwood floors can look beautiful for decades, but only if you care for them properly. If you have an active lifestyle or a large family, you may want to choose something like kitchen laminate flooring, which requires minimal maintenance.
· Style: our kitchen floors offer the best of both worlds when it comes to form and function. We’re here to help you get the look you’re envisioning with the durability and low maintenance requirements you’re dreaming of.
· Cost: do you have a small galley kitchen or a generous space with a gorgeous island? The total square footage of your kitchen will determine how much material you’ll need. The type of material you choose will also impact the final cost of the project.
· Installation: think about whether you’d like to work with a flooring professional for installation or DIY your kitchen floor. If you choose to tackle the project yourself, look for a flooring material that features easy-click installation.
