What Is The Best Flooring For a Kitchen?

Your kitchen can be one of the most high-traffic areas in your home. From cooking to hosting guests, you want to make sure your flooring can keep up with long-term wear. When deciding which type of flooring to install in your kitchen, you want to make sure that the flooring is water resistant, durable, and easy to maintain while also being stylish. Here are some flooring options that have these features.

Waterproof Hardwood Flooring

If you want the classic look of hardwood flooring in your kitchen, then waterproof hardwood flooring, also known as engineered hardwood, is the flooring for you! Waterproof hardwood flooring comes in the same options as natural hardwood, and is considerably more affordable than natural hardwood flooring. Engineered hardwood flooring is moisture resistant and can handle high-traffic areas, making it a great choice for your kitchen. Although water resistant, engineered hardwood flooring isn't as durable as natural hardwood flooring and can only be refinished a few times during its life span.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Luxury vinyl flooring is the best way to get the look and feel of more expensive natural flooring while also sticking to a budget. Luxury vinyl plank and luxury tile flooring is made to have the look and feel of natural materials, like hardwood and stone, so it comes in a wide variety of styles and colors. Luxury vinyl flooring is water resistant, stain resistant, and scratch resistant, making it the perfect options for your kitchen floor. Cleaning and maintaining your luxury vinyl floors is easy, you can use a broom or vacuum to clean up dirt, and a mop for any harder to clean spots. Although high-quality luxury vinyl flooring can be scratch resistant, it may still get damaged by heavy appliances and isn't always as durable as some other types of flooring.

Waterproof Laminate Flooring

Although traditional laminate flooring is not waterproof, more modern types of laminate flooring are a great option for your kitchen floors. Waterproof laminate flooring is built to look like natural hardwood, making it a more affordable alternative to natural hardwood flooring. The materials used to make waterproof laminate flooring are strong and scratch resistant, making it a great option for high traffic areas like your kitchen. Waterproof laminate flooring is also water resistant and easy to clean, so it will last longer than traditional types of laminate flooring. Although waterproof laminate flooring is water and scratch resistant, it isn't as durable as other types of flooring and not all types are waterproof so you'll need to pick the right one!
