You have many options to choose from. The following are some of the best floorings for kitchens: - Sheet Vinyl Typically, sheet vinyl flooring is stain-proof and waterproof, plus it is a snap when it comes to cleaning splashes and spills. It comes in a wide array of styles and colours; for instance, plain Jane and embossed vinyl, which does a great job imitating ceramic tile plus stone. Standard sheets are usually 12ft wide; therefore, seams are minimal. Also, sheet vinyl is known to be resilient, meaning that it feels a bit soft underfoot. This eases fatigue, making hours of preparing food easier. Resilient flooring is also forgiving when it comes to dropping glasses and bowls. If you want kitchen flooring that is affordable, some sheet vinyl types are very cheap. - Porcelain Tile When it comes to good looks and durability, porcelain kitchen tile floorings are the ideal choice. They are an upgraded version of the standard ceramic tile due to the manufacturing process that makes them less porous and harder, which is a perfect choice for any kitchen where spills are likely. Porcelain flooring tile is often fired at high temperatures and end up producing a hard and durable stain-resistant tile impervious to moisture. They come either unglazed or glazed. Glazed porcelain tiles have a glass-like coating made in different colours. Unglazed tiles have a natural earthy colour of clays used in making them. - Hardwood Hardwood flooring combines beauty and warmth, and it's comfortable underfoot. It is a great choice if you've an open floor plan; hence, you would like a single type of flooring extending beyond your kitchen. Generally, hardwood blends durability with low-maintenance. Hardwood flooring that is properly finished resists moisture from infrequent splashes, but you should wipe spills immediately. Also, hardwood flooring comes as engineered wood planks or solid wood. Engineered wood planks come with a top veneer of wood that is strengthened by a plywood layer that makes the planks to be stable plus the flooring to be less susceptible to temperature and humidity. - Cork Flooring If you want an eco-friendly, softer floor compared to tile or wood and slip-resistant, cork kitchen flooring is the ideal choice. Cork Flooring is often made from tree bark harvested every 8-10 years. It is a sustainable material, which means that the bark grows back plus it can be harvested periodically. Cork has a unique waterproof and compressible cellular structure, making it a comfortable and moisture-resistant choice. Cork comes in 1-foot x-3-foot planks and 12-inch-x-12-inch tiles, each having a unique speckle and grain pattern of swirls. The surface is naturally textured, making it slip-resistant. However, cork kitchen floorings have to be resealed after every 3-4 years to help shield against scratches as well as to prevent moisture from coming into the seams between tiles.
