Over time you will notice that your floors start to deteriorate, whether it’s from walking all over it or poor floor cleaners. However, replacing it can be the best thing you can do, besides paying for it to be constantly repaired. In the guide below, we will be talking about the best ways to choose your next kitchen flooring.

Solid Wood

Using solid wood flooring is not only extremely durable but also adds a warm mood to your home that other floors cannot create. However, it takes a lot of hard work to properly care and treat it. But, even if you have a lot of foot traffic in your home, a wood floor can last for a number of years.

 

 

Laminate

Laminate was created to look like tile or wood and is engineered by a number of materials squeezed together. It can take a heavy beating if you have kids or pets and is incredibly scratch resistant, thanks to its internal wear layer.

Vinyl

One of the greatest advantages to vinyl is how affordable it is. Unlike other types of floors, it is easy to install and cheap in price. Plus, it comes in tiles or sheets that replicate the look of wood, ceramic tile, stone, and more.

Bamboo

Believe it or not, bamboo isn’t actually wood, it’s grass. This is primarily why homeowners are so surprised how long it holds up. Due to its density, it can withstand scratches and heavy foot traffic and can last for years under the right care. Not to mention, it is also affordable as well.

Ceramic Tile

No matter what budget or durability you need or have, ceramic tile is a safe bet for any household. You can get it in any size, shape, or color and looks great for just about anyone’s floor.

Linoleum

Easily confused with vinyl, linoleum is a common preference. The floor itself is made from resins, wood flour, linseed oil, and others have become a modern stable in the past 20th century. However, not until recently has it become popular among eco-friendly consumers and designers due to its retro look. It is a perfect style choice for mid century homes and older-aged cottage homes.

Cork

Cork has grown incredibly popular in the past few years. Even though it may not be a look for anyone, it adds a bit of warmth to a home and is eco-friendly as well.

Concrete

Using concrete for floors has changed drastically in the past decades, from basements to living room floors. Even though it may have an industrial look, you can use this to your advantage to add a modern density to your home.

Natural Stone

Whether you go with slate, granite, limestone, or travertine, natural stone flooring is one of the most unique types of materials you can install in your home. Due to the fact that every piece of stone has, it’s own unique pattern, it’s nearly impossible to replicate your floor which can add personality to your home. Not to mention, adding it to your bathroom or kitchen can make it feel more upscale than it actually is.
