Kitchen floors go through a lot of wear and tear. Between spills and drips, heat and dropped utensils, as well as the constant plod of feet, the flooring in this space needs to handle multiple hazards and look good while doing it. Not every material is well suited for this location, and some kitchen flooring options will last longer than others and with less maintenance. Balancing style, function, and comfort is the key to making the right choice.

Here are seven different kitchen flooring options to consider for one of the highest-traffic areas of your home.

01 of 07
Hardwood

Hardwood is by nature a very durable flooring material in most areas of the home. But, for many years, hardwood was considered a poor choice for bathrooms and kitchens, where moisture is often an issue. The perception has changed a bit for hardwood flooring thanks to modern sealers and polyurethane finishes that make the material more durable and longer-lasting for moisture-prone areas.
You still need to have caution when choosing hardwood flooring for a kitchen. Whether it's solid hardwood planks or engineered wood flooring featuring a hardwood veneer, the material will naturally be more susceptible to moisture problems and stains than other flooring materials. Here are a few other pros and cons to hardwood in the kitchen:
- Pros: Hardwood is softer underfoot, it's good for resale value, and it can be sanded and refinished to make it look new if becomes too aged.
- Cons: Hardwood can easily dent and become scratched from embedded grit, it's difficult for DIYers to install, and it's expensive
Hardwood flooring in a kitchen will change and degrade somewhat over time as spills, splatters, and stains occur. But, if you like the personality of a well-used hardwood floor, you may prefer hardwood in a kitchen.
02 of 07
Bamboo

Bamboo flooring looks and feels like hardwood, but it's actually harder than hardwood. Bamboo flooring can look different depending on its color, grain, and pattern. The manufacturing process of turning bamboo into flooring makes the material more resistant to moisture and water damage. Bamboo is becoming an increasingly popular choice for kitchens since it's considerably more durable than wood.
There are three types of bamboo flooring:
- Strand woven: the most durable and expensive solid bamboo flooring, made of pulped bamboo that is pressed and formed into very dense blocks of material and formed into planks
- Engineered bamboo: flooring planks topped by a layer of bamboo and a waterproof coating
- Solid bamboo: processed by bonding sliced bamboo together, this solid bamboo may not be ideal for kitchens where moisture is present
Bamboo flooring can be somewhat more expensive than hardwood. It's also more difficult to refinish because there's no natural grain direction to the material. While refinishing bamboo flooring may be possible, it usually requires the assistance of a professional.

Ceramic Tile

The Spruce / Margot Cavin

Ceramic tile is made from natural clay that's then shaped, glazed, and fired under extreme heat. It's a hard and durable flooring material that's impervious to water and stains, making it an ideal kitchen flooring option. Ceramic tile is also resistant to heat and breakage. Under normal conditions, ceramic tile can last indefinitely with little change to its appearance or function over time.
Ceramic tiles are also available in numerous colors and patterns and can take on the look of other materials, such as wood and stone. Tiles can be made in all shapes and sizes to give you a wealth of design options. If you can't find a ceramic tile in the color or design you'd like, it's perfectly fine to look for its cousin, porcelain tile, which is also suitable kitchen-flooring material, though it can be a bit more brittle.
The drawbacks to ceramic tile are few. It can be hard and cold underfoot. When chipped, ceramic tile reveals its clay color within, while a material like porcelain is consistent throughout. You do have the option of remedying that by installing a radiant heating system beneath the tiles.
04 of 07
Concrete

If you live in a home that doesn't have a basement and your kitchen is at ground level, concrete may be another flooring option. It's an inexpensive and long-lasting material. You may already have a concrete slab underneath your existing kitchen floor just waiting to be exposed. If there's not a concrete slab already in place, a new pour can be done over a variety of subfloor surfaces.
A concrete floor surface can then be polished, stained, or creatively treated in a variety of ways to turn it into a low-maintenance and stylish work of art. Concrete floors are especially appropriate in modern kitchens.
There are a couple of drawbacks to concrete flooring. The material can be hard and cold underfoot, just like ceramic tile. You may not like the unique look of concrete flooring because it can exude an urban or industrial aesthetic, which can be a challenge when trying to sell your home.
05 of 07
Natural Stone Tile

The Spruce / Margot Cavin

Natural stone is one of the most popular, durable, and long-lasting kitchen flooring options available. It signals luxury, and a kitchen with a natural stone floor is often a draw for buyers when it comes time to sell your home.
Different types of stone will have different properties, such as hardness, scratch resistance, and long-term durability. The flooring options in this category include:
- Granite: comes in tiles for flooring and slabs for countertops and is known for its attractive veining and durability over decades if sealed and maintained
- Limestone: a soft and pretty tile typically used for countertops, it's too soft for busy kitchens but can be used for accents in low-traffic areas
- Marble: known for its elegant veining, but polished marble may be easily scratched and stained
- Sandstone: known for its soft multicolored look, it's not the longest-wearing natural stone but does wear well enough in kitchens
- Slate: one of the most sophisticated stones that can last for decades when sealed and maintained
- Travertine: known for its Old World style and textured surface, it's not the longest-wearing natural stone
The drawback to stone is that it is porous and therefore susceptible to water and liquid stain penetration, which is a common problem in the kitchen. An annual application of a quality penetrating stone sealer can create an invisible coat of protection over the stone. Sealers need to be reapplied regularly.
06 of 07
Linoleum

The Spruce / Margot Cavin

Linoleum was a favored kitchen and bathroom flooring option up through the 1960s. It faded from popularity as other flooring options were introduced. Today, it's making a comeback and proving to be a contender with vinyl flooring options.
Made from all-natural linseed oil, linoleum is environmentally friendly, is easy to clean and maintain, comes in a wide variety of neutral and vivid colors, and comes in elegant designs that include borders and insets. If properly cared for, linoleum flooring can last for decades.
Linoleum kitchen flooring is susceptible to damage if it's immersed in water as a result of a leak or flood. You'll also avoid the problem of curling edges if you opt for the highest quality linoleum flooring.
07 of 07
Vinyl

The Spruce / Margot Cavin

Vinyl is one of the easiest and most versatile kitchen flooring solutions. This manmade material is nearly impervious to stains, damage, and water issues. Cleaning it with a quick sweep, mop, or vacuum keeps the floor spotless.
Vinyl is among the most inexpensive and DIY-friendly of all flooring materials to install. It's a popular choice for busy high-traffic kitchens, especially those that see a lot of family use. However, expect to replace it every decade or so, as it wears and fades fast with heavy use.
If you're used to older sheet or tile styles of vinyl flooring, you'll be pleased to learn about LVF, which stands for luxury vinyl flooring. This new generation of vinyl flooring is available in tiles and planks. The high-quality material can last up to two decades and comes in styles that can mimic wood or stone in remarkably convincing ways. Luxury vinyl is often installed in upscale homes.

Best Kitchen Flooring Options Of November – Forbes Home

Renovating a kitchen can be a complicated process. Unlike a bedroom or living room with few built-in components or complicated wiring outside of a TV or computer set-up, kitchens have a lot of considerations; appliances, plumbing, and electricity all have to come together to make the most of the space and ensure that it works safely.

When considering a kitchen remodel, don’t forget your flooring. Flooring should account for approximately 7% of the remodeling budget if you’re tackling the whole kitchen. It needs to be done earlier in the process, too; painting your kitchen walls may come first, but flooring and cabinets need to come before the countertops, backsplash and appliances. While you may be able to DIY some of these, it’s always a good idea to bring in a professional flooring installation company to ensure the job is done perfectly. Pros and cons of some of the most common and best flooring options for kitchens are below.

1. Hardwood

Getty

One of the most traditional options, hardwood is still a popular choice for kitchen flooring today. Although not waterproof, solid hardwoods with the correct finish are water-resistant. Spills should be cleaned up immediately to avoid damage.

Hardwood floors can be refinished to revamp their look, which can especially come in handy if you’re doing a smaller kitchen renovation and don’t want to overhaul the entire floor to make it match the new aesthetic. Like tile flooring, hardwood can be laid in different patterns for added interest. Lately, reclaimed, recycled and environmentally sustainable hardwood has been of particular interest.

Pros

Many colors and patterns available
Easy to update

Cons

Not waterproof
Can be a slippery surface

2.

Tile

Getty

Tile is a go-to option for areas with frequent exposure to water, like kitchens and bathrooms. Ceramic, porcelain and stone tile are all common choices for kitchen flooring options. Tile comes in many sizes and colors and can be laid out in a variety of patterns to suit just about any design theme.

Tile is incredibly long-lasting but in some instances, the grout needs to be resealed to keep it stain-resistant. A DIY approach is not recommended when installing tile flooring.

Ceramic and porcelain tiles are similar; ceramic tiles are even more durable than porcelain. Both are highly resistant to damage, although due to their hardness, dishes dropped on them will likely break, and because of their weight, they are not recommended for a second-story floor. Porcelain, in particular, is waterproof and easy to clean, but tile can be slippery and grout is prone to stains, so any messes should still be cleaned up right away.

Stone tile is more expensive and also requires more upkeep than ceramic or porcelain. With the proper care, it can be as tough as other types of tile and it’s also more likely to be non-slip because of its porous surface. Stone tile used in flooring includes travertine, marble, slate and granite.

Pros

Many colors and patterns available
Very durable
Waterproof

Cons

Can be a slippery surface
Requires some upkeep
Should be professionally installed

3. Vinyl

Vinyl flooring has seen a resurgence in recent years because of the modern upgrades it’s received. Engineered vinyl flooring is now available in tiles and planks that mimic the look of hardwood and stone. It’s completely waterproof, has an almost springy feel underfoot, is incredibly easy to clean and is one of the best kitchen flooring options if you want to take the DIY route.

The biggest drawback of vinyl flooring is that it is softer than other options. Large appliances can dent or scratch it, so use caution when moving or upgrading things in the kitchen.

Pros

Can mimic more expensive material
Waterproof
Can be installed without a professional

Cons

Not as sturdy as tile
Can be dented or scratched

4. Laminate

Getty

Laminate has long been a less expensive alternative to hardwood flooring. Like vinyl, it can mimic the look of hardwood for a lower cost; unlike vinyl, it is not always waterproof, but waterproof versions are now available as well. Also, like vinyl, laminate flooring is a great option for DIY installation because the planks can be attached to one another and glued down or “floated,” allowing them to be put over an uneven subfloor.

Pros

Can mimic more expensive material
Can be waterproof if a certain kind is used
Can be installed without a professional

Cons

Not as durable as other options
Some kinds are not waterproof

5. Cork

Getty

Cork is a relatively new addition to the kitchen flooring market, and it’s another budget-friendly DIY option. Cork flooring can be purchased as peel-and-stick, glue-down or snap-together assembly to look like tiles or planks. Unlike many other flooring options, cork won’t feel cold to the touch, and it has a soft, even springy feel, which makes it a good option for absorbing sound.

Made from ground-up cork combined with resins, cork flooring is available in a variety of gray and brown shades. It resists stains but isn’t waterproof; spills should be cleaned up before they can soak in. However, if it does get stained, cork flooring can be sanded down and then retouched with stain and sealer.

The floor can be dented from heavy appliances, but it has the ability to spring back given time. It can also fade in direct sunlight, so closing the curtains during the brightest time of day is recommended.

Pros

Inexpensive
DIY
Absorbs sound

Cons

Can receive indents from appliances
Fades in the sun

6. Concrete

Concrete flooring might sound too harsh for a homey area of the house, but it’s actually a very durable option for the kitchen. Stained concrete can be styled to look like wood, stone or even tile, and it can be sealed to be almost completely waterproof—although mats are still recommended near areas of excessive moisture, like in front of the sink or dishwasher.

One of the biggest perks of concrete is its price; it is a much cheaper flooring option, and since it can be designed to look like something else, it doesn’t have to look inexpensive.

Pros

Inexpensive
Waterproof

Cons

Not as classic as other options

Kitchen Flooring, Which Floor to Choose for the Kitchen

Kitchen flooring can cause a lot of trouble during operation or quietly serve faithfully for many years. It all depends on the chosen material and the quality of laying the floor. A bad example of is laminate on HDF board without waterproof treatment: after 1-2 years of regular changes in humidity levels, the fiberboard will begin to dry out, the floorboards will creak, and the parted seams will quickly fill with dirt, blacken, and become moldy.

As for the design value, almost all modern coatings - porcelain stoneware, PVC tiles, cork flooring, parquet boards, waterproof laminate, linoleum - are represented by a wide variety of collections with decors for wood, natural stone, matting, with patterns and classic ornaments, and also with thematic drawings. Thanks to this, there is always a suitable decor, it remains only to figure out which floor is better to choose for the kitchen according to technical characteristics and cost.

Basic requirements for kitchen flooring

Moisture resistance. The kitchen is an area with constant changes in temperature and humidity. Therefore, it is very important that the material is 100% moisture resistant, as well as water resistant (without deformation of the floorboards in direct prolonged contact with water). In addition, the joints of tiles or planks should not let liquids into the screed.
Easy maintenance. The flooring in the kitchen is constantly exposed to specific influences: spilled coffee, wine, stains from dyes, household chemicals. Difficult pollution should be removed effortlessly, not penetrate into the structure.
Abrasion resistance, impact resistance. Falling heavy objects - typical kitchen floor damage, the coating must be impact resistant. In addition, it is necessary to choose the right wear resistance class with sufficient protection against abrasion.
Antibacterial, odor resistant. Bacteriostatic - the ability of a material to stop the development of bacteria. The kitchen is a breeding ground for all kinds of microbes, bacteria and fungi, so the hygiene of the flooring will ensure the cleanliness and sterility of the room.
Fire safety. For an area with an increased risk of fire, it is important to choose a fireproof finish.
Durability. Unlike living rooms, the interior of the kitchen is updated less frequently, so the forced replacement of the flooring after 1-2 years of operation is undesirable.
Compatibility with floor heating systems. Floor coverings come in warm and cold surfaces, but it's always nice to be able to control the heating temperature.

Best Choice: Kitchen Floor Coverings

Quartz Vinyl Tile

Quartz Vinyl or PVC Tile - not perfect, but probably the closest floor covering: absorption of dyes, compatibility with underfloor heating (effective heat transfer, but there is also a limitation on surface heating - 26-28 ° C).

Under the vinyl floor you will need a perfectly even base, especially under adhesive PVC tiles, the thickness of which is only 2-3 mm, and all screed defects will be displayed on the finish surface.

✔ Details about the pros and cons of quartz vinyl tiles.

The Polov catalog presents a chic assortment of lock and adhesive vinyl tiles with wood and natural stone decors. In addition, we offer the latest SPC laminate, "pressed stone": flooring on a rigid PVC composite board and a mineral filler, usually calcium carbonate. Due to the rigid base (not inferior in density to porcelain stoneware), base defects are allowed, as well as the use of a warm floor with increased heating - up to 40 ° C. The shortcomings of quartz vinyl tiles have been eliminated without increasing the cost.

Porcelain stoneware

Ceramic tiles are a classic for kitchen floors. With all the obvious advantages - water resistance, strength, wear resistance, a variety of decors, practicality - porcelain stoneware has a number of significant disadvantages: expensive and complex installation (with the involvement of a tiler), difficult cutting, slippery and cold surface, blackening of seams. However, all the flaws are offset by the low cost of porcelain stoneware.

Cork floor

Cork is the choice for connoisseurs of natural finishing materials. Cork flooring is quite expensive (the price is comparable to a solid board or oak parquet), but very practical flooring for the kitchen: elastic, but durable structure, 100% natural material, wear-resistant varnish, a variety of decors (natural veneer or wood or stone photo printing) ), moisture resistance and water resistance, additional sound and heat insulation. At the same time, the floor surface is warm without heating due to the very low thermal conductivity.

All of the above advantages apply only to a glued cork floor: the interlocking variant with HDF in the structure does not tolerate moisture changes and does not blend well with the operating conditions in the kitchen. For laying the adhesive cork, as well as for PVC tiles, a perfectly even screed is required.

Natural wood flooring

Wood flooring is not the best, but it is possible for the kitchen. Three-layer parquet board is resistant to moisture, but only with moderate drops. As for massive parquet, the water resistance is even less due to the natural property of wood to absorb and give off excess moisture. Wood is a pleasure to walk barefoot on: a chic choice for a bedroom or living room, but a more practical material is needed for the kitchen.

Laminate on HDF board

Unless waterproof treatment of HDF base is provided, the laminate is not suitable for the kitchen. Fibreboard is stable only in rooms with moderate humidity: with regular drops, ordinary laminate slowly delaminates, the edges swell, blacken, mold. Even a waterproof laminate, for all its practicality, will not last more than 3-5 years in the kitchen.

Linoleum

PVC linoleum is a budget choice for kitchen flooring. Rolled floor covering is durable, wear-resistant, water-resistant, unpretentious in maintenance, unbeatable in price. However, linoleum is too popular and competitive material: there are many cheap and dangerous fakes on the market. Choosing a more expensive option, it is appropriate to consider quartz vinyl tiles.

Choosing flooring for your kitchen is never easy. After all, the main task of the homeowner is not only to provide the premises with an aesthetic appearance. Floor material must meet a number of requirements. And in this case, the price is a significant, but not the only factor influencing the purchase decision. What to choose for the kitchen? Ceramic tile, laminate or linoleum? Or maybe there are other options? These are the questions we are trying to figure out now.

Ceramic tiles

Ceramic tile is one of the most popular materials for arranging floors in the kitchen. This is a strong, durable cladding with a number of positive characteristics. She has a pretty good presentation. Ceramics resistant to moisture, aggressive effects of fat, steam, household chemicals. This material does not conduct electricity. Indeed - a classic design of the floor in the kitchen.

Almost everyone knows about the advantages of ceramic tiles. Only few people pay attention to the shortcomings of this coating. And he has weaknesses. And they also need to be taken into account.

Price. Karmic tiles are almost always more expensive. This applies to both the purchase of the cladding itself, and installation. For its installation, it is required to buy additional adhesive solutions, a tool for installation, and order the services of craftsmen.

Difficult to install. The process of installing tiles requires the involvement of professionals. This is a complete repair with mixing solutions, splashes on the walls, dust. The curing process of the adhesive solution is quite long. The result is not always "perfect".

Cold surface. Ceramic has excellent thermal conductivity. In this case, the absorbed heat passes below - to the rough screed. The tile itself always remains cold. There is, of course, a solution to the thermal problem. You can organize a floor heating system. But the cost of such repairs will increase significantly. In addition, energy bills also do not decrease.

Slippery. The tile slides and that's a fact. This property, when the surface is moistened, only increases. Even if the tile has a matte surface, it still does not have sufficient anti-slip properties when wet. Therefore, it cannot be attributed to an absolutely safe coating.

High surface hardness. Due to the high hardness of the surface, any drop of glass, porcelain, ceramic dishes is likely to be damaged. It also causes an increased risk of injury to humans.

Low maintainability. If a tile is accidentally damaged, it is almost impossible to restore it. You need to change the fragment to a new one. This is accompanied by a complex process of dismantling the damaged element and preparing the site for a new one. If you don’t have a “replacement” left in stock, then finding exactly the same tile is often very difficult.

Ceramic tiles do have many advantages, but also many disadvantages. Therefore, you should always consider other, alternative flooring options for the kitchen before buying.

Kitchen linoleum

In the list of competitors of PVC floor tiles, linoleum takes first place. This is an objectively high quality suitable flooring that has the most affordable price. Easy to install even by non-professionals. Such material forms a seamless coating with high presentability. Manufacturers offer linoleum for the kitchen with an assortment of patterns, which allows you to decorate the floor in any design style.

The advantages of linoleum stand out:

moisture resistant;
dielectric properties;
resistance to aggressive effects of grease, steam, inertness to cleaning agents;
does not absorb odor;
Due to the felt backing, increased "softness" and "warmth" of the floor is provided.

Among the shortcomings can be identified not so high durability. The service life of household linoleum is usually 8-10 years. But during this time, you yourself may want to “refresh” your kitchen with new flooring.

Moisture resistant laminate

Moisture resistant laminate consists of several layers. The basis is high-density chipboard or HDF. The property of resistance to moisture is given to the laminate by pasting with special resinous paper and applying wax to the surface. The material not only resists moisture absorption, but repels moisture. It demonstrates excellent performance and provides an elite appearance. In the kitchen, this flooring will look simply gorgeous.

Moisture resistant laminate is a floor material that:

exactly imitates natural board or parquet;
can be made with any pattern on the face;
has a pronounced moisture resistance;
has an affordable price;
is easy to install and maintain.

Quartz vinyl tiles

Quartz vinyl tile is another low-cost alternative way to bypass all the hassle of installing ceramic on a kitchen floor and provide great results. The product is made of PVC, in which quartz is introduced. The mixture is pressed. A protective layer of polyurethane is applied to the formed fragments.

Such a floor material provides excellent aesthetic and operational properties. Quartz vinyl tiles:

can imitate any natural materials, such as parquet or natural board;
resistant to temperature, chemicals;
has high wear resistance;
has anti-slip properties;
quartzvinyl moderately soft and resistant to damage;
does not lose its presentability from ultraviolet radiation, does not fade;
is suitable for floor heating systems.

PVC tiles (vinyl tiles)

Another alternative to ceramics is vinyl tile. This product is made from virgin PVC. This is a non-toxic material. It does not emit odors and is absolutely harmless to human health. Similar PVC floorings are available in any design. Their surface can imitate natural materials in texture and color, have an identical texture (relief).

In recent years, it is PVC tiles that are gaining great popularity both among manufacturers and consumers. The explanation for this is very simple. Vinyl tiles for the kitchen:

has a very reasonable price;
highly decorative;
easy to install and maintainable;
does not slip when wet;
is warm and can be used with floor heating systems;
has high strength and surface wear resistance;
absolutely moisture resistant;
resistant to fats, household chemicals, heat.

Vinyl tiles are available not only in a wide variety of colors, but also in shapes and textures. This material is produced in the form of square, rectangular fragments, in the form of a board or in a hexagonal design. There are PVC floors in the kitchen with locking systems. Assembling them is reminiscent of putting together a puzzle and will not be difficult even for a non-professional.

Vinyl wicker tiles deserve special attention. It will look great in the kitchen. It is produced from thin PVC threads by the method of their interlacing. It turns out something like a carpet. It looks very impressive, naturalistic and quite original.

Output

The choice of floor materials for the kitchen is quite large. The market is constantly updated with new products. They are gradually taking away the monopoly from ceramic tiles. In terms of properties, durability and quality, alternative coatings are absolutely not inferior to ceramics. In some cases, they even outperform it. So why not move away from the classical worldview in favor of progress, choosing not what everyone has, but what you really like?
