Best Ideas for a Kitchen Remodeling of Your Floor

Embarking on a kitchen-remodeling project can be intimidating task. Starting with floors can have many drawbacks. For starters, installing the floors throughout the kitchen, even under the cabinets, wastes flooring materials. Floors are a beautiful addition to your home during a kitchen remodeling project. All kitchen floors should be durable and easy to clean, but some households are tougher on their floors on a more frequent basis. The most important decision when thinking about kitchen flooring ideas should be the function of the flooring.

The kitchen is a high-traffic area, prone to spills ranging from water to oils, dishes and wine. You want to look for kitchen flooring materials that are low maintenance and can withstand use over time. A family with a 1.5 kg chihuahua, for instance, won’t be as hard on a floor as one with a 90 kg male great dane.

Similarly, the floors in a household with many active children will likely take more of a beating than those in a kitchen belonging to a single senior.

Choose Bamboo


As the name suggests, bamboo flooring is made from… bamboo. It has emerged as a popular alternative to hardwood flooring – praised for being strong, durable, and naturally resistant to insects and moisture. It’s also largely considered to be an eco-friendly choice. Bamboo flooring that is of high quality will wear as well and last about as long as traditional hardwood floors. (Of course, as is the case in every industry, the “high quality” characteristic is key.) In particular, un-carbonized bamboo can as strong, hard, and durable as red oak, and certain strand-woven bamboo can be even harder.

Choose Vinyl


Vinyl flooring is able to reduce noise while providing a comfortable underfoot. Unlike other flooring types vinyl flooring provides a nice flexible padding and is referred as a resilient flooring choice. Vinyl flooring is a good choice for your kitchen remodeling especially for a large family home. It is incredibly durable and resistant to dirt and damage so it will withstand the pressures of daily life and ease.

Choose Concrete


Concrete can be a beautiful, low-maintenance and sustainable option for residential kitchens. Concrete flooring is tough. While it’s possible to scratch or chip a concrete surface, you’d have to work pretty hard at it. A sealed and properly maintained concrete floor can last indefinitely. Concrete can be mixed and set to achieve an endless variety of color and textural effects.

Choose Hardwood


Hardwood flooring, with its unmatched warmth and visual appeal, is a great choice if you want to create a look that never really goes out of style, giving you a good return on investment if you ever sell your home. Hardwood is very versatile. It is just as happy in an ultra-modern kitchen design as it is in a traditional farmhouse kitchen remodeling project.

The kitchen floor has a pretty tough job, having to take muddy shoes and spilt milk in its stride while still looking fresh and stylish. So choosing the right material for your space and lifestyle is crucial. From classic stone and wood to practical porcelain to slightly more edgy resin and concrete, there’s a dizzying array of options to choose from, all with advantages and disadvantages.
