If you’re ready to shop for kitchen tiles, then you must know what types of floorings will suit your kitchen the best

Are you thinking of remodelling your kitchen? Kitchen’s have been the most focal part of a home, since not only goes around the place, but a lot of time is spent there. Also, because of all the activities that go around the kitchen, the flooring needs to be built in a way that can tolerate all the high foot traffic as well as the spills and splatters. 

Other than that you need your kitchen to look good, without breaking the bank and by also suiting your personal style. Considering all these crucial factors, we have come up with some great flooring ideas for your kitchen, that you and your family are going to absolutely love! 

The kitchen flooring criterion

There are certain things you need to keep in mind before getting a new kitchen floor;

• Durability: Your flooring should be able to suit your lifestyle. If you have a big family where meals are made in the kitchen often, then you for sure need a kitchen that can withhold a lot of damage. So, if someday a skillet falls on the floor or there is a spill, your kitchen floor should be tough enough not to get completely messed up in the process. 
• Water-resistance: Most people do not consider this factor. Your kitchen faces a lot of water and juice spills occasionally, it’s just not the bathroom that needs to be made in a way that it can tackle water. Getting water-resistant flooring for the kitchen is a great idea to combat any water-related issues. 
• Scrubbable: Your kitchen needs to be easy-to-clean because that place is going to become a mess every now and then.  
• Suits your style: Just because you need to build a function kitchen, doesn’t mean it needs to be out of fashion. Your kitchen deserves to look good as the rest of the house, so when the guests come over, their jaws drop the new floor! 

Let’s give you a virtual tour of all the materials that you can use as flooring that are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing, let’s get into it! 

Sheet vinyl

• Over the decades, sheet vinyl has only become more popular and even better, for all the right reasons. Sheet vinyl has great water-protection qualities as compared to stick-down tiles because there are no cracks or seams through which the water might seep through to the sub-flooring.

And for the busy kitchens, vinyl sheets also have wall-to-wall spill protection. If that’s not enough, then you should even know that Vinyl flooring does not get cold in the winters! So, you are going to have a cozy kitchen all year round.

• As for cleaning, vinyl floors need minimal care; just regular sweeping and mopping will do the trick and if you are feeling extra, just grab yourself a bottle of special vinyl floor cleaner, and you will be good to go.  

Porcelain Tile 

• If you are focused on durability, then there is nothing better than porcelain tiles. Making of porcelain tiles is done in such a way that they become highly damage-proof.

You can get them in a variety of colors and sizes to pick whatever fits your aesthetic best. However, we recommend that porcelain tiles can be too heavy and you should avoid using them in a second-floor kitchen. Otherwise, all else is good!

• They are reasonably easy to clean with an all-purpose floor cleaner. You can regularly mop and sweep it and other than that, you might need to seal it with grout every four years to keep it as good as new. 

Stone Tile

• Adding a one-of-a-kind ambiance in your kitchen, you can always go for a stone tile for your kitchen. Depending on the type of stone you chose, you would need a professional kitchen floor installers to do it for you. 

Stone tiles are anti-slip due to their porous texture. Moreover, you can pick from a lot of earthy color tones that fit your taste and design. There are many options available that you can choose from,  some of which are travertine, slate, marble, and granite. To clean it you would need to use soapy water regularly, and you will have a fresh kitchen floor.
