Best Choice: Vinyl

If you haven’t checked out all of the benefits that luxury vinyl flooring has to offer, you’re potentially missing out on the best flooring option for your kitchen. Vinyl flooring has come a long way in the past few decades, offering a variety of realistic patterns, textures, and colors to make your manufactured floors look and feel like natural materials.

Vinyl is one of the best flooring options for your kitchen because it’s moisture-resistant, stain-resistant, scuff- and dent-resistant, as well as easy to clean and take care of. This means that any spill, mess, or crash that occurs in your kitchen is easy to clean up and no one will be the wiser d. Vinyl is also incredibly affordable compared to other types of flooring. Since it’s manufactured, it’s easier to create and offers simple installation options.

For the kitchen, we recommend sheet vinyl. This type of vinyl is produced in large sheets ranging from 6 to 12 feet wide. This allows each piece to cover larger areas of space without any seams — which makes your floors even more impervious to moisture.

Better Choice: Tile

Another great flooring solution for your kitchen is tile. Tile is available in a variety of materials, shapes, sizes, colors, and textures. Not only is it beautiful, but it offers benefits like moisture resistance, stain resistance, and easy maintenance. Though it’s not quite as resistant to impact as other flooring options, it’s easy to replace individual tiles that are damaged in the event something heavy is dropped on the floor.

Kitchens are a unique area of the home because of how much activity goes on there. In the event of a mess, you want it to be easy to clean up without the risk of anyone slipping and causing an even bigger accident. This is where tile comes in. Since it’s stain- and moisture-resistant, tile is easy to clean up. Grout also adds some traction to your kitchen, reducing the risk of slipping.

If you’re thinking of having tile flooring installed in your kitchen, opt for materials like porcelain or ceramic. These materials are sturdier than other tile materials; are easy to take care of; and are available in a variety of colors, sizes, and shapes. Not to mention, tiles help keep your home cooler, which is beneficial in the kitchen where you use the oven and stove top regularly.

Good Choice: Hardwood

Last, but certainly not least, is a classic flooring type that looks beautiful and works well in most areas of your home: hardwood. Hardwood flooring adds warmth and luxury to your kitchen while increasing the value of your home. It’s available in a variety of wood types, grains, stains, and finishes so you can have a kitchen that’s as unique as your taste.

Hardwood flooring is ideal for open floor plans where the kitchen opens up to other areas of your home. One type of flooring unifies all of these areas for spaces that feel like they go together. Hardwood is comfortable to stand and walk on, offers some moisture resistance, and is generally easy to maintain.

While finished hardwood is the best option to protect against moisture damage, spills should be wiped up immediately. Hardwood also requires certain cleaning materials to keep it in good condition over the years. For the kitchen, we recommend engineered wood planks for better durability against humidity and temperature — two factors that can vary greatly in the kitchen.
