Kitchen FlooringThere are many decisions that will have to be made when contemplating a kitchen remodel. Choices regarding countertops, cupboards, appliances, and color schemes will have to be made. One decision that may not be thought of in the beginning is: what type of kitchen flooring is right for your needs? Here are five types of kitchen flooring for you to consider.

Wood

  • Pros: Timeless, beautiful, easily refinished, lifetime of use
  • Cons:  Can become warped by water, easily scratched, not pet friendly

Vinyl

  • Pros: Inexpensive, easy to clean, water resistant
  • Cons: Easily gouged or scratched, hard to repair, low on durability

Ceramic Tile

  • Pros: Strong and durable, stain resistant, easily replaced, easily cleaned
  • Cons: Items will easily break when dropped on it, cold to the touch, grout can be difficult to clean

Laminate

  • Pros: Durable, inexpensive, can match almost any look (ex: wood, tile, stone), wear resistant
  • Cons: Does not insulate a room, cannot be refinished, does not add much to a home’s value 

Stone

  • Pros: Most durable flooring option, timeless beauty
  • Cons: Expensive, hard to clean, slippery when wet
