The kitchen, most probably, is the busiest area in your home. You or someone else will be there preparing food from as early as 5 in the morning to as late as 11:30 at night. If you have kids in the house, you will also find them there frequently, getting or storing treats in the refrigerator.
Aside from the pressures of being stepped on quite frequently, kitchen floors are also very susceptible to spills, sauce drips, and other little accidents. Because of this, there is a very big need to choose kitchen floor materials that are durable enough to withstand the constant onslaught of such pressure.
There are many options on the market, that’s for sure., and almost all of them promise durability and value for money. To help you make the right decision, we present here some of the most effective kitchen floor materials.
But before we talk about kitchen flooring, it is important to emphasize the importance of securing home owner insurance by Allstate or any other reliable and duly registered insurer. The kitchen is going to be susceptible to water pipe accidents, and the insurance plan is going to be of great help in paying for repairs if ever there is a need for them.
Yes. You read it right. Concrete. Some people shy away from it because they think that it’s too basic for something as important as the home’s kitchen. What they don’t realize is that concrete actually does wonders when applied right. There are also a lot of treatments that you can do to it to enhance its look. One is stamping, another is staining, and there is also waxing.
Concrete floors are preferable for kitchens because of their inherent durability. They reportedly have the capacity to withstand all the pressures of even the busiest kitchens. In fact, the kitchen floors of many restaurants are made of concrete. They are also very easy to clean. You just take out a damp or wet mop and you are good to go.
If you are the type who likes to have the earthy vibe, then having natural stone for your kitchen floor is a move that fits you. This material is perfect for hot kitchens because it naturally has a cooling effect. In fact, it is recommended to add sub-floor radiant heating systems if you live in colder climates so that the stone doesn’t get too cold and start causing problems.
You just have to very careful with stone, though, because some variants such as limestone stain quite easily. Because of this, there is a need for sealing and regular resealing after that.
Porcelain tiles are also great options for kitchen floors. Porcelain is known for its durability and is also said to be very easy to clean. There are just a few things that you should take note of if you decide to really go for porcelain. It is going to be a lot more expensive than ceramic, which is also a common tile material. Also, porcelain slabs easily turn cold in the absence of a fully functional heating system.
