So, what types of flooring are best for kitchens and why? Those are the exact questions we are going to answer here.

Wood Parquet

A wood floor is a viable material in kitchens. That is a great option for people with open-floor plans who wish to use the same material in adjoining living areas. Also, wood adds a sense of timelessness and warmth that suits any style, from urban loft to cozy cottage to traditional home.

Ceramic tiles

Ceramic flooring is the category with most selections because they are highly durable and fairly inexpensive. You should elect large pieces if you want a more seamless look with fewer grout lines. It is easy to clean and doesn't harbor germs. Many homes, especially in warm climates, use tile to great effect in living areas and bedrooms, too. In other words, you really can't go wrong with tile.

Marble stone tiles

Marble, quarried in mountainous regions around the world, has been a very popular building material for millennia because of its 100-percent natural material. It will require regular maintenance and has its unique timeless look. Marble stone has a sort-of translucent quality that lets light penetrate the surface and give off a glowing quality and a really beautiful effect.

Laminate

In case you want to achieve the look of hardwoods or natural stone tiles without spending a small fortune, laminate is the best choice for you. There are many new options in laminate that can closely mimic stone and wood and many other floor materials. It is also very durable and easy to clean. 

Linoleum

Linoleum flooring looks great because it easily maintains the pigments throughout the thickness of the material which helps camouflage scratches and dings. Linoleum is inexpensive floor material that can look good for decades because it is made from different natural materials and minerals what makes it Eco-friendly material. This material is water resident with non-fading color which is a great choice if you have small children or pets. The most importantly it has low VOC, which stands for Volatile Organic Compound which causes respiratory health problems in vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems.

Deck Floor

It gives a vintage organic look that can be easily combined with any other types of decorations or materials and is resistant to issues like rotting and insects. Apart from that it is very easy to maintain and suitable for the families with kids or pets because of its non-slippery structure. 

Vinyl

This inexpensive floor material is perfect choice for the families who live in higher apartment floors. It is very comfortable under foot and reduces the noise which nowadays is one of the most important factors while equipping houses. Vinyl is very easy to install and maintain and it can imitate

many different kinds of floor materials and still would look beautiful and last
