About Kitchen Flooring

Is vinyl or laminate better for a kitchen?

Both Sheet vinyl flooring and laminate floors can be great options for the kitchen.

Vinyl is naturally water-resistant and highly durable, so it stands up well against common kitchen spills and stains. Additionally, vinyl flooring comes in a range of patterns — like herringbone, mosaic, parquet, and stone tile effect. Therefore,  vinyl  is a perfect flooring choice in busy kitchens.

While laminate flooring isn’t naturally water-resistant, there are waterproof ranges you can install in high-moisture environments. However, if you’re looking for a more cost-effective wood flooring option, laminate makes for a great choice.

What is the easiest kitchen floor to maintain?

Kitchen vinyl flooring is the easiest type of flooring to maintain. Vinyl features a natural water-resistant design. This layer makes vinyl flooring more stain-resistant and easy to mop up without the risk of damaging the floor.

What’s more, vinyl flooring is easy to clean. To keep vinyl looking like new, just give the floor a daily sweep or vacuum, and mop as and when needed.

Waterproof kitchen laminate flooring is equally as hardwearing, though it does come at a higher cost. You will find that most modern floors are easy enough to maintain. But kitchen lino or vinyl kitchen flooring is typically the easiest.

Should kitchen floors be lighter or darker?

Whether you should choose lighter or darker kitchen flooring is largely down to personal preference. However, there are some practical considerations you will want to take into account when it comes to kitchen flooring.

Darker floors create a bold statement and can give the room a warm, luxurious makeover. Darker flooring can also cover up spills and dirt, making them popular in family kitchens. On the flip side, darker flooring for kitchens will show more scratches than lighter-coloured floors.

Light kitchen flooring creates a bright and spacious look, making it ideal for smaller kitchens. You can use lighter colours to create both traditional and contemporary styles. It’s worth noting that there is a risk of going too light and giving the room a colder, clinical feel. Light wood effect floors are a popular choice, as are subtle colours like light grey.

Light-coloured kitchen floors are best paired with darker counters and worktops. This pairing creates a beautiful contrasting design, adding style and character to the room. If you want to test different combinations, try some free flooring samples first.

Can you use lino in a kitchen?

Kitchen lino flooring is a popular choice for those seeking value for money. Not only does lino come in a huge choice of styles, but it is also highly durable. Sold by the roll, lino is easy to install. Additionally, lino can withstand wear and tear, spills, splashes, and stains much more effectively than solid wood or stone floors. 

If your kitchen must contend with high levels of daily foot traffic, vinyl kitchen flooring may be a better alternative. LVT floors are more durable than lino so they perform better in high-traffic areas.

What is the most affordable kitchen flooring option?

The most affordable kitchen flooring is lino. However, you can find affordable options across all types of kitchen flooring. Luxury vinyl flooring for kitchens comes at a higher cost than lino. But vinyl generally lasts longer, giving you better long-term value for money.

When making your kitchen flooring choice, remember to consider everything from style, budget and daily wear and tear.
