Kitchen Flooring

Engineered Hardwood Flooring

If opting for hardwood flooring in the kitchen, choose engineered hardwood over solid hardwood. Engineered hardwood offers increased stability against humidity and minor moisture exposure. However, all types of hardwood will require immediate attention to spills and preventative maintenance, such as keeping pets’ nails trimmed, to prevent scratches.

Porcelain and Ceramic Tile

Tile is a staple in South Florida for its cooling properties and extreme durability. Maybe types of tile are completely waterproof, scratch proof, stain proof, and easy to clean. However, tile can be tough on joints and may feel extra chilly without rugs.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Luxury vinyl flooring is the ideal choice for active households with pets and children. It’s 100% waterproof, incredibly versatile, highly scratch resistant, and relatively comfortable underfoot. Better yet, luxury vinyl is easy to install and replace as needed. 

Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is an excellent alternative for homeowners who love the rich elegance of hardwood flooring. Today’s laminate products feature tough, scuff-resistant wear layers and high-quality wood or stone visuals. While laminate flooring typically is water resistant, not all types are fully waterproof, meaning large spills must be managed promptly.

What Kitchen Flooring is Right for Me?

The right choice depends on your lifestyle. For complete peace of mind in a busy South Florida kitchen with frequent spills, tile or luxury vinyl are the best options. On the other hand, if you prioritize the natural warmth of wood and can commit to quick cleanup, engineered hardwood or laminate are excellent choices.
