Kitchen floors need to be practical before anything else. But at the same time, it's important that it also suits the style of your kitchen and that it fits with your budget. We’ve written about 3 different types of flooring that we believe would most practical for a kitchen.
Don’t forget to consider other costs, such as shipping, furniture removal, installation, preparation and finish costs!
Luxury Vinyl Flooring
For a kitchen, vinyl flooring is a brilliant and practical choice – it’s hardwearing, low maintenance and easy to clean. Our supplier, Palio by Karndean, provides only the best quality luxury vinyl flooring, available in 3 fitting formats to help you meet your exact needs.
Wood Flooring
On top of this, heat and moisture can cause warping, swelling and shrinkage in wooden floors, which is worth considering when deciding on a kitchen floor. Due to the amount of footfall a kitchen sees, it may be helpful to opt for a matte finish as damage won’t be as obvious. We would also stongly advise that any untreated flooring you lay will need to be treated accordingly.
Here, we offer a both solid and engineered wood flooring. Our solid softwood flooring is sold as Tongue and Groove 5th Grade Scandinavian Redwood, machined at our Wickham Timber Centre. While we also supply a range of solid oak hardwood flooring in a variety of lengths.
On the other hand, our engineered flooring is made from Character grade European Oak, to give the effect and feel of a solid oak floor. We have a mix of quarter sawn, planed and rift sawn boards, and we offer 3 types of engineered flooring: lacquered, oiled or unfinished.
