Nowadays, anything goes on kitchen floors. In the old days, there are basically two options, tile and linoleum. Today, we see hardwood, linoleum, cork, laminate, and many different types and styles of linoleum.

Let's start by seeing what does not work well for most of the floors of the people in the kitchen.

Cork flooring is fashionable today, but it is a very good choice for kitchen flooring in most cases. Although this surface is too porous, and if you have children or a dog rummaging through the kitchen on a regular basis, forget it. It is durable. Elsewhere in the house cork flooring is very popular and very easy to install. In most cases break squares together is all that is at stake.

Marble tiles are beautiful, but still a better choice for bathrooms. Smooth or polished marble is very fragile and not durable. Marble is a rock, but most people do not realize how fragile and up to $ 15 per square foot is too expensive to replace if something happens. "Marble drum seems great, but it is too porous to the kitchen. Making the coffee and spill wine on polished marble, not a good idea to clean unpolished not well and can absorb stains. Bread crumbs to find their way into every corner too.

Some types of hardwood; Be aware of the seams between the planks hard. Wide gap appears and gather the crumbs that can be cleaned through shop vac, but something God forbid sticky down in the cracks. If you are looking for wood for cooking, choose hardwood that goes hand in hand with the least possible seams.

What better job selections in the kitchen:

Laminate flooring used to get a bad reputation, but is much improved today. Laminate, actually a snapshot of real wood, mislead enough people today, and the layman can not distinguish between laminate and real hardwood. Laminate is absolutely our # 1 choice for large families and people with pets. Your children can slop jelly bread on the floor, the dog can turn around the plate, and her husband can drip paint on the floor and most of the laminates to laugh it. Before becoming a laminated nose up, get out and see what's available. You will be pleasantly surprised.

The old stand-by, tile. Most are ceramic tile or porcelain. "Porcelain" does not mean that no tile looks like his smooth white bathroom. It comes in all shapes and sizes of any other tile. All you need to know is the porcelain is more durable than terra cotta or ceramic and pass the test of bowling ball. If you drop a bowling ball on ceramic tile, several cracks and need to be replaced, porcelain, probably correct. You will find porcelain that is about 25% more expensive that most ceramic tiles though.

Tiles clean very well with the exception of the grout lines. Grout lines are a blur and earth magnet. Make sure that the double seal their grout lines, and clean and reseal the years every 2 or 3. Unlike your tile, your grout finally absorb stains. Clean grout lines give the kitchen very clean and polished feel while grungy grout can be a black cloud over your kitchen.

We're putting wood in both categories as some work in the kitchen. 3 / 4 inches of wood, or engineered hardwood can work very well in the kitchen if the seams are tight and do not mind a few scratches and nicks inevitable. The final word on hardwood is your "toughness." Most hardwoods are compared and classified against "oak" or "red oak" as a measure of hardness. Be sure to buy a hardwood that is softer than oak if you have a active family. For example, the dog scratches affect all but the hardest of hardwoods.

Finally, let's look at linoleum floors. OK, a leading developer of New York, the inner city is still not caught dead using laminated, and you get a bad reputation. However, as laminate "wood" Flat, is greatly improved. Unlike laminate, linoleum, not to deceive many people, often designed to look like ceramic tile, but given Beat's in terms of cleaning and durability. If you are putting your money into a granite countertop and new appliances, linoleum flooring is right, and will last many years with minimal effort. Since the cheapest option, it will be there for you if your budget is squeezed.
