Kitchen Floor Materials

Porcelain Tile

Limestone

A natural stone that gives great character to a space but is not as durable as porcelain and it’s more porous, which makes them likelier to stain. Needs to be cleaned more often.

Cork – Cork is a durable, versatile material available in a variety of colors. It is water-resistant and reduces impact noise.

Vinyl – This flooring offers a variety of styles and colors in either tiles or sheets for those on a budget.

Hardwood Floors – The most popular choice right now for kitchen floors among Americans. Hardwood floors are softer on the feet and can do a great job connecting to other rooms in your house if have an open space, making one seamless transition.
