Time For A Change?
Is your kitchen floor not holding up to the test of time? Water damage, even small spills, can severely damage your kitchen’s hardwood flooring. Pets are another huge source of wear and tear, leaving scratches from their claws and dark spots from accidents.
Kids are a blessing, but not always to your flooring. Scuff marks from shoes, gouges from dragging chairs that are too heavy to lift, sports equipment dropped on their way in the door, it all adds up to your kitchen floor looking wrecked. If this sounds like you, keep reading to learn about some family-friendly kitchen flooring options that won’t break the bank!
Why Even Bother?
You may find yourself thinking: Why even bother paying to fix my floors? They are just going to get damaged again. This is an understandable frustration, but there are many reasons to go ahead and replace your old floors with family-friendly kitchen flooring:
- Serious damage, such as rotten boards or mold concerns
- Sagging or warping due to ageÂ
- Dark marks and scoringÂ
- Yellowing or peeling finishÂ
It is important to remember that new flooring is much more durable than flooring past, and you will be replacing your old floor with something much sturdier in the long run!
Out With The Old
Deciding to replace your kitchen floor is the first step, but choosing a good replacement can be daunting. You may be tempted to replace the wood flooring with more of the same, but keep durability in mind as you look.
Vinyl is a lovely option if you love the look of your wood floors but want a water-resistant floor. Ceramic tile is another wonderful option to consider if you want to change the look of your floor up and is an excellent family-friendly kitchen flooring option!
In With The New
Luxury vinyl kitchen flooring is a wonderful choice to modernize your flooring. Vinyl is sleek, cheap, and customizable to suit your specific tastes. Sheet vinyl is the most common type of vinyl flooring for kitchens. It can be made to look like wood, stone, or tile, so choose whichever pattern appeals most to you.
Sheet vinyl is laid in large continuous swaths and is waterproof. Additionally, it has a clear layer on top that protects it from scratches and scuffs!
Try Ceramic Tile On For Size
If vinyl just isn’t what you are looking for, ceramic tile is an excellent alternative! It is more expensive than vinyl flooring, but it is extremely durable and customizable. Ceramic tile comes in just about every pattern and color you can think of, and can also be made to mimic wood grain.
Due to the nature of ceramic, it does not retain water and, especially if installed by a reputable company, is a good choice for water-resistant flooring.
