When starting a kitchen remodeling project, many homeowners begin with the flooring. There are many factors to consider when making this choice, like style, durability, and longevity. Feldhaus Home Improvement, Inc. in Cincinnati, OH, has over 80 years of experience installing flooring in the area. They want to share some of the pros and cons of three popular flooring materials to help with your decision.

Kitchen Floor Materials Breakdown

Tile

Tile is one of the most versatile flooring options because it can be made to look like different materials. You may opt for one hue for the whole room or go for a unique pattern. Some versions even resemble wood. This material is low-maintenance and durable. It is important to note, though, that cleaning grout lines can take some scrubbing. The tiles can also crack if heavy objects are dropped on them. 

Hardwood

Many homeowners opt for hardwood flooring in their kitchen remodeling project. This high-quality option will improve the resale value of your home. Consider asking your flooring supply company which hardwoods are best for the humidity levels near your home. Scratching and gouging are potential downsides that can be caused by furniture, pet nails, and dropped items. 

Laminate

It’s common for people who enjoy cooking and entertaining to spend a lot of time in their kitchen. These individuals may love laminate, as it offers the opportunity to add some padding underneath to improve the ergonomics. Laminate can complement kitchen remodeling projects by imitating a more expensive floor like tropical hardwood. Unfortunately, you can’t refinish this material once it wears out.

Whether you’re looking for flooring that will up your home value, add durability, or improve comfort, these three options are excellent choices for kitchen remodeling projects.
