If you want a kitchen remodeling project that can instantly spruce up your cooking space, consider upgrading the flooring. However, unlike other parts of your home, the kitchen endures considerable wear due to spills, heat, and traffic. Thus, you must use a material that works as hard as your kitchen.

3 Kitchen Flooring Options to Consider

1. Vinyl

For a kitchen remodeling project without an extreme cost, vinyl flooring is an excellent choice. Varieties of this budget-friendly and low-maintenance material range from water-resistant to waterproof, making for a sturdy flooring in a space susceptible to drips and spills. Vinyl comes in diverse styles, allowing you to choose a design that matches your kitchen's fixtures and theme.

2. Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tiles are another popular option for kitchen remodeling. It is impenetrable to water and stains and handles heat well. This sturdy material is available in many styles and colors. The only downside is its underfoot coldness, which you can resolve by installing a heating system beneath the tiles.

3. Engineered Hardwood

Hardwood used to be a poor option for high-moisture spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms. But thanks to modern sealants and engineering, this material can withstand the moisture and pressure in the kitchen. Engineered hardwood is water-resistant. Although it's a pricier flooring option, it increases the value of a home, making it a worthwhile investment.
