When looking at stone, slate or tiles one should also consider choosing an option with a textured surface to help prevent slips and trips in the kitchen. Stone floors are known to retain cold temperatures so under floor heating should most certainly be given high consideration as well.
Wood kitchen flooring options: Use wood to create a warmer feel to any home. There are many types of woods to choose from to fit varying preferences in color, texture and feel. Hardwoods, such as oak, are strong and durable but expensive. A cheaper alternative is bamboo, which looks great if combined with other soft shades and hues. For homeowners who want the look of wood in their home but at a fraction of the cost of real hardwoods, plastic laminates are another alternative to consider.
The kitchen floor is still one of most utilized areas of any home. This is where homeowners choose to store their food, dining utensils, kitchen gadgets and the like. Some may even choose to entertain guests in the kitchen. With the variety of uses, your kitchen flooring must be both durable yet must be visually impressive. Here are a few kitchen flooring options you can choose from to fit your needs and preferences.
Concrete flooring options: Concrete floors are commonly found in newer homes. They are hard-wearing and can hold heat well. There are many ways to change the look of your concrete floors. Concrete can be polished, honed, stained with acid or colored with a powdered hardener to produce different shades of grays, whites, greens, reds and even yellows. The same material can also be used on countertops to match the look of your floors.
Installing: You can now start installing tiles to your floors. Apply an even coverage of adhesive on your floor to avoid lumps and bumps. Rapid setting adhesives are used for concrete floors. Do not spend more than 30 minutes on your mixture because it dries up easily. Mix enough mixture that you can use for tiles that you can install within 30 minutes to avoid too much wastage. Flexible adhesives on the other hand are used for wooden floors.
Another important matter to keep in mind throughout the layout of your floor is the thickness of the floor tile and the backer board, this could possibly have an effect on your kitchen appliances particularly the cooking range position and you will probably create problems for your dishwasher.
