Wood: Comes either as solid wood flooring or engineered planks. A good quality wooden floor can last for many years if it is looked after properly. Like stone however, a wooden floor requires a lot of maintenance - it is more difficult to keep clean than laminate or vinyl. Wood is highly susceptible to water damage and staining so it is important to regularly seal the floor. One of the great advantages to this type of floor is the variety of wood types and hues which are available. Additionally wood can also be painted or stained to produce greater colour and style options.
Installing tiles is a difficult job. It requires precision and most people would not rather learn how to do it in fear that they might make several mistakes during the learning process. However, tiling is actually easy if you know the basics and necessary steps in executing the installation process. You can actually save a lot of money in doing this on your own rather than hiring a professional to do it for you. As long as you stick with dos and don‘ts of the tiling task, this activity might actually be rather entertaining than confusing for you.
Installing tiles may require precision but it can be achieved through careful planning and execution. You can save a lot by opting to install tiles by yourself rather than asking a professional to them for you.
Grouting: Allow time to dry after installing all your tiles on the floor. You can now start grouting afterwards. Some tiles like natural tiles, marble, slate, limestone, granite and porcelain should be sealed first before grouting. You can also use a specialized sealer to waterproof your tiles and make them more resistant to dirt and staining.
Wood is a great and popular choice for the floor in the kitchen. Upkeep is fairly minimal and it can create a wonderful warm look to your kitchen. You can match the color of the wood floor to the cabinets in the kitchen, or go for a lighter or darker shade compared to the cabinets. Wood flooring can be distressed as mentioned earlier, to help high the dings that may occur. Many of the pre-finished wood flooring options today can easily withstand heavy traffic and even water stains. There are also high-pressured plastic laminates which can be an alternative to the wood floor, but offer a similar look for less money.
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.
