Until recently unless you were lucky enough to have a hardwood floor; the variety of materials available for kitchen flooring was restricted to just a few options - vinyl, laminate or waterproof carpet tiles. The possibility of using stone flooring was generally restricted to those with large budgets.

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.

Laminate: One of the most common types of flooring used nowadays, Laminate flooring has come a long way from the two tone square print designs of the late 80‘s and early 90‘s. Now with modern manufacturing processes, laminate flooring is available in many different colours and designs - some of the imitation wood designs available are of exceptional quality. Laminate is affordable, reasonably easy to fit by yourself (although it is always best to use the services of a professional fitter) and is waterproof. One of the major cons of laminate flooring is that it can wear easily in areas of high traffic.

Stone and tile kitchen flooring options: Both stone and tile are ideal materials to consider if heavy traffic is expected. Stone is a great material to use if you intend to create a natural look in your home. It is a great way to create consistency and continuity if you use it on other areas within and outside the home. Some of the heavy favorites include sandstone, limestone and slate. Left untreated, some types of stones can develop unique tones and textures. As the rough feel of the stone may not always be a crowd favorite, porcelain tile is a better alternative. This is especially true for those who are looking for a more uniform and sleek finish.

Whatever option do you choose when it comes down to choosing what rooms should you install these tiles in, there is one important thing to remember. Tiles should always be installed in a proper and a professional manner. This is of crucial importance if you want your tiles to last, and to stand the test of time. Probably the best option for you is to hire a professional to place the tiles for you, but if you feel you can do it yourself, make sure you do some research on the topic, before you undertake that effort.

Sometimes people consider tile floor installation for their whole house. This is especially often if the house in question is located near the seaside, because the high humidity, and presence of salt in the air can easily damage other types of flooring. In that case a ceramic tile floor installation for all of the rooms in the house might just be the right solution. Also, as the climate is quite often very warm in that type of places, the ceramic tiles will help keep the temperature of the house down, especially in the summer. However, even if your home is placed in a colder climate, ceramic tile floor installation for all of your rooms can still be an option. You just need to make sure your home has adequate heating, and getting, and installing floor heating might fit quite nicely with this. Otherwise, you should keep rugs covering your rooms that have ceramic tile flooring.
