When beginning a kitchen renovation, it is best to start from the ground up. Literally.
A kitchen floor can set the tone for the whole room. Making sure you have your kitchen floor done right is an important step in the renovation process.
At Schwalb Builders Miami, we can help you lay down the groundwork for your perfect kitchen.
The kitchen often ends up being the heart and the central hub of the home, so it’s important that its floor be able to serve three purposes; be strong, appear timeless and be easy to clean. It’s a big plus if it can be those three things and be aesthetically pleasing as well!
We offer options in flooring materials that are both strong enough to withstand the high traffic patterns of a kitchen as well as the messes kitchens can incur. Since spills and drops are common in the kitchen, easy cleaning is also essential. We also have all sorts of different materials and colors so that you don’t have to sacrifice quality for appearance.
Hardwood Floors
One of the most popular materials to use is hardwood. Because it is so durable and easy to clean, it is a great option for the whole house.
Hardwood floors are both sturdy and timeless, and it can be a worthwhile, long-term investment for your home for years to come.
One of the more recent trends in hardwood flooring is bamboo because of its proven ability to stand up to scratches and dents.
If you have a floor plan that allows it, consider extending the hardwood from the kitchen into the room next to it to create a sleek transition from room to room and provide a more cohesive look between the two rooms.
Floor Tiles
Floor tiles in the kitchen provide endless options for the one who wants as many design options as possible. There are endless options and so many different types of materials, like porcelain, travertine, and natural stone like granite and slate.
Granite and slate are two of the more durable options, which is great for a regularly used room like the kitchen.
Granite can even be treated to make it slip-resistant, which can be extremely useful in a room like a kitchen with breakable dishes.
Travertine is a great option for endless designs and colors to bring your vision for an ideal kitchen to life.
Cork Flooring
Ordinarily, cork has been used mostly in backsplashes and countertops, but now, it is an eco-friendly and sustainable flooring material.
Being antimicrobial, it is ideal for a kitchen. Having an easy to clean and disinfect kitchen makes food prep safe and easy.
This low-maintenance floor material is naturally a little cushioned, so it is easy to stand upon for long periods of time while performing meal prep and cooking.
At the end of the day, when you need a new kitchen floor, Schwalb Builders Miami can help you pick the material that is right for you as well as professionally install it.
