4 LOW MAINTENANCE KITCHEN FLOORING IDEAS FOR YOUR
HOME

The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in a
home. Not only does it receive considerable foot
traffic, but there is always something spilling
or splattering on the floor such as stains,
knives, milk, etc. In addition, this space
experiences rapid fluctuations in temperature
arising mainly from the stove/oven. The type of
floor in the kitchen must therefore be able to
withstand the daily rigors of life while being
easy to take care of.
Listed below are four low maintenance kitchen
flooring ideas suitable for a busy home

Vinyl
This is a new type of flooring material. It is
man-made and has an appearance that resembles
plastic. Vinyl possesses many resistance and
resilience properties. It is capable of
withstanding most staining agents and is easy to
clean after a spill or splash. Vinyl is also
durable and wont easily scratch, tear or rip.

Natural Stone
Stone is extracted from the earths surface and
then processed into usable materials. There are
many different types of stones each with its own
usability and suitability value. For instance,
stones like onyx and marble are quite soft and
prone to scratching. In terms of a floor for a
kitchen, granite and Indian slatestone slabs are
great options. These stones are quite durable and
almost impervious to liquid absorption, divots
and scratches.

To protect the longevity of your slate or granite
floor, you will need to apply a sealant and the
floor must be installed correctly. Multi-colored
granite and slate are great options for a kitchen
because their speckled surface is helpful in
hiding bits of dirt and other imperfections. Less
clean-up work is required to keep your kitchen
floors looking spotless because the mottled
surface is effective as a camouflage agent.
6
Linoleum
Linoleum is an easy-care, low maintenance and
durable flooring material. It is also
ecologically friendly. Linoleum is manufactured
from linseed oil a biodegradable, all-natural
resource that has no negative consequence on the
environment. At the end of its lifespan, this
flooring material can be recycled into a fuel
source for power generators.
Linoleum is capable of resisting spills, stains,
scratches, tears and rips. However, this material
may start to curl in regions with high humidity
or moisture.

Ceramic
Ceramic is a tile that is manufactured to
withstand moisture penetration. Ceramic tile
gives the look and feel of stone. They can be
installed in nearly every room in your home. This
type of floor is easy to clean with a broom or
damp mop. The tiles also dont require sealing.
However, the grout lines between each tile does
begin to wear down with time and may require
re-grouting. In addition, this area is
susceptible to mould growth and requires regular
sealing.
