A kitchen remodel or renovation is a significant investment, and choosing the right kitchen flooring material is crucial for both aesthetics and functionality. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Ogden prides itself on delivering not just a stunning kitchen renovation but also a comfortable and durable home remodel. If comfort is your top priority when it comes to flooring, certain materials feel great underfoot and are worth considering.
Cork Flooring: Naturally Comfortable
Cork is an excellent kitchen flooring choice for those looking for comfort. Harvested from the cork oak tree, this resilient flooring option provides a high level of cushioning, making it a relief to stand on. It’s available in diverse colors, patterns, and textures, and in both tile and plank formats. Despite being prone to scratches and dents, regular application of protective wax or polyurethane and using felt pads under furniture can keep it in top shape.
Linoleum Flooring: Classic and Comfy
Linoleum is fashioned from natural, renewable materials like linseed oil and powdered cork, offering a gentle surface underfoot. As a kitchen flooring material, linoleum is praised for its durability and wide range of hues and patterns. To maintain its good looks over the years, applying a protective finish is recommended, much like it is for cork.
Vinyl Flooring: Soft Yet Sturdy
A more budget-conscious option, vinyl flooring comes in sheet form or as tiles/planks. Innovatively styled and colored vinyl can make a statement in your kitchen while providing a comfortable standing experience. However, vinyl’s comfort comes at the cost of durability since it can show wear over time, so it may not be the longest-lasting choice. Its affordability makes it an attractive kitchen renovation option.
Wood Flooring: Warm and Welcoming
Wood floors bring warmth and a forgiving platform for your feet. Despite its susceptibility to water damage and scratches, proper care can extend its lifespan. Opting for a site-finished wood floor, which seals the seams between planks, can protect against water and debris – a vital feature in any kitchen.
Bamboo Flooring: Sustainably Soft
Bamboo flooring shares many similarities with hardwood but offers a more sustainable pedigree. Ensure you select moso bamboo for the tallest durability and comfort underfoot.
Laminate Flooring: Comfort and Style on a Budget
Laminate flooring can mimic more expensive materials while providing a more forgiving surface for standing and walking. More resistant to moisture than wood, it cannot be refinished, giving it a shorter lifespan.
