What is the best kitchen floor?

Oct. 23, 2022
Surely ceramic floors are ideal for installing in a kitchen. There are places where the characteristics of the material are very important and these places could well be the kitchen, the bathroom or the terrace. 

The kitchen is one of the places where we spend the most time in the The house and its floor are surely one of the most exposed to deterioration both due to water and stains and due to the fall of instruments that could damage it.

To avoid all this, use porcelain stoneware It is one of the materials that will give us more security. But, there are many types of porcelain floors, which one to stay with and why?
What is the best kitchen floor?
HYDRAULIC FLOORS FOR KITCHENS
Hydraulic tiles are one of the most frequently searched for ceramic fashion on Google, and we see this reflected in the store. Although it is not the type of design that one would wear throughout the house, they are recommended for use as decoration in small spaces.


How to integrate a hydraulic tile in the kitchen

There are mainly 3 options to do it. 

  1. If it is a small kitchen where you can barely see a few tiles on the floor, you can cover the entire surface with hydraulic tiles to make it stand out.
  2. If you have a kitchen with many square meters of flooring, a good idea would be to combine the hydraulic tiles with another style of flooring. One of the most common combinations is with a grey porcelain floor if you want to give your kitchen a more industrial style. Or combine it with a wood-effect floor if you want a warmer design for the kitchen floor.
  3. Another of the uses that tiles that imitate hydraulic tiles have in the kitchen is to place them on the front of the kitchen. bench, covering that area where sometimes we don't know what to place and which is very visible.


WOODEN FLOORS
One of the most popular options both in kitchen floors and in any room in the house. There are only two things that you have to take into account before buying a floor that imitates wood.

Visually, it has to do with the style of flooring being consistent with the type of flooring. furniture. If the kitchen furniture is white, don't be afraid to put a piece of wood on the floor. But if the kitchen furniture is already of a wood type, then you will have to take into account that the colors, the betas and the knot that each material fit well with each other.

At the placement level It is totally necessary that the imitation wood floors are worked at more than 1/4. Do not place it in a line because visually it would not look good, nor place it in the middle of the other piece because it would surely not be as well placed as we would like.


In which direction should we place wood effect tiles?

In a square floor we do not have this kind of doubt, however with elongated floors we almost never know in which direction we have to lay it.
Our recommendation is that the tiles follow the direction of the main window (following the light). If you place a wood-imitation porcelain floor in the opposite direction to the point where the light receives the kitchen, you will see many more cement joints and visually it will not give us a good effect.
For the rest, buy wood-style flooring For the kitchen floor, it seems like a very successful idea, since they are resistant, clean and warm tiles.
GLOSSY PORCELAIN FLOORS
This is probably the worst option of the three. Not just by design. Although glossy porcelain floors are now more fashionable, we still identify them as a classic style.
The main drawback of a shiny floor is that we can slip on it. And although the kitchen floor is an interior place where we usually wear shoes, it is likely that at some time we will enter the kitchen with water or oil on the floor. That is why it will be interesting to increase our safety by buying another type of kitchen floor.
