Kitchen Flooring Supply & Installation

Both are good choices, but vinyl has the edge in waterproofing and durability. Laminate is affordable and stylish but less suited to areas with heavy moisture unless using a waterproof-rated product.

Porcelain tile and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) are considered the most hard-wearing. They resist scratches, stains, and heavy foot traffic, making them ideal for busy kitchens.

Natural materials like oak-effect wood or stone-look tiles never go out of style. Neutral tones and classic patterns like herringbone or wide planks are also enduringly popular.

Luxury vinyl flooring (LVT or SPC) is fully waterproof and ideal for kitchens. It’s highly resistant to spills and humidity, making it a safer and more practical option than natural wood.

Laminate is one of the most budget-friendly options while still offering a stylish look. Modern laminate ranges include waterproof cores and realistic wood textures at a lower cost than hardwood or tile.

Engineered wood and high-quality vinyl often add the most value. Buyers love flooring that’s both attractive and durable, especially if it complements the rest of the kitchen design.

Vinyl and laminate floors are low-maintenance and easy to clean. Just regular sweeping and occasional mopping are usually enough. LVT is particularly stain- and water-resistant.

Look for vinyl or laminate with a textured, slip-resistant surface. Some tiles also have anti-slip finishes, but smoother ceramic or polished stone can be slippery when wet.

Wood and vinyl floors are warmer underfoot than tile. You can also add underfloor heating beneath most types of flooring,  particularly tiles and LVT, for extra comfort.
