October is prime time for kitchen projects, and one question we hear a lot is: what floor actually holds up in a kitchen long term? ๐ค
Here's what matters most in this room specifically:
๐ณ Comfort underfoot. You stand here for long stretches. Materials with a little give, like LVP or cushioned tile, make a real difference over time.
๐ง True waterproofing. Kitchens see spills constantly. Water resistant is not the same as waterproof. Know which you're getting before you buy.
๐ก๏ธ Stability. Kitchens experience heat, humidity, and temperature changes. Materials that expand and contract significantly can cause problems over time.
๐งน Ease of cleaning. Grout lines, texture, and finish all affect how easy the floor is to maintain day to day.
