Some of our flooring options for kitchens include:

Anyone who has ever decided to put in a new kitchen knows that one of the biggest dilemmas you will face is what type of flooring should be used. Many people choose a durable hardwood floor, and it is easy to understand why. The best part about hardwood floors is that they can bring class and elegance to any kitchen.

If you are planning to install wood flooring in the kitchen, you might as well do it right. As earlier stated wood flooring is one of the most affordable types of flooring to buy, and it can be a good choice for any room in your home. It’s appropriate for almost every room because of its durability, versatility, and simplicity.

In the kitchen specifically, you can choose from different types of wood flooring that will add a lot to the decor of the room. You can stick with one style throughout the whole kitchen or use different patterns so you can have variation and yet consistency in colour.

Wood Floor Options By Types

Wood flooring installation in the kitchen can be a really rewarding process, but you don’t want to cut any corners for this sort of home improvement project. Another important thing to keep in mind before starting your wood flooring project is the various types of wood flooring options that are available out there, it is important to choose the right one that suits your needs.

  • Solid unfinished boards: The best way to get solid hardwood planks installed for a kitchen floor is to have solid wood planks installed, then staining and finishing them in place.

By installing the solid wood planks this way, the boards butt up tightly together and are covered with a sealer coat that covers the entire surface, providing protection that won’t be penetrated by water or staining materials.

Wooden flooring has one very big advantage: it can be sanded down and refinished several times over the life of the floor. Solid hardwood floors have been known to last a century or more. This is the best form of hardwood for kitchens, though increasingly rare.

  • Engineered wood planks: Engineered plank flooring is created by bonding a thin veneer of hardwood to a base of plywood or MDF. This flooring is always prefinished and is often created with a “click-lock” system in which the planks interlock at the edges.

This makes it possible to install it as a “floating floor” to make it easier to clean by installing it on top of your existing floor without any subfloor attachment or underlayment. This form of hardwood is the easiest for DIYers to install.

Engineered hardwood is quite stable thanks to the plywood core, and many types are suitable for installation against concrete slabs and without the need for professional hardwood flooring maintenance services.

  • Reclaimed wood planks: You can find a growing demand for using repurposed hardwood flooring, which includes materials salvaged from when factories, office buildings, or bowling alleys are demolished. This option is very appealing to anyone interested in eco-friendly building practices since it uses recycled materials.

Most larger communities have retailers who specialize in repurposed building materials. If carefully installed so that boards butt tightly and a good sealer is applied, reclaimed planks can be an acceptable choice for kitchens and countertops.

  • Solid prefinished wooden boards: Many floor manufacturers now offer prefinished solid hardwood flooring, which takes the extra work out of the installation process.

Prefinished flooring has increasingly replaced unfinished flooring as the favourite, due to more durability and ease of installation. The planks are sanded, sealed, stained, and finished at the factory, which means the installer doesn’t have to do it after installation.

Prefinished hardwood flooring is sometimes milled so that the planks have slightly bevelled edges, and this can make it difficult to install in certain kitchen locations.

Wood Options By Species

Although not every wood species is available in every area, the variety is sufficient to suit most tastes. You can also build in a design to suit your flooring tastes. For instance, oak is generally the most commonly used. Other options include cherry, maple, walnut, hickory, and birch. Many homeowners love the look of exotics such as jatoba, teak, tigerwood, and Brazilian cherry.

Generally, the best hardwood floors are made with wood species that are readily available and very durable. You’ll pay a premium price for more exotic species, such as teak, jarrah and mesquite.

  • Walnut: Walnut flooring is another popular hardwood species. Available in multiple varieties, it’s notable for its rich brown colour and purple hue, it’s dark swirling grains look beautiful in any home. It’s not the best option for use in areas like a dining room where heavy dining chairs slide back and forth regularly.
  • Oak: The oak is another popular species for hardwood flooring, red oak is loved for its classic good looks and old-fashioned warmth. Oak hardwood flooring is a great choice in traditional-style homes. It blends well with a wide range of furniture and décor. Two main varieties of oak hardwood flooring are available: red oak and white oak. The main difference between the two is their colour.
  • Maple: Maple is one of the most distinctive and durable types of hardwood flooring. It’s notable for the characteristic grain pattern that sets it apart from other hardwoods. The species’ light colour and uniform texture also help it appeal to the masses.
  • Hickory: Few species of wood are as hard and strong as hickory. Therefore, hickory hardwood flooring is notable for its extreme durability. It can last a lifetime, with minimal wear and tear, if properly maintained.
  • Cherry: Cherry is a reddish-brown wood with a tight, wavy grain. It is finished with a lustrous polish that complements the grain. Because cherry is very soft and easy to work with, it’s in demand for fine cabinetry. Though cherry hardwood flooring will show sun damage if installed in direct sunlight for multiple years, it has excellent dimensional stability and is rooted in more sustainable resources.
  • Teak: The exotic wood is most notable for its durability. It’s one of the strongest and most expensive wood floors out there. Install it in the highest traffic area of your home, throw in multiple kids and pets, and it will still stand the test of time. Teak flooring is also loved for its natural shine and finish. Though it looks great with stain or varnish applied, teak also holds its natural oils.
  • Birch: Birch’s long been a popular flooring species for all means of home construction, including hardwood flooring. Birch hardwood flooring has clear, attractive wood grains.

Coupled with its creamy white to yellowish-white colour, it looks great in just about any home. Birch also holds stains very well. It’s easy to stain it with a variety of colours for a more individualized look.

The Benefits Of Wood Flooring

Today, modern homeowners are turning to hardwood flooring for their homes. Some people prefer the classic look of wood over carpet and tiles, while some others prefer it due to its easy to maintain and guard attributes. Below are some reasons why you should choose wood flooring.

Make your home more attractive: Well maintained Wooden floors make your home feel warm and comfortable. It also adds a touch of elegance to your home and makes you feel like you’re at a 5-star resort. It also gives your place the illusion of looking bigger than it is and in turn, makes your guests feel at ease and welcome. Sure, they might say “carpet feels good on my feet,” but you know what they mean.

Strength and Durability: The reason more and more people prefer wooden flooring is due to its strength and durability. Sure, these floors can also get scratched or dented, but it is not easy to do so and when cared for properly, a hardwood floor can last for a lifetime.

Flooring, being a natural product, can hold the warmth better than other floorings like laminates, tiles or stone floors that are much less comfortable especially during colder climates. The making of wooden flooring is such that they are incredibly tough and will stand up to heavy footfall in both domestic and commercial environments.

Increases The Value Of Your Home: Hardwood floors can help to add value to your home especially when it comes to selling your house since buyers will pay more for a hardwood floor as compared to a carpet.

Many homeowners do not want a carpet that is used by other people as they view it as a petri dish to provoke allergy symptoms. Consequently, they consider replacing the existing carpets, which is why they prefer a house with hardwood floors. In turn, wood floors are easier to clean than carpets so you can sell your house faster whenever you need to.

Refinishing is possible: In contrast to carpet or tile, wood flooring can be refinished rather than replaced. This helps you to save on your cost and also saves you the hassle of buying or installing new flooring.

If you bought a new home and don’t like the colour of the flooring all you have to do is sand the colour off and stain them to your liking. It’s as easy as that and much cheaper than replacing your kitchen cabinets, roof, and windows. Saving time too.

Enhances Better Air Quality: Your allergies will thank you. Hardwood floors do not trap dust, particles or other common allergens, improving the air quality of your home. If you suffer from frequent allergies, wooden flooring is the perfect choice for you.

Even though tile and laminate do not have the fibres that carpet has, they still have grout lines and embossing that are a great place for dust and other allergens to settle.

It offers a variety of options: The result is always stunning. Wooden floors come with a great range of species and grades. This allows you to choose the look that you want as well as help you choose the best finish that will fit your lifestyle. You can not only adopt your flooring to suit your lifestyle but the different grades allow you to choose the perfect type which suits your budget.

It is easy to install: They are easy to install and lay on and can be done with the help of a professional or you can even do it yourself. Many types of fancier floorings also have a click system which is easier than standard engineered flooring if you are trying your hand for the first time.
