Hard surface flooring and kitchens: a perfect match
You have plenty of choices when it comes to flooring for your kitchen. The best choices are those in the hard surface category: ceramic tile, porcelain tile, luxury vinyl, hardwood, laminate wood. Hard surface flooring stands up to the wear and tear demands of a kitchen. It’s also easy to clean and handles spills easily. The best of these choices are the ones that bring water resistance to your kitchen. That brings us to tile flooring and luxury vinyl flooring.
