Kitchen Vinyl Flooring – Choosing the right floor for your kitchen – Part 5:

November 17, 2018

Kitchen vinyl flooring continues to be a very popular choice for kitchen redesign projects. Not only is it good looking and highly versatile, it is a very cost -effective option. Vinyl flooring for kitchens comes in a wide range of colors and patterns that mimic hardwood, ceramics, and stone. The surface’s elasticity, give and warmth make it comfortable to stand on.

Some people will immediately think of their mother’s kitchens when vinyl kitchen flooring is mentioned. In reality, today’s vinyl is a far cry from the vinyl of yesteryear. New vinyl kitchen floors feature better textures and colors for a more realistic appearance and you can buy vinyl with textures that look like slate, leather, even wood.

Kitchen Vinyl Flooring Essentials

What Is It? Vinyl is composed of four layers: a protective urethane top coat, a protective clear vinyl layer, a printed design layer, and a felt or fiberglass backing.

Durability: Vinyl is a durable surface that shouldn’t stain, scratch, or fade. High-end vinyl kitchen floors will be resistant to food and drink spills, kid and pet traffic and guests. Some floors are even embedded with antimicrobial protection that fight bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Cleaning and Maintenance: Wipe up spills immediately. Sweep, dust, or vacuum regularly, and occasionally wipe the surface with a damp mop or cloth. For glossy floors, occasionally strip and reapply polish as necessary. Avoid waxing or buffing the surface.

What to Consider When Choosing Vinyl Kitchen Flooring

Vinyl flooring comes in three basic forms.

Tiles- Vinyl tiles can look very much like ceramics and can be arranged in any pattern. Some manufacturers offer vinyl tiles that can be used with color-coordinated grout, making them look even more like tile.

Sheets– Vinyl sheets allow your flooring team to create a seamless look in your kitchen. These sheets come in a variety of designs and colors.

Planks– Vinyl planks look like hardwood with all the realistic colors and textures.

Underlayment – With proper prep, vinyl can be installed over virtually any flat, dry, clean surface. In most cases, a plywood underlayment is recommended for the best results.
