Explore the Best Wood Flooring for Pets, including scratch-proof, water-resistant options that have a beautiful wood look finish that are built to last.
If there’s one area in your home that needs a tough and resilient floor, it’s your kitchen! The heart of your home, the kitchen is one of the most often-used rooms and it’s subjected to a multitude of challenges.
- It needs to be durable and withstand high foot traffic and daily wear.
- It needs to be resistant to water splashes and spills
- And it needs to have great acoustic insulation properties. Nobody wants the blender noise vibrating through their home when they make their morning smoothie!
What options of flooring out there are robust, waterproof and have good acoustic properties?
If you want a flooring that is going to do each of these things, choosing a hybrid floor is a great idea. Hybrid floors such as Woodland Lifestyle's Strata range are 100% waterproof and have an attached underlay - meaning you only have to install the flooring and not worry about installing an underlay too!
Slate or ceramic tiles look elegant, but they can be cold and hard underfoot and offer no cushioning at all. If you spend a lot of time in your kitchen you want to consider an option that offers more comfort.
Many laminate flooring ranges offer a waterproof surface, making them suitable for installation in a kitchen. However, its important that they are installed correctly so no water seeps beyond the surface of the floor.
Another option is a bamboo floor, but like hardwood, it can be susceptible to stains.
The most comfortable, practical, and long-lasting option would have to be waterproof hybrid flooring.
