Choosing Laminate flooring for your kitchen - Tarkett

13 Mar.,2024

 

Vinyl flooring, including luxury vinyl tiles (also known as luxury vinyl plank) and vinyl roll, as well as porcelain or ceramic tile are generally considered to be the best flooring options for a kitchen because of their ability to stand up to moisture and humidity.

Laminate flooring can be installed in the kitchen. However, due to the constant presence of moisture, you'll need to apply special care and maintenance. Firstly, you’ll need to choose a Laminate floor that is highly water-resistant, and you’ll need to ensure that seams are very tight between the planks when installing the floor. This ensures that there are no gaps and prevent moisture penetrating the core of the Laminate, which contains wood composite materials.  

The joints in between the planks can also be sealed with silicon sealer to make your Laminate floors more water-resistant. Even good quality, water-resistant Laminate flooring can suffer water damage if it isn’t installed correctly and if it isn’t well maintained.
