Kitchen Flooring Ideas for the Refined Sense of Style of Woodland Hills Homeowners

Kitchen Hardwood Floors

Hardwood is the gold standard for kitchen flooring because it is made of 100% wood. Hardwood flooring in the kitchen is available in hundreds of options, from warm and inviting espressos to elegant, rich dark tones and from ultra-modern light and airy tones to smart, coastal blondes. It is also available in your choice of finishes, from matte to high gloss, and plank sizes from slats to wide planks. You can also opt for more affordable engineered hardwood flooring in the kitchen.

The benefits of hardwood include:

When searching for high-quality kitchen flooring in Woodland Hills, vinyl makes an excellent choice. Kitchen vinyl flooring is available in traditional sheet form to create a seamless look or luxury vinyl plank flooring that comes in planks like laminate or hardwood. Today hardwood and tile flooring have steep competition from luxury vinyl kitchen flooring thanks to this high-end material's endless styles, affordability, and convincingly realistic appearance.

It is also water and moisture-resistant, so many homeowners prefer luxury vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen over hardwood. Available in both wood and tile designs, you can grout vinyl tiles for a more authentic stone, ceramic, or porcelain look.

Benefits of luxury vinyl flooring include:

Tiles for Kitchens

Tiles are the classic choice for kitchens of any style. Tile floors are highly water-resistant and durable and come in endless options. They can be mixed and matched to create a customized look that appeals to today's homeowners and interior designers alike. You have manufactured tiles such as ceramic and porcelain, as well as natural stone floorings such as marble, granite, and slate:

• Porcelain: This is the ultimate kitchen flooring choice as it is entirely waterproof, denser than ceramic, and doesn't require coatings like many stone floors.
• Ceramic: It checks all the same boxes as porcelain but is more cost-effective as it is not quite as dense and more porous, so not as water-resistant.
• Natural Stone: Natural stone is ideal for high-end kitchens but requires a coating for protection.

You will also find very natural-looking ceramic and porcelain designs that mimic expensive natural stone and wood floors.

Benefits of floor tiles for the kitchen include:

Laminate Flooring for the Kitchen

Laminate flooring is much like luxury vinyl plank flooring, but instead of vinyl, the synthetic material is a high-density fiberboard. Designed to mimic a wide variety of wood and stone floors, it is easy to find an affordable laminate alternative to costly natural materials for your Woodland Hills flooring. Laminate is low maintenance, easy to install, and water resistant. The only downside is that it tends to be less moisture-resistant than other kitchen floor options.
