How are you planning to use the space day in, day out and how much wear and tear is the floor going to be put through? You also need to consider the position of the kitchen in your home and other factors like pets and children as all of these elements will affect how your floor is used and the foundation you need for your space.

WHAT IS THE BEST TILES FOR A KITCHEN?

For a kitchen floor, kitchen tiles would be the best and most durable option compared to other flooring like laminate, vinyl and wood flooring. The type of tile depends on the use of the space and how much traffic it will see over time.

WHAT TYPE OF KITCHEN TILES ARE BEST FOR THE KITCHEN FLOOR?

Depending on the use of your kitchen space, either porcelain tiles or natural stone tiles would be the best tiles for a kitchen floor. Both of these options are hard wearing and durable enabling them to withstand considerable wear over time.

However, if you have a large amount of activity in the kitchen every day, like you’re an avid baker, you let the kids help with the cooking or you are a little bit clumsy then our kitchen tiles advice would be to avoid natural stone. Stone can be porous and if not sealed and treated properly and regularly it can stain and therefore mark overtime.

WHAT IS THE EASIEST KITCHEN TILES TO KEEP CLEAN?

Porcelain tiles are much easier to clean than natural stone tiles as you don’t have to worry so much about damaging your sealant or water marks. Most porcelain is micro sealed during production meaning they are most resistant to wear and tear, requiring little up keep.

Given the nature of the room, we’d advise opting for a mid-tone Kitchen tiles. This means it won’t show up as much dirt as a light tile but it also won’t show up grease marks, hair or dust like a dark floor tile would. We’d also advise a darker grout colour, this will keep it looking fresher for longer.
