Kitchen Floor Tiles

For kitchen floor tiles, there are three main factors you need to think about: aesthetics, practicality, and resilience. Of course, you want your new tiled floor to look good but ensuring it can endure accidental spills and splashes is vital too.  

There is such a vast span of floor tile materials to choose from, with each offering varying levels of durability and protection. Think about what kind of kitchen you want to create. Will your kitchen be shared by a large family with many different meals cooked throughout the day? Or will it be more of a relaxed environment to simply prepare meals for one? Are you an avid dinner party entertainer hosting regular social events? Maybe you’re an aspiring chef looking to mirror a professional-standard environment.  

Now consider the essential properties you’ll need to fit this kind of household. If easy cleaning is high up on the list, why not go for a dark porcelain floor tile? Porcelain is simple to maintain plus any small stains, scuffs or dust will be masked within the darker tones of the tile finish.  

If children or pets make up a part of your household, pick a hard-wearing floor tile that resists splashes, scratches, and scuffs with ultra-hygienic properties to keep your kitchen as sterile as possible. 

For dinner-party enthusiasts, you may want a kitchen floor tile that holds up well against the point of a high heel and the potential smash of a glass. If this is the case, both ceramic and porcelain tiles are hard-wearing choices for kitchens with considerable foot traffic.
