The Best Kitchen Floor Covering?

Wondering what the best kitchen floor covering is for your new kitchen? The choices are endless these days, but for my money, you can't go past wooden flooring!

Reclaimed and sustainably harvested wooden flooring is a great way to go if you are determined to use wood in your kitchen.

This wood is often salvaged from old warehouses and factories, dwellings and homes. It is probably the most eco-friendly option as far as wood is concerned - as long as strippers and sealants aren't used in the process.

Wooden Floors are perfect for a traditional and rustic style kitchen. They add warmth and appeal in so many hues and tones.

Timber can be laid randomly, giving beautiful patterns and grains. You can finish the boards yourself, or get a professional to sand, coat and finish your floor.

More Pros of Timber

Strong Home selling point, as they are ever popular

Very durable - if sealed properly

Can be sanded and finished again and again

Easy to clean - just brush and mop, but don't use harsh chemicals

The Cons of Timber

Prone to expansion and contraction, and to staining if not sealed

Sometimes they are noisy and squeaky when people walk on them

They will wear in high traffic areas and will need re-finishing in a few years time

So, for the best kitchen flooring, you really will be pushed to find a more beautiful floor, but again it is a question of need, budget and taste when it comes to floor coverings.

What about the newest and latest eco-friendly wooden floor - bamboo? See Bamboo for all you need to know about this gorgeous sustainable timber.
