Kitchen flooring

Kitchen flooring in Mason

A floor built for spills, dropped pans and a busy family.

Gray kitchen with a white quartz peninsula, a wood panel front and wood stools
Under the cabinets or around them

Running the floor under the cabinets takes more material and makes later changes easier.

Matching the rest of the floor

Many newer homes run one wood floor through the kitchen and family room. Matching it or replacing both is the first decision.

  1. 01
    Tile

    Lasts for decades and feels cool. Large tile means fewer grout lines.

  2. 02
    Wood

    Warm, and it can match the rest of the main floor. Wipe up water by the sink quickly.

  3. 03
    Luxury vinyl

    Waterproof, softer underfoot and quick to put down.

Kitchen flooring questions

Q1Which floor lasts longest in a kitchen?

Tile for wear, luxury vinyl for water, wood when it needs to match the rooms around it.

Q2Should the floor run under the cabinets?

It can. It costs a bit more and keeps future layout changes simple.

Q3Will the floor need leveling?

Sometimes, even in newer homes. Tile cracks over a floor that is not flat, so the contractor checks before it goes down.
