Answer:
Your best option on durable kitchen flooring is going to be glazed ceramic tiles. Though regular tiles are quite durable, the overlaying option of dropping anything from a cup to pots and pans can easily cause a crack in the flooring. Just like tile flooring, ceramic floors are extremely easy to clean, provide a rugged grip-based surface, and resist stains. A few advantages of ceramic flooring include:

  • Inexpensive
  • Water Proof
  • Stain Resistance
  • Easy – to – Clean
  • Large Varieties of Colors and Designs

With the cost of remodels adding up with every option, it is quite nice to see that you can look to settle on your rooms durable flooring based on an average of $5-$10 per square foot. Freeing up some much needed funds for the cabinets that may be a bit out of date, or even just upgrading the handles to bring them back to life. The tiles themselves are extremely stain resistant, and allow minimal to no moisture in, which in return helps to prevent decay, wear, and mold. Ceramic tiles come in nearly any design and color imaginable, and with good care, will stay looking as good as new for years. Of course just like any flooring there are some disadvantages. Some of which are:

  • Difficulty of Install
  • Cold
  • Hard

Installing ceramic tiles is quite time consuming and requires quite the variety of mortar, grout, and tools. Along with the install, you must seal your grout to prevent moisture access between the tiles. Another slight disadvantage is the hardness of the flooring. Like your average tile flooring, ceramic tiles get quite uncomfortable to stand on after a while, and stay quite cold at all times. There is however a great way to offset both of these problems. A simple rug in common standing areas, can help provide some warmth and comfort to your designated areas.
