Kitchen flooring should be durable and easy to clean. Various factors to be considered before buying Kitchen Floorings are appearance, comfort, ease of installation and removal, longevity and price. Wood, laminates, vinyl, linoleum, tile and cork are the important kitchen flooring materials available. Popular flooring choices among them are vinyl and linoleum. They are easy to clean and come in a variety of styles and designs. But vinyl and linoleum are vulnerable to water damage. Vinyl is long lasting but chances of peeling are high. Linoleum is environmentally friendly but color options are few. Ceramic tiles are handsome and easy to maintain. Tiles are available in many designs and colors.
