- Terracotta floors
A brief look at these floors would make you disregard them because of their rough-ish look; however, it is important to note that though they are not much to look at, they have survived century in old buildings such as in castles. They are non-slip therefore reducing accidents in the kitchen flooring and they give it a warm feel with resistance to mold and bacteria, which is very essential for the kitchen.
They are very easy to manipulate to suit your rustic kitchen theme; they can conform to castle like buildings and can last up to 75 years. They are easy to clean using only water and a mop but should be dried to avoid stagnant water in the kitchen flooring.
- Tile floors
There are different types of tile floors available and these are ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, and plastic or PVC tiles. However, the best tiles for the kitchen flooring are the ceramic tiles because they are long lasting and made to last and burnt to make them strong and resilient. They are also scratch resistant, cannot dent unless very high pressure is installed.
They can also make it easy for you to choose the theme or make them match the color of your theme in the kitchen flooring. Though they are generally cold, you can use this to your advantage and have the cold to even out the heat that can be generated in your kitchen. They are easy to clean and to maintain, where you are only needed to wipe the tile floor with warm water and detergent. You can also wax the floor to maintain a shine but too much wax can cause slippery floors, which is not advisable for the kitchen flooring.
- Rubber floors
Rubber floors have predominantly been used for places where there is a lot of noise such as music studios and nightclubs that break the barrier of sound. In the kitchen flooring, the rubber floors offer the advantage of adhesion where accidental slip-ups are avoided in the kitchen, making it a safe place for everyone; however for babies you need to baby proof the kitchen before you let your toddler into the kitchen.
They are easy to clean but you should keep fire away from them because they are highly flammable. However, some rubber polymers do not burn easily and should be used for the kitchen flooring. The floors are cleaned using wax that dissolves in water to both clean them and make them shiny.
