About hardwood, laminate and vinyl plank flooring
Is hardwood a good idea in a kitchen?
Yes, with sensible care. Wipe up spills and use mats near the sink. Wood can be refinished, which tile and vinyl cannot.
Is luxury vinyl plank really waterproof?
Many vinyl plank products resist water well, and the seams matter. We help you choose a product made for kitchens.
What is the difference between laminate and vinyl?
Laminate is a photo layer over fiberboard. Vinyl plank is a plastic-based plank, usually more water resistant. We compare them for your kitchen.
