Am interested in the floors you chose for the kitchen. Are they wood?

They are tile. Don't remember who makes them. Try the designer: http://www.houzz.com/pro/lisabakamis/lisa-bakamis-interior-design

We are also very much biased, and would also be in the wood camp for all the reasons already mentioned.. If you do go that way, ask your fitter to install a matwell by the front door for an entrance mat - this will help remove the grit and dirt and limit the potential for scratching your new floor. good luck with the project - Cambium Floors

Hi Emily, Wood flooring in the kitchen is perfectly fine. You can opt for a varnished floor that require no special maintenance apart from adequate cleaning, or an oiled floor that do require regular oiling but that is also easier to repair or re-sand. underfloor heating is not a problem either and although wood is an excellent insulator (unlike ceramic tiles) the heat from the underfloor heating will make your wood floor warm and comfortable. However, always remember that with underfloor heating you need to keep en eye on air and floor temperature and air humidity. Too dry (which is often the case with underfloor heating) and gapping between floorboards can appear. Too humid and the floor may "cup". Fell free to get in touch if you need more info. All the best.

Wood flooring or LVT throughout? Including kitchen? Pls, your advice!

I have solid wood flooring in most of my house, tiling in the kitchen and hall. We bought the wood unfinished and did all of the finishing ourselves (it was already sanded). Cost wise it worked out around £30 per square metre which is really good. Most of the wood I finished in Osmo Oil either Raw first and then clear or white first and then clear. It does darken and warm with age so this needs to be factored in when designing colour palettes. If you like fairly neutral palettes this can work well, if you prefer lots of colour then a more consistent Amtico product or factory finished wood may be preferable. I wanted to be able to re-finish and re-oil my floors if necessary. I have LVT in my studio which is really practical and looks good, however it doesn't feel like wood.

Considering Engineered wood for kitchen - am I mad!

We moved into a house with engineered wood flooring in the kitchen that hasn’t been well looked after - lots of creaking/gaps when we moved in. Then the old cheap dishwasher we inherited flooded as the seal went so several planks are warped. But as the kitchen is fitted on top we have been told we can’t really do much without replacing the whole kitchen… There are grease marks all over the floor elsewhere and it’s worn where the bar stools go. We use a mop and wood floor cleaner but I don’t think it gets it as clean as a full bucket of water would. I’m not sure how many years old it all is but I will never voluntarily have wood floors in a kitchen again!
