How do you choose kitchen flooring with all of the tile options available?

Well, to start off you already have a clear idea of the area that needs to be tiled so let's look at some traffic classification ratings for tiled floors recommended by the Porcelain Enamel Institute (PEI):-

• CLASS 1 - No Foot Traffic
  Tiles technically unsuitable for floors (i.e. Interior Residential/Commercial Wall Tiles)
• CLASS 2 - Light Foot Traffic
  Residential and Commercial Interior Wall Tiles and Residential bare foot traffic (Bathroom Floors)
• CLASS 3 - Light To Moderate Foot Traffic
  Residential/Commercial Wall Tiles and Residential Bathroom Floors. Soft Soled Shoe traffic, Bench-CounterTops
• CLASS 4 - Moderate To Heavy Traffic
  Residential, Medium Commercial and Light Institutional Floor or Wall Tile Applications
• CLASS 5 and Above - Heavy Or Extra Heavy Traffic
  Residential, Commercial and Institutional floor tiles and wall tile applications with heavy traffic.
  Moderate soiling - Extra heavy traffic, abrasive dirt, chemically more resistant

Kitchen Floor Tiles - Select Tiles Suitable For A Heavy Traffic Area

Kitchens - From Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Even Supper your kitchen will be used throughout the day.

The kitchen floor surface you choose needs to be able to cope with continuous traffic, resist water, prevent staining from food and beverages while being easy to keep clean.

Your kitchen is probably the most expensive room in your house and next to the bathroom is one of the most difficult to refurbish. It makes sense to look at flooring options that are going to resist wear and maintain their aethetic qualities for the lifetime of your kitchen.

If you're considering fitting a tiled kitchen floor as part of a refurbishment programme then porcelain and quartz floor tiles will provide a high quality finish that can add value to your property.

If you want a floor surface to cope with the traffic, stain resistance and cleanliness your kitchen needs then consider choosing from a variety of porcelain tiles or quartz tiles in contemporary colours and finishes for a modern kitchen or select a tile finish that can mimic natural stone tiles such as marble, travertine, slate and granite.
