Your kitchen is the hub of entertainment, family meals, and making memories with all who enter your home. Choosing the right residential flooring is essential to the longevity and aesthetic of your kitchen, so it’s important to know what to look for.
You’ll likely want a flooring type that can withstand the weight of heavy appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, and foot traffic from family and guests. You’ll also want a flooring type that can withstand moisture and won’t corrode if spills aren’t immediately cleaned up, causing mold and mildew issues.
But what type of flooring can give your kitchen an updated look, not fall apart if you spend a lot of time entertaining, and will last for years? Rubber kitchen flooring is ideal for busy homes and still offers a modern look with minimal cleaning and maintenance.
What to Know About Rubber Flooring
Rubber Flooring for Residential Homes
Rubber flooring might not be top of mind when thinking of residential flooring, but it’s actually quite effective at keeping your floors strong and clean, and it’s gaining in popularity as more homeowners understand its benefits.
Here are some of rubber flooring’s benefits:
-
Water and moisture resistance
-
Resistant against heavy impact
-
Resistant to scratches and scuffs
-
Resistant to chemical spills
-
Resistant to stains, mold, and mildew
-
Maintain their original beauty longer than other flooring types.
All of these benefits are important to your kitchen and includes features that are difficult to find in other types of flooring. For example, hardwood flooring looks sharp and can last for decades if they’re maintained, but they aren’t resistant to moisture, and messes must be immediately handled if you want your hardwood flooring to last as long as it’s intended to.
How the Look of Rubber Flooring Can Complement Your Home
Whether you have a contemporary home or a more traditional interior, rubber flooring will complement any aesthetic if installed correctly and if you have professional guidance to point you in the right direction. You’ll have a selection of colors and patterns to choose from that will go with your countertops, appliances, and other furnishings.
Rubber flooring can also seamlessly flow into other rooms or spaces in the house. So, whether you have a great room or multiple walls that divide each space, rubber flooring will work for your residence.
