Only lacquered floors are recommended in a kitchen as it offers better protection against moisture than oiled floors and, as such, we don’t recommend oiled floors to be laid in kitchens. One thing to remember with these floors is that they cannot be mopped, or have water sat on the surface for long periods. Splashes from washing up and the like are acceptable, just wipe them up as soon as you see them.

VINYL - has long been an alternative kitchen flooring idea as it replicates tiles yet needs little maintenance. Both Amtico and Karndean boast a huge selection of vinyl tiles and planks that mimic natural stone, ceramic and wooden floors. These are water resistant and will withstand being mopped or cleaned each day. Vinyl flooring for a kitchen is very easy to maintain, and all are non slip kitchen flooring as standard.
