On a budget, they can cost around \u00a311,500. But, for a full bespoke renovation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkatrade.com\/blog\/cost-guides\/renovate-kitchen-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>the average cost is \u00a335,000<\/strong><\/a>. <strong>The difference between these two average costs will come down to materials and workmanship.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people want granite, quartz, or marble for their countertops. Then there are the cabinets, which need to withstand regular use and <strong>hold the weight of plates, glasses, and everything else you store in them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, there\u2019s the flooring. <strong>The kitchen floor is a high-traffic area<\/strong> so you want heavy-duty material that can handle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the&nbsp;early 20th century, linoleum (or lino) became trendy as kitchen flooring. <strong>This trend continued well into the 90\u2019s,<\/strong> becoming a popular budget option. People still use it today, but you\u2019ll see less of it. That\u2019s because technology and trends have evolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Logistics make imported materials easier to get a hold of, <strong>which leads to what seems like thousands of flooring choices<\/strong>. But don\u2019t worry! We\u2019re going to help you navigate through your options, so you can pick the best tile for your kitchen floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PICKING THE BEST TILE FOR YOUR KITCHEN FLOOR<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some things to consider before we get into all your options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DURABILITY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, your kitchen is a high-traffic area, so <strong>you need durable flooring<\/strong>. This means that you should avoid choosing cheap stick-on tile to save money. It\u2019s popular, but it isn\u2019t the best tile for kitchen floor. The corners will come up, they tear, and the adhesive may give out. <strong>You\u2019ll know a tile\u2019s durability by its&nbsp;PEI rating<\/strong>. This is a system that tells you, in essence, where the best place to install a certain tile is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PEI 0 \u2013 <strong>Absolutely no foot traffic<\/strong>; These tiles are not suitable for floors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PEI 1 \u2013 No foot traffic, <strong>or soft footwear worn<\/strong>; in general, refers to most wall tiles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PEI 2 \u2013 Light foot traffic; <strong>includes wall tiles and flooring in guest bathrooms<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PEI 3 \u2013 Light to moderate use; includes wall tiles, <strong>most flooring, and countertops<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PEI 4 \u2013 Moderate to heavy use; <strong>residential and industrial<\/strong> flooring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PEI 5 \u2013 Heavy to extra-heavy use; not typically found in residential applications, but <strong>used for commercial and industrial flooring<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilemountain.co.uk\/?mkwid=sK4kxuCWP_dc&amp;pcrid=663267818800&amp;pkw=tile%20mountain&amp;pmt=e&amp;product=&amp;campaign=TileMountain&amp;group=&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwxuCnBhDLARIsAB-cq1oFJ19IBitLvEtFy-jguIcTJEhN4Se-bWX2PhQHK6gpIlmZtD8ngK8aAjiOEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tile Mountain\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> handy guide to understanding <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilemountain.co.uk\/blog\/pei-ratings-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">PEI ratings<\/a><\/strong> to get more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all manufacturers list the PEI rating for their tiles.

You may love the look of a 60x60cm tile but if you have a smaller kitchen, using it may not fit well or look well-proportioned. <strong>Smaller, decorative tile may accent your countertops<\/strong> and complement your aesthetic, but may not give you the durability you need. They also may not be cost-effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s very common for people to use 30&#215;30 tiles for a kitchen floor<\/strong>. However, you must make sure you have exact measurements. Measuring incorrectly and not ordering enough tile are two of the&nbsp;biggest mistakes&nbsp;in flooring projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can avoid a lot of headaches by <strong>hiring a flooring contractor<\/strong>, but if you\u2019re going 100% DIY, be sure to measure the area more than once. Additionally, make sure you buy enough tile for the project. <strong>Flooring stores and even big-box retailers do sell out of products<\/strong>. This means, just because there were dozens of cases available on Friday doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019ll be there Monday. <strong>Keep this in mind<\/strong> when selecting your best tile for kitchen floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">COLOUR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to colour, you have a lot of options. This comes down to what you like and what will match the rest of your kitchen. <strong>Keep in mind that, while darker colours may \u201chide\u201d more, they can make your kitchen appear smaller<\/strong>. Lighter hues will brighten your space and make it bigger but won\u2019t hide much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TEXTURE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Texture and safety go hand in hand. <strong>Textured and matte tiles are less slippery<\/strong> than glass or smooth tiles. Your kitchen floor will get wet at times, and even slippery from spills. <strong>Keep this in mind when selecting the best tile for your kitchen floor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">COST CONSIDERATIONS <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When selecting tiles for your kitchen floor, it&#8217;s important to consider the costs. <strong>Prices can vary significantly depending on the type of tile<\/strong>, with natural stone and high-quality porcelain being more expensive than ceramic options. Additionally, the cost of installation can add a substantial amount to your budget, particularly if you require professional services. <strong>Sourcing tiles locally<\/strong> can help reduce costs and support local businesses, while also potentially providing access to bespoke designs and faster delivery times. <strong>Always compare prices from multiple suppliers <\/strong>and consider long-term value over initial expenditure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INSTALLATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a first-timer, prepping and installing tiles is a challenge, but it\u2019s not impossible. <strong>Just make sure you follow the manufacturer\u2019s suggestions<\/strong>. You also need to&nbsp;use the right tile cutter. Many equipment places rent them out but you can actually buy a&nbsp;wet table saw&nbsp;for less than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget your installation job&nbsp;needs more&nbsp;than just tiles and a saw.

Let\u2019s look at how to maintain different types of tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WOOD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardwood flooring is as popular as ever. If you live in an older home, you probably have it throughout your house, including in the kitchen. But, <strong>natural hardwood is high-maintenance<\/strong>. You need to re-seal it every so often and it can get scratched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Laminate is more durable<\/strong>, though may not match your existing hardwood flooring. Wood look tile is a popular alternative that\u2019s made of porcelain but with a finish that resembles wood. <strong>These can be tricky to install, so be sure to read up on all the unique challenges you\u2019ll face.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PORCELAIN TILES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain and ceramic tiles are often confused. They look alike and share the same colours and sizes. But, believe it or not, <strong>there are differences between them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TM-Floor-tile-2.jpg\" alt=\"tiled bathroom floor\" class=\"wp-image-60312\" style=\"width:332px;height:332px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TM-Floor-tile-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TM-Floor-tile-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TM-Floor-tile-2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilemountain.co.uk\/p\/lucca-white-anti-slip-matt-stone-effect-porcelain-wall-and-floor-tile.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tile Mountain, Lucca White Anti Slip Matte Stone Effect Porcelain<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain has added sand to its clay mixture. <strong>It\u2019s made with heat and pressure, so the result is a harder, denser material.<\/strong> It\u2019s also less porous. Because of their durability, porcelain tiles are also installed outside in patios, porches, or verandas. <strong>They withstand any climate<\/strong>, so they\u2019re very versatile. The colouring is added to the clay, creating a richer colour that won\u2019t fade as easily as other types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Glazed porcelain is different<\/strong>. During the firing process, the material gets glazed to give it a glass-like effect. <strong>The colour is added during the glazing process<\/strong>, so it may appear uneven. <strong>It also scratches easier than non-glazed and is more slippery than non-porous porcelain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing porcelain tile requires special tools and patience. If you\u2019re going it alone, make sure you follow the manufacturer\u2019s recommendations.&nbsp;Our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/product\/dc-250-python-1200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/product\/dcx-250-xpert-1550\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DCX<\/a>&nbsp;tile saws work well for both ceramic and porcelain<\/strong>, but its ability to cut the latter is where they shine brightest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CERAMIC TILES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ceramic tiles are softer and more porous than porcelain<\/strong>. This material also goes through a glazing process to create a harder surface. These tiles are available in any colour you can think of and in many different textures. While they are softer, <strong>the glazing gives them a surface that is very easy to clean<\/strong>. They\u2019re low maintenance and durable, which is why they\u2019re a favourite among tilers and homeowners alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Installing ceramic tiles is easier than working with porcelain<\/strong>, though installing any tile is difficult if you\u2019ve never done it before. Even if you have, one misstep can throw off the whole project. Taking your time during the prep work will make the job smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STONE TILES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural stone tiles are exactly what they sound like. They\u2019re made from stone, not clay or sand. The most popular stone tiles are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Slate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Granite<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limestone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travertine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marble<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because these are natural substances, <strong>you\u2019ll need to re-seal them every two to three years<\/strong>. There are many types of natural stone finishes, however the two most popular ones are polished and honed.&nbsp;<strong>Polished stone, like marble, is slippery<\/strong>. Sometimes it doesn\u2019t even have to be wet to cause someone to slip or fall. However, polished stone is gorgeous and the natural beauty of the material can shine through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, <strong>honed stone has a rougher texture<\/strong>. It also has a duller colour. However, <strong>the rougher texture does provide anti slip properties<\/strong>, and sometimes a duller colour tile works best to allow other aspects of the renovation to shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TT-floor-tile-5-honed-marble-s.jpg\" alt=\"best tile for kitchen floor\" class=\"wp-image-60285\" style=\"width:329px;height:329px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TT-floor-tile-5-honed-marble-s.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TT-floor-tile-5-honed-marble-s-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/TT-floor-tile-5-honed-marble-s-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toppstiles.co.uk\/carrara\/carrara-honed-marble-tile-30-5cm-x-61cm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Topps Tiles, Carrara Honed Marble<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common natural stone you\u2019ll find in a honed texture is travertine or granite. <strong>You can also find limestone and other natural stone tiles in many textures and finishes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural stone tiles generally come in larger sizes and <strong>are more expensive than porcelain or ceramic tile<\/strong>.
