Countertop Options

Your countertops are a significant focal point of your kitchen so take time to consider your options. Choosing a material that can withstand daily use, spills, heat, and occasional impacts is crucial. Here are a few of the most durable countertop options to consider for a high-traffic kitchen.

Quartz

Quartz countertops are incredibly hard and durable as they are engineered from crushed quartz stone mixed with resin. They are a non-porous surface so they resist staining and don’t require additional sealing. Quartz is available in an almost endless range of colors and patterns which makes it easy to find a style that complements your kitchen.

Granite

Granite is an extremely durable natural stone. Each individual slab is unique which provides a one-of-a-kind look for your kitchen. Granite is heat and scratch-resistant, and when properly sealed, can also resist stains. Even though granite requires sealing from time to time, it is a popular choice for high-traffic kitchens due to its robust nature.

Solid Surface

Solid surface countertops are made from a blend of acrylic and polyester. These countertops are resistant to stains and easy to clean since they are non-porous. These materials can be seamlessly integrated with sinks and backsplashes which reduces the risk of trapped dirt and grime. They are, however, more prone to scratches or heat damage compared to quartz and granite.

Concrete

Concrete countertops are a unique and customizable option for your kitchen remodel. They can be tailored to your preferred color and texture and have proven to be highly durable. Concrete can be sealed to help prevent staining and water absorption. It is important to regularly perform maintenance however to preserve their appearance. Their industrial look could be the perfect addition to a modern kitchen design.

Flooring Choices

In high-traffic kitchens, your flooring needs to withstand nearly constant foot traffic, spills, and the potential impact of dropped items. Here are a few flooring choices that not only durable but also stylish.

Porcelain Tile

Porcelain has been proven to be one of the most durable flooring options available. It is denser and harder than ceramic so it is highly resistant to scratches, stains, and moisture. Porcelain comes in a large variety of colors, patterns, and styles. Some styles even mimic natural stone or wood to make porcelain an option in pretty much any kitchen design. It is ideal for high-traffic kitchens because of its longevity and low maintenance.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring has become more and more popular due to its durability and versatility. It is made to mimic the appearance of hardwood or stone but it is much more resilient. LVP is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and very comfortable underfoot. It is also relatively easy to install which makes it a cost-effective choice for kitchen remodels.

Natural Stone

Natural stone flooring includes slate, granite, or travertine and it offers unparalleled durability and timeless beauty. They are naturally resistant to stains or scratches but they may require extra sealing for protection against moisture. Natural stone can be a little pricey, but if you are looking for a luxurious and elegant feel, your high-traffic kitchen will thank you for making the investment.

Engineered Hardwood

Engineered hardwood mimics the look of traditional hardwood but adds a level of durability that real wood cannot offer. Its top layer of a real wood veneer over a plywood or high-density fiberboard core makes it more stable and resistant to moisture. Engineered hardwood can withstand heavy traffic and use and can be refinished again and again to refresh its appearance.

Finding the balance between durability and aesthetics is the main goal when choosing the materials for your kitchen remodel. If you choose robust countertops like quartz or granite and opt for resilient flooring like porcelain tile or LVP, you can be sure to design a kitchen that not only looks incredible but also withstands the demands of daily life. Choosing to invest in durable materials will ensure that your kitchen remains both functional and beautiful for years to come. If you are still curious about your options or don’t know where to start on your kitchen remodel design, your local Kitchen Solvers team is here to help every step of the way.
