Look for a stain-resistant or waterproof floor
First of all, your kitchen flooring needs to be waterproof. Over the years, we’ve seen many different kinds of flooring for the kitchen, from linoleum (which is not totally impervious to water) to sheet vinyl to ceramic tile and more. Some people love the look of wood floors for the kitchen but aren’t fully aware of all of the challenges a wood kitchen floor poses.
Search for waterproof flooring that gives you the look of wood floors, but without all the hassle. SPC floors are a perfect alternative to wood floors: They’re waterproof flooring, so they’ll stand up to all of your regular kitchen spills, and they’re also stain-resistant, unlike some other flooring options.
Laminate has been used as flooring for kitchens and while the manufacturer may call it “waterproof” or “water-resistant,” its core is not waterproof and water exposure can still cause bubbling and warping.
SPC flooring is an excellent choice for the kitchen. All of our SPC flooring products are 100-percent waterproof, stain-resistant, and can work well in all types of spaces.

Safety first for kitchen flooring
In addition to being appearance and waterproof, a kitchen floor needs to be safe. This is the space where you may drop a dish or pot of spaghetti noodles on more than one occasion—how will your floor respond to it?
Ceramic tile has been a popular choice for kitchen floors for many years because it’s long-lasting and can handle spills, but if you drop something on the floor, you can potentially get cracks, chips, and broken tiles that would need to be replaced. However, not so with our SPC floors.
With SPC floors, you get an aesthetically pleasing floor, but with less worry. Spills and mishaps can damage the finish or cause dents on wood floors. Likewise, stone floors may be hard surfaces, but they’re porous and can stain easily.
Also, consider slips and falls. You don’t want to run the risk of slipping in the kitchen while pulling out a roast turkey from the oven. An irregular stone floor or a slick surface may be easier to trip over or slip-on. A floor such as SPC flooring with some texture can help prevent slips and falls.
