Why choose a PVC floor for the kitchen?
The kitchen is a room where things get spilled, splashed and dropped. A vinyl or PVC floor is fully waterproof, resists grease splatter and is easy to mop without worrying about grout or stains. On top of that, PVC stays comfortably warm underfoot, which makes a real difference during a long cooking session or in an open kitchen that flows into the living area.
The benefits of a vinyl kitchen floor
- 100% waterproof, even when liquids spill and splash
- Hard-wearing against sliding chairs and dropped utensils
- Warmer and softer underfoot than ceramic tile
- Suitable for underfloor heating
- Easy to mop, with no grout to discolour
- Available as click (new build) or glue-down (renovation over existing floor)
Tip: one continuous floor in an open-plan kitchen
Got an open kitchen that flows into the living room? Lay the same PVC floor continuously across both zones. It removes the threshold or transition, makes the space feel bigger and gives a much calmer interior look. For heavily used kitchens, aim for use class 32 or 33, and if you tend to drop sharp items, watch the wear-layer thickness: the higher it is, the more protection you get.
