Flooring, Tiling & Heating
Kitchen Flooring
When planning a kitchen renovation, it’s easy to get caught up in choosing cabinets, appliances, and other exciting features. However, the flooring is one of the largest surfaces in the room and plays a crucial role in the overall look and feel of your space. The right choice can transform your kitchen, so it deserves careful consideration.
A great kitchen floor needs to perform on multiple levels. It should be durable enough to handle daily life, safe to walk on, and easy to clean. Of course, you’ll also want it to look fantastic. Choosing a floor that contrasts with your cabinets in material or colour can create a stunning visual impact.
To make the best choice, consider the style and material of your kitchen units. For a seamless look that works with any design, durable options like luxury vinyl tile, engineered wood, or non-slip porcelain tiles are excellent choices. If you prefer a more traditional aesthetic, natural stone tiles or the warmth of real wood can add timeless elegance.
If you opt for natural stone, we highly recommend a professional “Dry Treat” sealant to ensure your floor remains beautiful for years to come.
Kitchen Heating
Modern radiators come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and a variety of colours and materials that will help you to fit them into tight and tricky spaces often found in kitchens – where every last bit of space is precious.
If you have a little more space in your kitchen making a statement with a striking designer radiator could be the way to go as they are eye catching and have so much more to offer than a standard radiator.
Another option would be to look at underfloor heating which allows you to make the most of the space you have (which is a bonus in a smaller kitchen). You will also have overall heat emanating from the floor to give you an even temperature.
Tiles & Splashbacks
Kitchen Splashbacks: Kitchen splashbacks are a perfect example of how kitchen planning and interior design have become intertwined. The primary role of the splashback is to protect the walls from any hob and sink splashes but it is also more than this… it is a statement piece with a choice of luxe materials along with the revival of some old favourites. It’s quite often one of the first areas that get drawn to the eye when walking into a kitchen, so make it count & get it noticed…
Choose a smooth glossy surface if you have a modern kitchen. Consider acrylic, a material that is consistent throughout, UV resistant and available in a good choice of colours. Think carefully about colour. A splashback that looks great in a showroom many not appear the same under the lights you have at home. Discuss with your designer and request a sample to take home to view in your kitchen light.
