Hardwood Floors in the Kitchen
I don't know if hardwood floors are the best choice for me to have in my kitchen. I cook a lot and my kids help me so spills happen (often).
Hardwoods are great for handling spills in the kitchen. I wouldn't let that concern you. With kids you may want to consider going with a prefinished veneer. I think it is more durable and it costs less..
Hardwood floors will help the resale value of your home if you ever decide to sell. They are sought after so you may sell quicker too.
You would think this is common sense but I have seen hardwood floors in some kitchens take a beating for no reason. Have an area rug in front of your sink to take care of spills, If you have an outside entrance to your kitchen put one there too.
Just thought I would chime in here.
Does anyone recommend prefinished over unfinished hardwood floors or is it the other way around?
Prefinished!!
Also if you have a high traffic area in your kitchen get a rug runner to place there, it will save wear and tear on your hardwood.
Prefinished, that is what most hardwood floors are these days anyway.
Does anyone know anything about bamboo floors?

I couldn't believe it when I saw this laminate flooring that looks a lot like the stone I liked. I know it isn't the same but I would be happy with it. My question is how is laminate for kitchens? We hadn't even considered this type before I saw this pattern.

We are replacing our old floor in our kitchen and we ran across some natural cork flooring. It sounds nice and looks good. From what I understand it is durable and wears well.

First off I have never done any kind of home improvements concerning floors but I think I can handle it. Which is better to have sheets or tiles in the kitchen and which is easier to install.
