Can you use real wood flooring in a kitchen?

Yes, but it must be the right type. Traditional solid wood is unsuitable for kitchen use as it is vulnerable to moisture and swelling. We only supply engineered real wood flooring, as its multi-layered core provides essential stability against the temperature and humidity changes common in a busy kitchen. While highly durable, it still requires regular maintenance and prompt cleanup of spills to maintain its elegant finish. Still unsure about adding solid wood flooring to your home? Read our guide that showcases 7 key benefits of solid wood flooring.

Is engineered wood hard to clean?

Not at all. Modern engineered wood flooring is sealed and lacquered, making the surface highly resistant to staining and quick to clean. Unlike porous materials, a damp cloth is usually enough to wipe away food spills, splashes, and dirt. The key is to clean up spills immediately to prevent liquids from sitting on the joints and penetrating the wood's core.

How does engineered wood handle scuffs and heavy kitchen traffic?

Engineered wood is designed for durability. The top layer (the veneer) is genuine hardwood, which is hard-wearing. For maximum longevity in a high-traffic kitchen, look for planks finished with a UV lacquer or oil—this protective layer dramatically increases scratch resistance. We also recommend choosing thicker planks where possible, as they offer greater stability with constant use.

What is the typical lifespan of engineered wood flooring?

With proper installation and maintenance, high-quality engineered wood flooring can easily last 25 to 40 years or more. Its lifespan is directly tied to the thickness of the top hardwood veneer (the 'wear layer'). If you choose a floor with a thicker veneer, you have the option to sand and refinish it multiple times over its lifetime, renewing its appearance and significantly extending its lifespan.
