What is the longest-lasting flooring for a kitchen?

• <div><p>Porcelain and ceramic tile are two of the longest-lasting kitchen flooring materials. However, while these materials can withstand a good amount of daily wear and tear, they’re likely to crack if you drop something heavy on them, and they’re pricier than many other options. On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-buy-and-install-ceramic-tile.htm">installing a ceramic tile kitchen floor costs</a> between $1,240 and $11,250. Other durable kitchen flooring options include natural stone and concrete.</p></div>

Will buckled floors go back down?

• <div><p>If there’s minimal buckling and it was caused by minor moisture damage, the planks may lay flat again once you’ve addressed the underlying issue. However, laminate floors that have experienced significant moisture damage won’t lay flat and must be replaced. If the issue only affects one or two boards, you can replace them yourself relatively easily. However, it’s best to call a pro if the problem is more widespread.</p></div>

Do dogs scratch LVP flooring?

• <div><p>Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring is a thick, high-quality vinyl that joins with click-lock edges. Unlike some budget vinyl flooring, it’s tough, easy to install, and scratch-resistant. While this means it’s much less likely to get damaged by your dog’s claws, it isn’t scratch-proof. Regularly trimming long dog nails reduces the risk of scratch marks and helps keep your dog comfortable.</p></div>
