Renovation of the kitchen floor

The kitchen is the beating heart of the home. Few people do not enter their home kitchen during the day. The pleasant smell of food wafts from the kitchen to the corners of the rooms, encouraging every hungry person to leave their room.

The more beautiful this place is, the warmer the intimate center of the family and the more satisfying the spirit of the family. Renovation of the kitchen space, if done thoroughly, will make the space very attractive. Renovating and repairing the kitchen is one of the most expensive parts of renovating any home. If you plan to remodel your kitchen floor, read this article from Happy Construction.

Kitchen Renovation

Relocating the kitchen area means the water, sewage, gas, and electrical installations must be moved from the old kitchen to the new location. The most critical technical barrier to moving the kitchen is its sewer pipes. So it is necessary to first fully evaluate the aspects of the work in terms of moving the kitchen. After designing the work plan, start destroying the essential parts and avoid overtime and damaging unnecessary parts as much as possible. The kitchen floor is one of the parts that must be worked on, especially standardized. After finishing the cabinets and lighting, we will face another attractive effect on the house.

Kitchen floor insulation

In the reconstruction, the first important point is the insulation of the kitchen floor. The kitchen floor after the bath is one of the places that is constantly being washed. It causes the floor insulation to deteriorate and wear out after several years. To repair the insulation, concrete adhesive can be used on the floor. For standardization, applying insulation up to 40 cm on the wall is necessary. The location of the floor is also one of the parts that should be well insulated and rebuilt due to cracking of the pipe or inaccurate sealing.

Levelling the kitchen floor with the other parts of the house

In some kitchens, the floor is usually completely covered with ceramic. In previous designs, the kitchen floor was slightly higher than the rest of the house. Sewage outlets were also placed on the floor to wash the kitchen. But today, the kitchen floor is built at the same level as other parts of the house, and the sewage outlet is not placed in the kitchen. To renovate the floors of old kitchens, if the homeowner requests a levelling, an expert must first review and examine them. If he deems it necessary, the flooring should be demolished, and then the surface should be tilted.

Plumbing and installations

One of the solutions with the least amount of destruction for the reconstruction of kitchens is that it is possible to identify the path of water, sewage, and gas pipes in the kitchen and only destroy these paths. A set of wall packages are embedded inside the cabinet. If the employer wants to implement modern kitchens, they must do related plumbing before the tiling. Also, the plumbing should be replaced if the sink, dishwasher, and washing machine have changed in the new design. In some cases, the employer wants to remove the plumbing or wiring of his surface; in all these cases, it is necessary to determine the location of switches, sockets, and kitchen utensils before tiling. After these steps, the new ceramic or stone is applied uniformly to the floor.

The fit of the kitchen floor with the wall tiles

In renovating the kitchen floor, you should choose the right and suitable kitchen floor with wall tiles from different types of stones, ceramics, or tiles. Tiles between cabinets are crucial in beauty and attracting attention. The important thing is that in addition to beauty, the wall between cabinets should be easy to clean and have good resistance to heat. 

Critical criteria in choosing kitchen flooring

The kitchen floor is a big responsibility. It must withstand sticky spills, withstand heavy foot traffic, and withstand the brunt of daily kitchen use. All these criteria should appear in the beauty that is supposed to be in your home forever. So you should consider standards that are very important when choosing to floor for the kitchen, which include the following:

  • Durability: The flooring must be resistant to frequent food spills so that no stains remain. It is also possible for heavy cooking utensils to fall on them.
