KITCHEN FLOORING

Katie Ciara
6 år sedan
Hello. We are starting to get ideas for our future kitchen reno. All cabinets will be painted white, light backsplash & counters, new stainless steel appliances. We are NOT fans of the current beig-ey tile with dirty grout that is in our kitchen. With all the cosmetic changes we plan to make we are stuck on what to do with the flooring. Do we try and match the wood in our connected family room? Or do a new tile in a lighter shade to compliment the changes? Photos are the kitchen in its current state and then the floor of the family room (wood) with the step up the kitchen (tile).

    Ooooohhhh goody! The hardwood is in SERIOUS need of a redo! Perfect! Excellent! Awesome! Now is the time to add in more hardwood (matching for species, cut and plank width) and then having EVERYTHING sanded and refinished at the same time! Done like dinner!

    It looks like you have ?red? oak in a narrow plank...so it should be relatively easy and relatively cheap (when compared to other wood species/planks) to add more in.

    Your hardwoods are in desperate need of refinishing. I would take that as a sign from the Design Gods and look at adding in more hardwood into the kitchen while you are paying a professional hardwood flooring installer the money to be on site to sand/refinish the existing hardwoods. It works out to be cheaper in the end.

      Agree. Adding to existing, especially weave in of new to old does require what SJ McCarthy says, "a professional hardwood flooring installer"..."sand and finish" expert.

      It's unanimous...add new hardwood to match your existing wood, and have everything sanded, stained, and finished by a pro. Looks like you have red oak, it's easy to match for the new floor, and you could do a light grey stain on the oak for a clean, modern look.

      Ooops! Just reread your post and see that there is a step down...no need for weave in.

      Just be sure that the hardwood floor contractor matches the specie' as well as the width, cut and typical lengths to what you have.

      Change tiles with wood. Refinish old wood definitely, it seems to me that you have a prefinished white oak flooring, make sure before you buy new floors to have a flooring guy come out and do a bit of sanding to determine if the existing floor is white oak or red oak as they take stain differently and not easy to match. I am 99% positive it's white oak based on the grain of the wood, also if you refinish make sure that they sand out completely the bevels as they are pre stained and any stain you will use wil not stick, would be strange having thrm refinished and thr bevels showing different colors. In the kitchen use unfinished as most of prefinished ones have beveles.....

      I agree with Mysha that what you have is probably prefinished oak flooring. I see white oak also, but this could be a mix of white and red. Yes, I have seen this in some prefinished oak floors.

      Almost looks like a V groove hardwood. Somewhat related.
