When it comes to designing your kitchen, the right flooring makes all the difference. It needs to look great, handle spills, foot traffic, and heat, and still be easy to clean because, let’s face it, kitchens are busy spaces. At APC, we’ve developed residential kitchen flooring solutions that do all of that and more.
Whether you’re planning a new indoor kitchen, an alfresco cooking space, or both, we’ve got options that balance style, practicality, and long-lasting performance. Here’s a guide to help you figure out what works best for your home.
Flooring That Handles Life in the Kitchen
Your kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s where meals are made, kids drop crumbs, coffee spills happen, and friends gather. That’s why the right flooring matters. Epoxy flooring is a great choice because it’s seamless, grout-free, and easy to clean. There are no gaps for dirt, moisture, or spills to sneak into, making everyday maintenance simple.
Epoxy floors are also highly customisable. You can select colours, flake sizes, and decorative effects to suit your style, from understated elegance to bold, statement-making finishes. They’re durable under foot traffic, resist stains, and perform reliably in a busy kitchen.
Epoxy flooring has long been a staple in busy restaurant kitchens and catering facilities, offering hard-wearing commercial solutions. Its popularity is growing in the residential sector, with a wide range of options available.
Ultra Flake® - Practical and Customisable Kitchen Flooring
Ultra Flake® is a favourite for kitchens, and for good reason. It creates a seamless, non-porous surface that is easy to clean, resists stains, and withstands constant foot traffic. You can also customise everything from the flake size and colour blend to add highlights, glitter, or mica flakes, so your floor can feel completely unique to your home.
Hyper Flake® - Stone Look Kitchen Flooring Without the Fuss
If you love the clean look of natural stone but don’t want the maintenance, Hyper Flake® is a great option. It has the same seamless, easy-to-clean surface as Ultra Flake® but comes in carefully selected colour blends that suit most modern kitchens. Plus, everyday dirt and spills don’t absorb or show, so your floor looks neat with minimal effort.
Cut and Coat - Sleek Kitchen Flooring with a Contemporary Style
For a modern, polished concrete look, the Cut and Coat system is ideal. It provides a smooth, hard-wearing, and stain-resistant surface, making it perfect for kitchens that are both practical and stylish with a modern industrial edge. This system works particularly well in open-plan or minimalist interiors, where the flooring blends seamlessly with the overall design.
Swirl Coat & Metallic Marble - Kitchen Flooring That Makes a Statement
If you want a kitchen floor that really wows, Swirl Coat and Metallic Marble let you get creative. From subtle marble-like effects to bold, moody designs, the possibilities are endless, and no application is ever the same, resulting in a unique finish every time.
Note: High-gloss finishes are slippery, especially when wet.
Outdoor and Alfresco Kitchen Flooring Solutions
If your cooking and entertaining extend outdoors, you want flooring that works as hard outside as it does inside. APC flake systems, like Ultra Flake® and Hyper Flake®, can extend seamlessly into outdoor kitchens and alfresco areas.
A grip additive can be added to these finishes for extra slip resistance, so your indoor and outdoor zones look cohesive and stay safe, even when we. As these systems are seamless and non-porous, clean-up is quick, even after BBQs and pool parties.
Q&A: Residential Kitchen Flooring
Floors that are seamless, non-porous, and easy to clean (like Ultra Flake® or Hyper Flake® are ideal. They resist stains, handle moisture, and can handle everyday wear without grout lines trapping dirt.
Absolutely! Epoxy floors are perfect for indoor kitchens. They are easy to clean, non-porous, and can handle spills and heavy foot traffic with ease.
High-gloss systems, such as Swirl Coat and Metallic, become slippery when wet, and this needs to be considered in areas where spills are likely to occur. They’re perfect for creating a wow-factor floor, as long as you can manage the occasional splash.
Definitely. Ultra Flake® lets you pick flake size, colour blends, and even add highlights. Swirl Coat and Metallic Marble give you full control for a statement look.
