The combination of laminate and tiles in the kitchen: 20 practical options
The modern range of floor coverings is very wide, but a universal material that could be successfully applied to all areas in the apartment has not yet been invented. What is acceptable for the bathroom will not work in the bedroom. The combined floor in the kitchen made of tiles and laminate is a good solution for finishing two different purpose zones.
Ceramic material occupies an area around the working surface, sink and stove.
This is due to the fact that during cooking there is a high chance of spilling or spilling something. Even a neat housewife may have spots on the floor. It will be much easier to wipe them off the tiles.
The dining area is covered with laminate flooring, as well as those parts of the kitchen where storage systems and free space are located.
To the touch, the lamellas of this coating are more pleasant, under them there is no need to arrange warm floors, which saves the budget. But the fact that such a material is afraid of water just makes combining with a hydrophobic flooring justified.
The shape of the fragments of the floor may be rectangular or make up the wrong shape. The main criterion here is the convenience of the owners moving from the working area to the dining room.
During the implementation of many design projects, the tiles frame the work area in the form of a strip no more than a meter deep. This allows you to use less material, but high quality.
The combination of ceramics and wood-based slats justifies itself both in small kitchens and in cooking areas of large rooms.
Modern laying technologies can easily combine the laminate not only with the classic square, but also with hexagonal tiles.
The most relevant is the combination in studio apartments and kitchen-living rooms, where the working area in the same room is not only with the dining room, but also with the resting place.
Together with a competent selection of flooring, not only the functionality of the kitchen is improved, but also its appearance.
The combined floor can be recommended both to the owners of small studio apartments, where the common space is a necessary measure, and to the owners of spacious apartments, where the combination of tiles and laminate will work for the beauty of the interior.
