Aesthetics and durability are key considerations when choosing the best type of flooring for your kitchen. This also applies when choosing the best hardwood finish for your kitchen floor. The gloss level of the wooden floor is very important.
Matte surfaces are on trend these days and are considered more natural, elegant and modern. However, different products will allow you to achieve a variety of finishes, from glossy to semi-gloss and matte.
You also need to consider the combination of the laminate flooring you choose with other wood surfaces and decor in your kitchen. Ultimately, however, you will need a durable finish that protects the wood in your kitchen from moisture, stains and wear. A durable finish requires less maintenance.
Using Proteco, we designed a range of kitchen floors that meet both aesthetic and durability requirements. Proteco comes in three flavors: Proteco Lacquer, Proteco Natura and Proteco Hardwax Oil. Proteco Lacquer is a semi-gloss varnish applied in six coats to make floors extra durable and is the recommended choice for kitchen floors. Proteco Natura is a matte finish applied in the same way as a semi-gloss, which is recommended for kitchen floors.
How do you maintain hardwood floors in the kitchen?
Maintaining your hardwood kitchen floors requires a few simple steps. To prevent dishwasher, sink, and refrigerator leaks, you must immediately wipe up spills and take precautions. A significant leak has the potential to damage the wood floor, subfloor, kitchen cabinets and wall joints, and we recommend using protective cloths under appliances and checking your appliances regularly.
By using carpet in front of the stove and sink, you can protect your parquet floors from oil splashes during cooking and washing. You can also use felt floor protectors under furniture, including tables and chairs, to prevent scratches and surface damage.

For the maintenance of wooden floors, it is recommended to clean the wooden floor with a dry mop or vacuum cleaner. Sometimes you may need some liquid to remove dirt and stains. But be careful not to use too much water. Tarkett Wood Floor Spray Cleaner for lacquered floors is easy to use and dries faster on the floor. Alternatively, if you have a waxy oily floor, Tarkett recommends using care and maintenance products from the OSMO range, including OSMO Wash & Care and OSMO Liquid Wax Remover.
