Frequently Asked Tile Questions
Tile flooring is a popular choice for kitchens because of its durability, resistance to water and stains, and versatility in design. It can handle heavy traffic, spills, and splashes, making it ideal for the active environment of a kitchen. Additionally, with countless styles, colors, and textures available, tile can fit any kitchen aesthetic, from modern to rustic.
Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are great choices for kitchens, but they do have some differences. Ceramic tiles are made from clay and then kiln-fired, making them a bit more porous and susceptible to water damage, although a good glaze can help protect them. Porcelain tiles are made from a finer, denser clay and fired at higher temperatures, making them less porous, more durable, and highly resistant to moisture and stains.
Tile flooring is relatively low-maintenance. Regular sweeping or vacuuming can remove debris, and a mop or a damp cloth can handle most spills. Deep cleaning may require specific tile cleaners, and grout may occasionally need to be resealed to keep it looking fresh.
Tile flooring is hard and durable, which means it can be less comfortable underfoot compared to other flooring options. However, it remains cool, making it a comfortable option in warmer climates. If desired, rugs can be used in strategic areas to add comfort.
Yes, tile flooring is a great conductor of heat, making it compatible with underfloor heating systems. This can add a touch of luxury and comfort to your kitchen, particularly in cooler months.
When properly installed and maintained, tile flooring can last for many years, often several decades. The lifespan of tile flooring depends largely on its quality, the level of traffic it experiences, and how well it's maintained.
Hardwood & Laminate Kitchen Flooring
When choosing hardwood kitchen flooring in Texas, notable brands like Armstrong Flooring, Shaw Flooring, Tarkett, Floorte, and 5th & Main offer various appealing options:
Hardwood Flooring:
- Solid Hardwood: Brands like Armstrong Flooring and 5th & Main offer resilient and elegant solid hardwood options in popular species like oak, hickory, and maple.
- Engineered Hardwood: Shaw Flooring and 5th & Main provide a vast selection of engineered hardwood products, boasting better resistance to temperature and humidity fluctuations.
Laminate Flooring:
- Wood-look Laminate: Armstrong, Shaw, and Tarkett provide laminate options that convincingly mimic real wood at a more economical price.
- Stone and Tile-Look Laminate: These brands also offer laminate that replicates the texture and color of materials like marble and slate.
- Water-Resistant Laminate: Shaw's Repel, Armstrong's Audacity, and Tarkett's AquaFlor offer laminates with enhanced water resistance, ideal for kitchens.
The choice among these flooring types will depend on your style preferences, budget, and kitchen needs. While hardwood offers a luxurious touch, it requires more care than laminate or vinyl. Laminate and vinyl, on the other hand, provide durability and style variety, often at a lower cost.

Frequently Asked Hardwood And Laminate Questions
Hardwood flooring brings a timeless, classic beauty to any kitchen, adding value to your home. It's durable, warm underfoot, and can be refinished multiple times. Laminate flooring, on the other hand, is cost-effective, highly durable, and mimics the look of hardwood, stone or tile, offering a variety of design options.
Hardwood is made from solid wood and comes in various species, stains, and finishes. Laminate is a composite product with a photographic layer that mimics the look of wood or stone, and a protective clear layer on top. While hardwood can be refinished, laminate can't, but it is more resistant to scratches and dents.
Both hardwood and laminate flooring require regular sweeping or vacuuming. Spills should be cleaned promptly to avoid damage, especially on hardwood. Hardwood floors may need refinishing over time, while laminate floors may require replacement of damaged sections.
Most laminate flooring can accommodate underfloor heating, but not all hardwood floors are suitable. It's best to consult with your contractor or flooring supplier before making a decision.
Hardwood floors are long-lasting, but they can be susceptible to water damage if not promptly cleaned. Laminate floors are highly durable and more resistant to water, scratches, and dents, making them suitable for busy kitchens.
Many hardwood floors are made from sustainably sourced timber and can last for generations, making them an eco-friendly choice. Laminate flooring uses less wood and some brands use recycled materials, making it a more sustainable option than other types of flooring.
Hardwood flooring comes in a range of finishes, from matte to high gloss. You can also choose between prefinished boards for consistency and speed of installation, or site-finished boards for a customized finish.
Laminate flooring is made to withstand high-traffic areas and is resistant to scratches and dents, making it a good choice for households with pets or children. It's important to choose a high-quality laminate to ensure the best durability.

Choosing the right flooring for a kitchen in Texas presents a range of options, and Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) from brands like Armstrong Flooring, Shaw Flooring, ProGen, and Raskin are among the top choices. Each offers a unique combination of durability, aesthetic appeal, and cost-effectiveness:

- Textured LVP: Textured LVP gives a more authentic feel underfoot and can help prevent slips in a high-traffic area like the kitchen. All these brands provide textured options, with finishes ranging from a rustic scraped look to a smoother embossed grain.
- Waterproof LVP: Given that kitchens are prone to spills and splashes, waterproof LVP can be a wise choice. Shaw's Floorte and Armstrong's PRYZM lines, for example, offer superior water resistance.
Your choice among these flooring types will depend on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and kitchen's specific needs. LVT and LVP flooring options offer both versatility in design and high durability, making them an excellent choice for your kitchen.
Frequently Asked LVP/LVT Questions
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring are known for their resilience, water resistance, and realistic mimicry of natural materials. Given the kitchen's busy and often wet environment, these characteristics make LVT/LVP an ideal choice. Additionally, they offer diverse design options to fit any kitchen style, from traditional to modern.
While both are luxury vinyl products, LVT mimics the look of ceramic or stone tile, and LVP is designed to resemble hardwood planks. The choice between the two often boils down to personal aesthetic preference and the desired look for your kitchen.
Yes, LVT and LVP are designed for easy maintenance. Regular sweeping or vacuuming will keep dust and debris at bay. For deeper cleaning, a damp mop with a mild cleaner is usually enough. Unlike real wood or stone, there's no need for waxing, polishing, or sealing.
Yes, most LVT and LVP flooring can be installed over radiant heat systems. This can create a warm and comfortable surface, especially beneficial in the cooler months.
Yes, tile flooring is a great conductor of heat, making it compatible with underfloor heating systems. This can add a touch of luxury and comfort to your kitchen, particularly in cooler months.
LVT and LVP flooring are known for their durability. When properly installed and cared for, they can last many years, often outlasting comparable options like laminate or traditional vinyl.
Both LVT and LVP are coated with a wear layer that helps resist scratches and stains, making them particularly suited for high-traffic areas like the kitchen.

What Our Clients Are Saying...
Recently worked with LoneStar to remodel a bathroom and replace the kitchen counters and backsplash. They far exceeded my expectations from initial discussions on designs to the completed and flawless finish. Anna was extremely helpful in assisting in selecting designs and colors. They continuously provided progress updates and cleaned at the end of each day. Impeccable costumer service and professional - I highly recommend!
We had our kitchen cabinets updated by painting them white. I am so glad we hired Lonestar Home Solutions and did not try to do it ourself! I knew what I wanted but I felt so much more confident I would get the right look with their help. I was impressed with the companies core values and professionalism and would definitely recommend them! Every part of the experience was smooth and timely. The staff are awesome people to work with! The painter that came to our house was very reliable, punctual, trustworthy, kept all areas clean, and clearly communicated his plans/schedule daily. He did an outstanding job on our cabinets! So go with these pros, you’ll be so glad you did!
I needed some modifications done to my counter and cabinets in my kitchen to accommodate a different style of stove. I had felt unsuccessful in finding someone to do this for me until I met Roland and his crew. They started the transformation quickly and only took 2 short days! They left absolutely no mess or cleaning for me! Thank you for helping me with "Solution "!
My wife and I have used LoneStar Home Solutions on 3 different occasions to do work on our lakehouse in Seguin. The most recent job was the biggest - a kitchen and bath remodel. We have really appreciated the care that their staff puts into making sure the project turns out the way we want it. Alycia, the project coordinator and Roland the construction manager are both excellent. They answer questions, help with decisions, and most importantly, are easy to contact and follow through with their commitments. We would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them.
We recently had LoneStar Home Solutions do work on our kitchen and bathroom. Roland was in charge of the crew and Donna was also a supervisor on our job. This company did outstanding work for us. They were very respectful of our time when asking questions. Roland was always accessible to answer any questions that we had. Donna was also keeping us apprised of any changes to or updates in our billing so it was easy to keep up with the accounting part. The work crew were especially kind and they all knew their trade well. We got to know some of the work crew pretty well. Sparky, Johnny, and Victor all did great tile and painting work. The guy who installed the shower also did a great job. I would definitely recommend LoneStar to any of my family members and friends for any remodel job in the future. We are very pleased with the way our home turned out.
LoneStar Solutions just remodeled my kitchen and they did an outstanding job! Donna was amazing. She kept me up to date and informed me about the progress. Roland and his crew made sure my kitchen was going to look good. They took the time to focus on the smallest details which made all the difference. I am very pleased with their work and would recommend them for your next home project.
