Luxury vinyl plank is the dominant kitchen floor in current Indianapolis remodels. It is fully waterproof, dent-resistant, and matches main-level installs across kitchen, dining, and family room for a unified look.
Porcelain tile remains a strong kitchen choice in higher-end homes and traditional kitchens. It is more durable than LVP but harder underfoot and more expensive to install.
Engineered hardwood works in kitchens but requires careful handling of water spills. Solid hardwood is acceptable in higher-end remodels but is more sensitive to moisture.
LVP in a typical 200 to 300 square foot kitchen runs $1,800 to $4,500 installed. Porcelain tile runs $2,500 to $6,000. Engineered hardwood runs $3,500 to $8,000.
LVP installs in two to three days. Tile takes three to five days. Hardwood installs in two to four days.
For most modern remodels, yes. A continuous floor across kitchen, dining, and living areas makes the home feel larger and more cohesive.
