What makes a floor pet-proof?
The best floors for pets are waterproof floors such as laminate or vinyl. Other qualities you need are wear resistance and soundproofing – elements that most quality laminates and vinyls possess.
Also, slip-free fast paw resistance is essential. Whether chasing cats or dashing after dogs, you want to ensure that you and your pet are safe and slip-free. Choose slip-resistant or slip-proof floors, features usually combined with waterproofing. Make sure you choose both for the perfect floor for your pet.
For claw-proof and scratch-resistant floors, turn to laminate, vinyl or LVT ranges with enhanced scratch-resistant treatment layers. For example, Quick-Step uses “Scratch Guard” treatments to make its floors up to 10 times more scratch-resistant. Thus, they are hard-wearing, scratch-resistant and ideal for dogs, cats, and other pets’ paws and claws.
You need to look at waterproof, specially treated, water-resistant, wood-look LVT floors for homes with pets. COREtec and Lamett are two affordable choices designed with wood-like qualities in both appearance and feel. For something more design-led, consider Amtico and Harvey Maria. There are many layout and wood tone options. Pet-proof luxury wood flooring, indeed!
Soundproof and noise-resistant floors come from acoustic flooring designed to minimise unwanted noise. Two great choices for pets are FirmFit and Berry Alloc. Berry Alloc is both affordable and engineered to be one of the most silent types of vinyl on the market. FirmFit’s ranges are innovated for advanced soundproofing, with industry claims of being six times quieter than most other rigid-core floors! Great for silencing lively, heavy-footed animals or the pitter-patter of tiny paws, but also to reduce anxiety and clatter for nervous pets. So, humans, felines and canines can always relax in silence, no matter who is running riot.
