Is Your Flooring Pet-Friendly?

As a pet owner, you’d do anything to keep your furry friend content and thriving. But as a homeowner, you’d do almost anything to keep your flooring intact. If you’re a pet owner and a homeowner, you know that pets and flooring are rarely a good combination. Fortunately, you don’t have to keep your pets outside just to keep your floors nice.

In this blog post, bathroom renovation company DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Lakes lists pet-friendly flooring materials to consider.

Best of the Best: Porcelain Tile

The ultimate flooring choice for discerning pet owners, porcelain tiles can handle just about anything. Porcelain tiles have a nonporous surface that’s unfazed by the occasional pet accident. You don’t have to worry about deterioration either, because porcelain tiles are scratch-, stain- and moisture-proof. On top of all that, porcelain tile flooring can be designed to look like stone or wood, giving you an aesthetically pleasing yet durable flooring option to match any decor.

Concrete is also a good flooring option if you want all the advantages of porcelain tiles but are going for a different look.

A Solid Runner-Up: Hardwood

It’s not difficult to see why hardwood is a favorite among bathroom and kitchen remodeling contractors. After all, hardwood is one of the most versatile flooring materials out there. For maximum durability, choose species such as oak, hickory or Brazilian cherry. The best part? Wood flooring can be repaired by the section, so you don’t have to replace your entire floor should anything go awry.

Vinyl & Laminate

Vinyl provides the optimal grip surface for your four-legged friends so they don’t slip and slide. Laminate, on the other hand, is scratch-resistant. Both of these affordable and low-maintenance materials are good, pet-friendly flooring options.
