3 Pet-Friendly Flooring Options for your Furry Friends

28th September

Choosing the right type of flooring for your home is no easy task. Add your furry friends into the equation now and you get a whole list of factors to consider before you make your selection. Even though they are proud members of the family, our furry companions love to keep us busy and they often leave stains, odours or scratches that can quickly damage any floor surface.

The good news? Even with your scratchy pet, you can still have a beautiful and shiny floor. It’s important to invest in the right type of flooring that your pets will find comfortable and you will still love.

To make your job easier, we’ve got you covered with the most popular pet-friendly flooring options that your dogs and cats will enjoy while you can rest assured your floor remains stain-free and scratch-resistant:

  1. Luxury Vinyl Tiles

Vinyl flooring is an attractive and pet-friendly option that is resistant to scratches, dents and is more durable than natural wood or stone flooring. Luxury Vinyl Tiles are also waterproof which is ideal if your pet is prone to accidents or loves to bring the water inside the bedroom after a good bath.

Additionally, the vinyl tiles are easy to clean, removing dust and dirt particles easily with a regular sweep. The tiles come in a variety of shapes, colours and forms that can be fitted in any room and which are produced with rich, bold and natural colours in order to appear detailed and realistic. Therefore, you can relax knowing you won’t need to compromise on the style and design of your home environment.

  1. Engineered Wood

Wood flooring can meet your required aesthetics while still providing a comfortable option that your furry companions will enjoy. If you are on a budget, engineered wood flooring provides an affordable and highly durable solution that will keep the floor surface easy-to-clean and warm for your pets. Whilst similar to solid wood flooring, engineered wood flooring has a versatile nature which can withstand high levels of moisture and changes in temperature.

  1. Laminate Flooring

With the look and texture of a wood or stone floor, laminate floors are tough, water resistant and durable which is why they are becoming so increasingly popular. Laminate floors are much more affordable than solid hardwoods, as well as they are easy to maintain, thus being a favourable choice for homeowners.

However, laminate flooring might not be the best flooring choice if you have older pets as it can get quite slippery and it doesn’t offer much grip for your pets’ paws. To prevent that, you can choose a textured laminate with a stronger thickness so you can eliminate the paws’ sounds and give your pet some extra traction.

Regardless of what floor you choose, you can take several precautions to ensure your floors are long-lasting and spotless:

– Trim your pets’ claws on a regular basis to minimise the scratches on the floor surface

– Hoover regularly to remove the fur and paw-dirt and keep your floors clean

– Establish a grooming routine for your pet after every walk outside

– Keep your pet’s food area clean and regularly wash their dishes

Mayfield Floors have demonstrated throughout this challenging, prestigious project that having the ability to respond quickly with the right team and knowledge of the Porsche brand has been paramount to its success. We are looking forward to working on the next project."

John White - Director, Porsche Stockport

"This is the first project in which we have used Mayfield Floors as our flooring contractors, on what turned out to be a fast paced and often tricky site due to the number of trades all working simultaneously. Mayfield Floor's operatives worked out of hours when required to help hit our deadlines and the quality of the finished product is of a very high standard with particular attention paid to detail. This is down to the individual work of the floor layer Billy who was a joy to have on-site, the experience and pride in their work of the tilers and the excellent relationship we have with Daniel the contracts Manager at Mayfield Floors who from day one has been totally professional and committed throughout. We look forward to working with Mayfield again on our future projects."

Looking forward to working with the team again in the future."

Matt Hurley - Senior Project Manager, Bolton Essa Academy
