Pet-Friendly Flooring Options for Busy Homes
Are you looking for pet-friendly flooring for a busy home? Claws, scratches, and stains on flooring are common scenarios homeowners face when they have dogs, cats, and other pets.
At Riverbend Interiors Floors & Tile, we help homeowners as you decide on the right one for your home.
Choosing Flooring That Lasts
High-traffic zones, like entryways, get the most pet traffic – bringing in mud, water, and messes that can be hard to clean without the proper flooring. Even a few dogs and a cat can take a toll on your floors without protection that matches your busy lifestyle.
Traction and softness are two must-haves for pet owners. A zoomy cat and excited dogs who are eating and play-fighting will lead to scratches and marks that may be hard to get rid of without the proper carpet, tile, or vinyl flooring to protect and comfort with every step, jump, or spill.
Flooring Options for Your Pet Household
Choosing a lasting quality floor will not only save you time dealing with stains and scratch marks but also provide lasting quality and timeless design for years.
Luxury Vinyl Plank blends style and functionality and mimics hardwood flooring or tile. Durable, water-resistant, cost-effective, and easy to install. Low maintenance and easy to clean.
Laminate flooring is a beautiful yet budget-friendly option, perfect for households with bustling families and pets on the go.
Lino (sheet vinyl) is a great choice for high-traffic, pet-heavy areas like entryways, kitchens, laundry rooms, and walk-out basements. Waterproof vinyl is an ideal choice for homes with multiple pets and can handle the abundance of “messy zones”.
Ceramic tile is your best tile option for the hustle and bustle of a pet family. Used in high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms, ceramic tile is also low-maintenance, cost-effective, and resistant to moisture, rot, fading, and odour, a perfect combination for pets and their humans.
Modern carpets are a perfect fit for kids and pets because they have stain-resistant fibres that are durable and easy to clean when spills or messy paws come into play. Carpets are not only warm and comfortable, with better cushioning for cuddle sessions with your pets; they reduce noise and have good traction for active pets that go all day and then finally rest in their cozy retreat in their favourite spot. Riverbend Interiors Floors & Tile can also make a custom area rug from your selected carpet choice.
A busy home doesn’t have time to ponder if its spills will come out of the carpet, and they don’t have time to worry about scratches and claw marks on the hardwood.
Pet owners want mess-proof flooring that is easy to clean when clean-ups are inevitable. Riverbend Interiors Floors & Tile’s engineered hardwood flooring mimics real wood and resists moisture and temperature changes – perfect for basements where you sit, play, and eat.
