When thinking about the flooring options for your home, it’s good to keep your pets in mind. Claws can easily scratch floors, accidents can cause odours, and shedding fur can make those beautiful floor spaces look a bit shabby. So
Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT)
Durable, hardwearing, and easy to clean, luxury vinyl flooring is the perfect choice for a pet-friendly home! It’s a versatile flooring option with loads of styles to choose from including some stunning stone and wood effect designs. LVT is scratch, stain, and water-resistant, so it can be easily wiped down if your furry friends have any accidents in the house. In addition, it is soft and quiet underfoot so it will reduce the noise made by over-excited pets.
