Featuring the appearance of hardwood, cork makes an outstanding flooring option for pet owners. It is microbial flooring, meaning bacteria, mold and other harmful microorganisms are less likely to grow in it. You don’t need to worry about loud footsteps with cork flooring because it absorbs sound. It’s also cost-effective and scratch-resistant.
Known for its water and stain resistance, tile and stone flooring is one of the most pet-friendly flooring materials. It doesn’t require constant maintenance and withstands scratches from your pet’s nails. You can usually get high-quality tile and stone flooring at reasonable prices.
Another flooring material that home remodeling experts recommend to pet owners is luxury vinyl. It’s the improved version of vinyl flooring, and you can get this type of flooring in planks with click-lock assembly systems. Compared to standard vinyl sheets or tiles, it’s thicker, more durable and more scratch-resistant. This material comes in a wide range of styles and designs, from those resembling natural wood to others that mimic the look of ceramic flooring.
Possessing a similar appearance to hardwood, bamboo flooring is a natural material made from processed fibers from farmed bamboo. Did you know that most types of bamboo are harder than hardwood, giving it superior scratch resistance? Just make sure to choose a product with a high hardness rating.
