If you are building or remodeling, careful consideration should be taken for the needs of all members of your family, including your furry friends.
When it comes to flooring, some choices are better than others that will not only accommodate your dogs but will make cleaning and maintenance easy for you as well. When choosing flooring that is the best for dogs, our team at Summit Flooring Source recommends you consider the following:
- Will this flooring stand up well to moisture and scratches? Some flooring is more resilient than others without sacrificing style and beauty. Dogs tend to scratch some flooring choices better than others, making them wear better and last longer.
- Is the flooring easy to care for? Both younger and older dogs may be prone to accidents, so an easy care flooring choice is essential.
- Is it comfortable for me and my family? Your dog is one of many using the floor. With today’s choices, you do not have to give up comfort to accommodate your pet.
Summit Flooring Source is here to help you look over the options available for flooring friendly to your family and your pets today.
Luxury Vinyl Plank
Luxury vinyl plank is hands down one of the most popular choices for flooring in areas with dogs. It is resilient, waterproof, and inexpensive. It stands up against minor scratches, moisture, and stains. With its ease of cleaning and inexpensiveness, it’s no wonder why so many Summit Flooring Source customers recommend the luxury vinyl plank we have in stock. Speak with one of our experts to inquire about the variety of styles we carry that mimic hardwood, stone, or other natural surfaces. Luxury vinyl plank is durable but soft to walk on when compared to tile or hardwood. It can be used in any room of the house, works with radiant heating systems, and is cool for your dog to rest on.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is a great choice for a homeowner who wants the look of hardwood without the price tag. It is durable and scratch-resistant and also resists stains. Laminate is easy to clean and maintain and is warm and comfortable for everyone in the family. Summit Flooring Source offers water-resistant or noise-resistant laminate to increase its durability and comfort.
Carpet
Many of our customers at Summit Flooring Source are shocked to hear that carpet is a pet-friendly flooring. But if your pet is older, carpet could be very comfortable for them to walk on as well as easy on their joints. Our inventory contains many choices of carpets that are stain-resistant or water-repellent. Carpet gives any room the feeling of warmth and coziness and does not have to be given up just because of your dog.
