Our pets are must more than furry or hairy little companions that occupy our homes, they are family members that provide comfort, happiness and support. However, they are also in need of constant attention. Not just for loves and cuddles, but also in tidying up behind them.
From pet hair getting tangled into carpets to muddy pawprints trampling all over your hardwood, your four-legged friends are also maintenance fiends that provide countless hours in cleaning out dirt, hair and those little accidents they leave on your floor.
At Galloway Flooring Manchester, we love our pets and always have a solution to recommend - Luxury vinyl flooring. The reasons why this is your second best friend come in many forms.
Scratch-Proof
Galloway Flooring LVT are manufactured brands with an incredibly durable and embossed design layer. That layer, no matter if it is replicating the look of hardwood or stone, has the highest scratchguard technology fitted to it.
Ideally this is designed as such to stop scratches from furniture moving across the floor. However, the bigger benefit is that it protects your flooring against claw marks and scratches from pets. That eliminates expenditure you would typically spent on varnishes and scratch removal chemicals throughout the year.
Hair Today, None Tomorrow
One of the biggest beefs people have with comfy and warm carpets is not finding it easy to pull animal hair from it effectively. Carpets are known for changing colour due to a mixture of animal pawprints and loose hair, leading to tatty looking carpet that is expensive to clean.
With vinyl flooring tiles and planks, hair and dirt can cover the surface, but both are effortlessly removed with nothing more than a swift sweep with a non-brittle brush and a regular once over with a mop and warm soapy water. Do not use any polishes on this flooring though, as it will affect the slip resistance of the top layer - which could cause your rampant pets to crash into furniture and hurt themsleves.
Comfortable and Warm
Comfort is something that you crave, but it is also something that your pets will really appreciate. If you are the type of pet owner who will not let them occupy a space on the couch, your dog or cat will love the softness that vinyl provides underfoot.
Vinyl flooring is also the top choice for layering over underfloor heating systems, meaning that your pets can sleep comfortably without getting too hot. Vinyl is designed to be incredibly heat-resistant and a natural insulator for warmth. It is something your pet will love you even more for.
Little Accidents
Of course, we have to address the biggest risk pets pose to your flooring; those little accidents that happen whilst you are going through toilet training. Unfortunately, it is something that happens and something that poses significant damage to flooring such as hardwood, carpet and laminate.
When your pet has to go, your pet has to go! However, vinyl flooring manufacturers must have been pet owners too, because they knew that this type of flooring had to be easy to clean up after pets - and be 100% waterproof. No one wants flooring that quickly starts to smell stale and unpleasant after cleaning up some wee, so you are more than safe when it comes to LVT. No such accidents will seep through your planks or tiles and reach the subfloor, which is a huge relief against a huge relief.
