How to choose the perfect floor for you and your pet
What to look out for in a pet-friendly floor
Pets bring life to your home, and we love that! But are you wondering what floor is the best choice for both you and your pet? You probably want an easy to maintain floor that can withstand your dog’s muddy paws and cat’s scratch-marks. Find out what to look out for when buying a pet-friendly floor and some tips to keep your floor looking great over time.
A pet-friendly floor should be...
-
Scratch-resistant
-
Stain-resistant
-
Easy to maintain
A vinyl floor:
withstands almost anything
Vinyl is probably the best choice in terms of performance for your pet-friendly floor, our Alpha Vinyl floors are highly resistant to scratches and stains. What’s more, vinyl also has sound-absorbing qualities, which will reduce the noise of your pet walking around on the floor. But no worries, you don’t have to compromise on the beauty of your floor. Within our vinyl range you have a wide selection of lovely stone and wood designs.
A laminate floor:
authentic beauty, easy maintenance
Our laminate floors, like vinyl, are very resistant to stains and scratches. Moreover, our laminate floors (especially our Capture collection) have the most authentic laminate designs that come as close to real wood as possible. Although laminate is less sound-absorbing than vinyl, it’s a great choice if you want to combine authentic beauty with ease of maintenance.
A wooden floor:
protected thanks to Wood for Life
You might be surprised to know that even our wooden floors are suitable for pets. The Wood for Life technology makes our wooden floors much more resistant to stains than its competitors. This innovative protective layer prevents dirt from getting into the wood and helps to preserve its as-new look for years. Besides, a wood floor offers the most authentic look of course as you’re bringing real wood into your home.
5 extra tips to keep your pet-friendly floor in tip-top condition
- Create an entrance area at your front door with a doormat and maybe a cloth at the ready, so you can easily clean off your pet’s paws after that walk in the rain before they storm in the house.
- Only use Quick-Step’s cleaning products to safeguard your floor’s guarantee!
- Accidents can happen, is there a deep scratch in your floor despite everything? No worries, the Quick-Step repair kit can fix it in most cases!
- Get a pad for underneath your pet’s water and food bowls, since this is an area where they spill on the floor regularly. Even if it’s cleaned off the floor easily, prevention is always better than cure.
- When cleaning up the cute paw prints on your floor, make sure your mop is damp – never soaking wet!
