Best Flooring For Basement
October 23, 2015

As we all know, pets and floors don’t always get along with each other. Let’s face the truth, even the best trained pets have their messy moments and that’s why it’s important to invest in flooring that can stand up to them for the long haul.

We have a great news, no need to make a choice between your floors and your pets now. We have some flooring options that can help you bring harmony to your pet-friendly household.

1. Laminate Flooringa dog sitting on the floor of a modern styled room

We all know that hardwood flooring is not the best choice when it comes to pet-friendly floors. If you like hardwood for the look it offers, remember that Ottawa laminate flooring can easily look almost the same as hardwood. Moreover, laminate is an excellent choice if you have a pet who has to run and play in your home. And, because of the floor’s top wear layer and construction, laminate is typically more scratch, dent, and stain resistant than traditional or engineered hardwood, making it an ideal choice for pets.

Even more interesting, laminate floors easy to take care of. The only thing you have do do is to vacuum up pesky pet fir and mop up messes with a recommended laminate floor cleaner.

2. Area Rugs

Nothing underscores a beautiful decor like a complementary area rug. Most rooms benefit greatly from the addition of an area rug. Besides providing comfort underfoot, they help protect your floors against the damage caused by your pets.

For those not willing or ready to replace their current flooring for a more pet-friendly option, consider laying down rugs of organic fibres, such as sea grass, sisal, or mountain grass. These options look natural on hardwood and you just have to give them a shake to rid them of sediment, dirt and annoying pet fur.

3. Tiles

Ceramic tiles has been used for centuries and offers consumers more options in colour, texture, pattern and overall beauty than most other floor covering materials. Tiles deliver a maintenance-free solution that typically outlasts all other types of flooring.

Tiles with textured surfaces are ideal for rooms that see a lot of moisture as they are both water and slip resistant. This also make it difficult for your pets to damage your floors.

Are you Crazy for Considering Carpet?

You might think that carpet and pets are a bad idea. But nowadays, carpet technology is better than ever. Advanced fibers and stain resistant technologies will allow you to choose a carpet that will look great in your home for many years, even if pets are members of your clan.

Carpet is the perfect choice for high-traffic and active areas as they are easy to clean and maintain. A good quality vacuum cleaner and an occasional professional cleaning is the best combination to keep your carpets intact for years to come. Just make sure to resist the temptation of light carpeting, unless you’re fine with mucky paw prints and pet fur always in your line of vision.
