Benefits of luxury vinyl flooring for pet-friendly homes

Pets and luxury vinyl flooring are a ?harmonious? pair, and that is good news for pet owners. Vinyl planks that look like hardwood and vinyl tiles that look like stone and ceramic are resistant to stains. Therefore, they afford no-fuss clean-up when accidents occur. The paw-proof floors are hard to scratch, and spilled water bowls won?t cause damage. You can find vinyl flooring and much more at Floorz? showroom in Fort Myers, Florida. Our personalized service includes a complimentary consultation and a free flooring estimate.

Luxury vinyl basics

Vinyl is a smooth flooring option that provides pets with a good grip. Luxury vinyl flooring is composed of four layers: backing, core, image, and wear. The wear layer protects the high tech image that mimics natural materials. Consequently, this clear layer on the top of the plank determines durability. A 20 mil or greater thickness is best. The luxury vinyl plank (LVP) installation system needs no attachment to the subfloor. The click-lock system allows planks to be connected to form a floor that floats over the subfloor. Tiles are click-lock, glue down, or loose lay, meaning they grip the subfloor.

Pet-proof brands

The toughest luxury vinyl brands are designed for pet owners. These brands resist typical pet stains and damage, and they are easy to clean and sanitize with vinyl cleaners. Mohawk SolidTech Plus is an example. The brand is 100 percent waterproof and backed by a no-gap guarantee. Because of the way the core is constructed, there are never any gaps due to temperature changes or moisture. This means that spills or pet accidents can't penetrate the inner layers of the flooring and cause damage.? Best of all, the Mohawk All Pet Protection & Warranty covers ?all pets, all accidents, all the time? plus scratch protection.
