3 flooring options for pets and heavy traffic

With correct installation, regular maintenance, and care your new floors will look fresh and beautiful for years.
Seattle is home to more dogs than children!  However, we still have a lot of kids, too, which makes sense as to why many of our customers ask us about flooring materials that can stand the test of playful furry ones and active kiddos.  If your flooring concerns are a little extra because of who lives in your house, here are three options options to consider and discuss during your in-home consultation.

See Our Luxury Vinyl Brands

  • High-quality vinyl flooring by design resists scratches, stains, and dents, and common pet issues.
  • Pet accidents, spills, and water bowls are common occurrences, and vinyl can handle them without warping or damage. 
  • Low Maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping are sufficient to keep vinyl floors looking their best.
  • The smooth, non-porous surface also makes it less likely for dirt and pet hair to become embedded in the flooring.
  • Vinyl planks installed by a professional flooring installer can guarantee a gapless installation.
  • Vinyl flooring comes in a wide range of styles, colors, and patterns, allowing you to choose a design that complements your decor and suits your personal preferences. Our flooring consultants have a wide range of vinyl brands and help you choose the right style.
  • Gaia Floors is one of the most popular brands we install

See Our Tile and Natural Stone Brands

Tile flooring offers a versatile range of aesthetics, allowing homeowners to achieve various looks and styles in their spaces. Tile is a good, resilient flooring choice.

  • Tile is known for its exceptional durability. It can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas in both residential and commercial spaces. It is highly resistant to wear and can maintain its appearance for many years.
  • Pets, kids, and adults have accidents and spills. Fortunately, the tile is resilient to staining and easily cleaned. 
  • A professional installer will know how to seal your tile floor properly, which is needed to repel liquids and prevent stains from penetrating the surface.
  • Some of our favorite tile products come from Surface Art.
OPTION THREE
Engineered wood flooring in stylish bedroom with exposed brick walls and modern decor.

Option3

Hardwood

See our hardwood brands

A combination of proactive measures and regular maintenance helps prevent damage from pets and heavy traffic.

  • Choose a hardwood species like oak, maple or hickory that is more resistant to dents and scratches, 
  • Talk to us about engineered wood flooring. It is more stable than solid wood. 
  • Opt for a durable, high-quality finish that protects against scratches and stains. 
  • Regularly maintaining the finish through cleaning and resealing can prolong the floor’s life.
  • Lay down pet-friendly area rugs, keep pet claws trimmed,  clean up spills ASAP, go shoeless. 
  • Use an experienced hardwood installer.
  • Mirage is one of our premier hardwood brands. Our Mirage Treehouse Project!
