Why is luxury vinyl considered the most pet-friendly product?

Choosing flooring that stands up to pets is important when shopping. Our pets are part of the family, but they can be pretty rough on floors. When shopping for luxury vinyl flooring in a pet-friendly home, look for waterproof capabilities, durability, and easy cleanability.

Tough enough for pets

Luxury vinyl flooring is 100% waterproof and can be submerged or spilled on without consequence. So, whether it's toppled water dishes, splashes, or just a lot of drool, you won't need to worry.

Luxury vinyl is layered

Luxury vinyl is five times thicker than original vinyl flooring, and it's layered with a top, clear melamine coating (wear sheet). This protects the floor from scratches and scuffs and even helps with the waterproofing by keeping spills at the top just waiting to be wiped off.  

We all know animals can shed. But, they also spill food and track in dirt and moisture if yours is an outdoor pet. Sometimes they mistake a corner of the floor for the outdoors or will scratch to hide their waste in the litter box–only to have it fly on the floor.

Stylish enough for homeowners

Luxury vinyl flooring is a fashionable and affordable way to upgrade your home with gorgeous nature-inspired and true-to-life images of wood, stone, and tile. Micro beveling and embossing add depth and dimension. In addition, textured looks, such as wire-brushed, hand scraped, weathered, or distressed, are unique.

Two formats: plank and tile

As an added design option, the vinyl can be cut into planks to mimic hardwood or square, tile-sized pieces used with or without grout. Many tell us the extra seams add to the realism, while some use plank also for stone echoes because of the larger format and fewer seams.
