If you are thinking of installing new flooring and you are a pet owner, here are a few things to consider before purchasing your new flooring.
The first consideration is that if you want area rugs in your home, you may want to consider not purchasing a rug that is made out of a natural material. Instead, you may want to consider purchasing an indoor/outdoor rug that is odor-proof, stainproof, and easy to clean.
The second consideration is to think about purchasing ceramic or porcelain tile. These tiles are nonporous, which means they will not easily absorb smells. Just keep your grout width to a minimum because grout is more porous. They are also made out of tough material, that is scratch-resistant and easy to clean.
The last consideration is that if you really want hardwood floors, you may want to consider purchasing a factory-finished floor, which will prevent wear and tear. These types of floors are more porous though, so you will need to quickly clean up any spills or messes.
These are just a few things to consider when deciding which flooring will be best for your family and for your pet.
