Pet-friendly flooring should stand up to everyday life without sacrificing style. From muddy paws and playful claws to the occasional spill or accident, the right floor makes all the difference.

Many options also come with built-in underlay, reducing noise from footsteps and paws while adding extra comfort underfoot for both you and your pets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flooring is best for homes with pets?

The best pet-friendly flooring is durable, easy to clean and resistant to scratches and moisture. Both laminate flooring (10mm and 12mm) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) are excellent choices for pet owners, offering strong wear layers that stand up to claws, spills and everyday activity.

Is laminate flooring suitable for pets?

Yes. Our 10mm and 12mm laminate flooring is designed to handle busy households with pets. The tough surface resists scratches and scuffs, while the thicker boards provide added stability and a solid feel underfoot, making them ideal for areas with frequent foot and paw traffic.

Is LVT a good option for pet-friendly flooring?

LVT is one of the most popular flooring choices for pet owners. It’s highly durable, water-resistant and easy to wipe clean, making it ideal for homes with dogs, cats and other pets. LVT also offers a softer, quieter feel compared to harder flooring types.

Will pet accidents or spills damage these floors?

LVT is waterproof and won’t warp when exposed to moisture, making it especially suitable for kitchens, hallways and living spaces. Laminate flooring offers strong resistance to everyday spills when cleaned promptly, helping protect your floor from damage.

Does built-in underlay make a difference for pets?

Yes. Flooring with built-in underlay helps reduce noise from footsteps and paws, making your home quieter and more comfortable. It also adds extra cushioning underfoot, which is beneficial for pets, especially older animals.

Which thickness of laminate is better for pets, 10mm or 12mm?

Both thicknesses are suitable, but 12mm laminate provides added durability, better impact resistance and a more solid feel. This makes it a great choice for high-traffic areas or larger pets, while 10mm laminate is ideal for standard living spaces.

Is pet-friendly flooring easy to clean and maintain?

Yes. Both laminate and LVT require minimal maintenance. Regular sweeping or vacuuming, along with occasional mopping, is all that’s needed to keep them looking their best. No sealing or specialist treatments are required.

Can I install pet-friendly flooring throughout my home?

Absolutely. Laminate and LVT can be used in most rooms, including living areas, bedrooms, kitchens and hallways. LVT is particularly well-suited to areas where moisture is more common.

Does pet-friendly flooring still look stylish?

Definitely. Our pet-friendly flooring range comes in a wide selection of colours, finishes and realistic wood and stone effects, so you don’t have to compromise on style to get a practical, long-lasting floor.
