Flooring for Pet Friendly Places

Some of us might wonder what type of flooring do they use in pet shops, restaurants or indoor public pet area to withstand the walk in of retail traffic as well as having pets roaming freely in the area. Such places need to be maintained clean and hygienic for the well being of the employees, customers and the pets in there. Below are 5 important features of a pet friendly flooring you should look into when you are getting one.

1)  100% waterproof

Our furry friends tend to be mischievous at times by pushing your glass of water straight to the floor or doing their “business” anywhere except the washroom. Hence, flooring that is waterproof is able to withstand all the heavy mopping everyday and it does not absorb water into it. This makes it easier to clean and wash your flooring during those times.

2)  Eco Friendly

Quality flooring products uses zero glue installation thus there will be no emission of harmful particles and the air quality will be better for you and your pets. This will be good for pets as they spend most of their time on the floor. Of course, regular cleaning and maintenance of the premises are needed.

3)  High Impact Resistant

Animals love to run around, especially dogs and cats as they tend to climb and jump around your premises. Thus the impact resistant property of the flooring gives extra cushion support to your pets so as to minimize the possibility of injury in the event of accident. High impact resistant flooring is also able to accommodate high human traffic volume and it can last relatively longer than conventional flooring.

4)  High Slip Resistant

Quality flooring has a slip resistance property so as to ensure the safety of your pets and you. Slip resistance flooring helps to minimize the chances of your pets falling down while running while playing.

5)  Scratch Resistant

Pet friendly flooring has good scratch resistant properties to minimize the risk of your pets scratching the floor. One thing we have to take into consideration is that no flooring in the world is 100 percent scratch proof, they are only scratch resistant. Hence, heavy dragging of furniture and stuff may still cause scratches on the flooring. However, for our flurry friends to roam around on the flooring, good scratch resistant flooring will be good enough.
