Flooring Tucson – When it comes to decorating the interior of our homes, most of us focus on us. We pick out the flooring, furniture, and countertops we like. We often forget there’s another member of the family who needs to be taken into consideration. Your pet. Dogs especially struggle with certain types of flooring.
When it comes to choosing the type of flooring you want to use, it’s extremely important to think about your pet. They have to walk on the floor and unlike you, they can’t change into a different pair of socks or shoes. If the floor is slippery, they have to come up with another way to cope. For their own safety, you need to make sure the new flooring you choose won’t be so slick they’re going to fall, possibly hurting themselves.
Another thing you need to keep in mind will be their nails. Certain types of carpet can be hard on pets. You want to make sure the fibers aren’t so long they’re getting caught in the fibers. If you want to use tile, hardwood, or laminate flooring you should make sure your choice is durable and that you’re dog walking across it won’t leave deep scratches. Keeping your pet’s nails clipped will extend the life of all types of flooring. If you choose hardwood flooring, make sure it’s sealed and has had a protective varnish added to it.
Your pet might not care how hard your new flooring is to clean, but you will. If you have a pet that’s not yet completely housebroken, you need to keep them off your carpet. You can use baby gates to protect your carpet until your dog has gotten more reliable. You will also want to look for carpet that’s the least likely to absorb pet hairs. Once dog hairs get embedded into the carpet fibers, the vacuum won’t be able to get them out.
Most pet experts agree, when it comes to pets, the best type of flooring is vinyl tiles, mostly because it’s the easiest to clean up. Sweeping up pet hair and the mud they track in can be accomplished in a few minutes. Unlike the past, when vinyl meant boring, you have lost of design and color options. You have a limitless choice and will find something that’s perfect for both you and your pet. The one thing you will want to keep in mind is texture. Your dog will have a much easier time walking across tiles with a slightly rougher texture than they will walking on smooth tile flooring.
Adding some area rugs is one the least expensive ways to reduce the amount of wear and tear your pet puts on your flooring.
we takes a great deal of pride in their wide selection of flooring Tuscan options. Both you and your pet will love some of the options.
