Carpets

Carpet is often seen as less ideal for pet owners due to potential issues with stains and odours. However, advancements in carpet technology have introduced pet-friendly options. Carpets made from synthetic fibres like nylon or polyester are stain-resistant and easier to clean. These often feature built-in stain protection and odour-neutralising properties, making them a practical choice for pet owners who prefer the comfort and warmth of carpeting.

Off-Cuts

Off-cut carpets can be a viable solution for those looking to save on costs while still providing a comfortable surface for pets. These waste-saving remnants, left over from larger carpet installations, are available at a discount from our carpet shop and can also be used in smaller rooms or as area rugs, which can be replaced regularly. They provide the benefits of carpet without the expense of wall-to-wall installation.

Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT)

One of our top recommendations for pet owners in Bath is luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT). These tiles have gained popularity due to their resilience and ease of maintenance. LVT not only mimics the look of natural materials but also offers superior durability and water resistance, essential for homes with pets prone to accidents. They are scratch-resistant, making them ideal for dogs or cats. Moreover, LVT is easy to maintain, ensuring pet hair and dander are easily managed.

Wood Flooring

Wood floors are timeless, but pet owners should consider specific types. Hardwood floors are prone to scratches from pet claws, so choosing more challenging wood species like oak or maple is advisable. Engineered wood floors are more stable and less susceptible to moisture, making them a better choice for pet owners. Engaging our professional wood floor fitting service will ensure the flooring is installed correctly, enhancing its longevity and performance.

Natural Flooring

Natural flooring options, such as cork and bamboo, offer pet-friendly features while being environmentally sustainable. Cork flooring is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial and provides a soft, cushioned surface that is gentle on pets’ joints. It is resistant to scratches and has noise-dampening properties. Bamboo flooring is another durable and eco-friendly choice. It is also resistant to pet claws and very easy to maintain.

Considerations for Pet Owners

When selecting flooring, Bath-based pet owners should prioritise materials that balance durability, comfort, and ease of cleaning. It’s essential to consider the specific needs of both your pets and household. For example, older pets may benefit from softer flooring options like cork or carpet, while more active pets might be better suited to durable, scratch-resistant surfaces like LVT or bamboo.
