Carpet is cozy but pet stains are hard to clean. Natural wood is beautiful but little toenails can scratch the surface. If you have pets in your home, flooring issues can be a challenge. We all want stylish decor but dogs and cats can limit our options. If you want to spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your animals, consider laminate flooring. Laminate flooring is a man-made flooring product that laminates layers of composed materials with an attractive photographic applique. Design mimic natural floors such as wood or tile. Very durable, laminate flooring is manufactured under such recognizable names as Pergo, Armstrong, Mannington and Quickstep. It is easy to clean, and offers styles that go with virtually any decor – from traditional to rustic. Most laminate flooring is glueless and is snap-to-fit planks for easy installation. Other great features:
– Laminate floors do not need wax or polish.
– Laminate planks can be repaired with touch up kits that can be purchased through the manufacturer.
– A thin pad under the laminate planks reduces the sound level.
– Laminate is highly resistant to sunlight.
– Laminate flooring is a great “do-it-yourself” flooring option.
Now you can love your floors and love your pets – with the functional, practical beauty of laminate!
