    Easy to maintain

    Keeping your house clean is just a bit more challenging with a pet, so choose a floor that is easy to clean. Go for colours and designs that are more forgiving to the eye when it comes to dust and hairs. It’s better to go for speckled designs than a crisp white floor for example.

Hybrid vinyl is probably the best choice in terms of performance for your pet-friendly floor, our floors are highly resistant to scratches and stains. What’s more, vinyl also has sound-absorbing qualities, which will reduce the noise of your pet walking around on the floor. But no worries, you don’t have to compromise on the beauty of your floor. Within our vinyl range you have a wide selection of lovely stone and wood designs.

A laminate floor:
authentic beauty, easy maintenance

Our laminate floors, like hybrid vinyl, are very resistant to stains and scratches. Moreover, our laminate floors (especially our Perspective Nature collection) have the most authentic laminate designs that come as close to real wood as possible. Although laminate is less sound-absorbing than hybrid vinyl, it’s a great choice if you want to combine authentic beauty with ease of maintenance.
