Things to consider when buying vinyl flooring

Our latest guide looks at what you should consider when buying vinyl flooring for your business.

As pet owners, when it comes to the flooring in our homes, we only want the best for our four-legged friends. But when you also run a business that welcomes dogs, how do you choose the flooring for your premises and what do you need to take into account?

Non slip flooring for dogs

Whether your customers and clientele have two or four legs, anti slip flooring is essential. Old dogs and puppies alike need to feel secure on the flooring beneath their paws – young pups may be shaky or unsteady, while older dogs may be suffering from canine arthritis. And of course, there are breeds that are more naturally disposed to conditions such as hip dysplasia.

Dog pee proof flooring

Accidents are an occupational hazard for vets, canine café owners, dog groomers, and dog day care centre owners. Unless you are in a position to change your flooring on a regular basis, you need a waterproof flooring option. Compared to carpet that will soak up the pee like a sponge, wooden floors that will stain and warp, laminate floors that will buckle and ceramic tiles that will turn into an ice rink, vinyl flooring when professionally installed is virtually impenetrable and completely waterproof.

Low maintenance flooring

Low maintenance flooring is essential if your staff are not going to spend the majority of their day cleaning it! This is particularly important for high traffic areas such as reception areas and treatment rooms. A vinyl flooring solution that requires little more than regular sweeping or vacuuming is important.

Durable flooring

Floors that are exposed on a regular basis to sharp claws must be able to withstand the wear and tear and come out looking good after being Pawed at all day long!

Good looking flooring

When you are running a business, you want your premises to feel warm and welcoming to visitors and your choice of flooring plays a big part in this. When your flooring looks fantastic, your customers will notice and this can only reflect on the reputation of your business.
