Flooring For Pet-friendly Homes
Vinyl Flooring
• Pros:
• Scratch and stain-resistant, perfect for active pets.
• Water-resistant and easy to clean.
• Soft and comfortable for pets to walk or lie on.
• Cons:
• Can dent under heavy furniture or pet crates.
Laminate Flooring
• Pros:
• Scratch-resistant with a hard wear layer.
• Affordable and available in many styles.
• Cons:
• Not as water-resistant as vinyl or tile.
• Can be slippery unless you choose textured options.
South Africa’s diverse climate, vibrant design preferences, and practical living needs make laminate flooring an ideal choice for homeowners and renovators alike. Whether you live in Gauteng, the Western Cape, or KZN, laminate offers the right balance of style, affordability, and performance.
Laminate now mimics real wood and stone so convincingly that it’s nearly indistinguishable. Expect rich oak and hickory graining, marble-look planks, and distressed “reclaimed wood” finishes
