DOG LOVER'S GUIDE TO BUYING FLOORS

We receive a whole lot of queries from clients inquiring which flooring are best when they've dogs. Here are a couple pointers to help select wood flooring which will be good for both the homeowner and their puppies.

1) START WITH A HARDWOOD FLOORING

Begin with Taking a Look at a Janka Hardness Scale. This steps a wood's resistance to dent and dents related wear. The greater the Janka score, the more resilient the timber is to scratches. Oak is the norm by which hardwood flooring are quantified and anything more challenging than this is a bonus.

2 ) TEXTURED SURFACES ASSIST

As a result of revolution at the hardwood flooring industry textured surfaces come in many different unique styles. A textured surface could be wire-brushed, hand scraped, or use other painful practices. Wirebrushing eliminates some of those softer forests in the grain and also highlights the pure beauty and profound grain feel. Any scrape will blend in with all the ground and assist the floor to keep its normal appearance and feel.

3) COLOR VARIATION ACTS AS A NATURAL CAMOUFLAGE

While lighter colours help conceal any shedding of pet fur. A flooring with some colour variation will even help hide any imperfections located from the end from wear and tear by drawing attention away from scratches and scratches.

4) PAY ATTENTION TO THE REFLECTION

CRACKS IN A MIRROR ARE MUCH MORE NOTICEABLE THAN FRACTURES ON A STONE. WHILE THIS IS AN EXTREME EXAMPLE, THIS EXACT SAME CONCEPT CAN BE APPLIED TO HARDWOOD FLOORING FINISHES. A MATTE FINISH WILL REVEAL THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF LIGHTING WHICH HELPS THE FLOORING LOOK CLEANER MORE. ADDITIONALLY, IT HELPS TO HIDE ANY IMPERFECTIONS AND KEEP YOUR FLOORING USING A NEW LOOK IN COMPARISON WITH THE MORE SHINY FINISHES. A MATTE FINISH LOOKS MORE NATURAL AND GENUINE, BECAUSE WOOD IS NOT A NATURAL SHINY SUBSTANCE.

5) CHOOSE AN OIL AND WAXED FLOOR

AN OILED AND WAXED FLOOR IS MUCH MORE NATURAL BECAUSE THE OIL PENETRATES INTO THE WOOD AND BECOME A PORTION OF THE FLOOR. DUST, DIRT AND SMALL SCRATCHES ARE MORE CONCEALED. OILED FLOORS HAVE A NATURAL SENSE AND GIVES YOUR PETS MORE GRIP. THE OTHER BIG ADVANTAGE IT IS A LOT EASIER TO REPAIR THAN OTHER FLOORING. IT MAY BE CARRIED OUT BY ANY JOE SCHMOE SIMPLY USING A FABRIC AND A FEW FLOOR OIL.

NO WOOD FLOOR IS BULLETPROOF IN REGARDS TO SCRATCHES, WEAR OR SCRATCHES BUT AFTER THESE 5 TIPS CAN HELP KEEP YOUR FLOORING LOOKING AND FEELING LIKE NEW. WOOF WOOF!
