Vinyl – the pet-friendly floor covering

Choosing the right flooring is extremely important for both two-legged and four-legged friends. Properties such as slip resistance, low maintenance and water resistance are really important for your everyday life with animals. Vinyl is generally robust and also impact-resistant, too. Textured floors are particularly advantageous, as they give the animals a good grip even when wet. If you want to be on the safe side, choose vinyl floors with an R10 slip resistance class.

Since dogs and cats bring in dirt and moisture, a water-repellent floor that is easy to clean is clearly an advantage. It means less housework for you and more time to spend with your four-legged friends. Dirt and wetness are no problem for waterproof solid vinyl. It can simply be wet-wiped and you’re done!

Vinyl flooring – non-slip, easy on the joints and warm underfoot

Robust and durable vinyl flooring stands up well to the everyday stresses and strains of living with pets. It offers a warm surface for romping and playing that cushions footsteps and noises. Everyone enjoys the pleasant walking feel. The resilient structure and warming properties of vinyl flooring are particularly beneficial for older pets. The sound-absorbing properties contribute towards a quieter environment, which also benefits the neighbours!

Vinyl flooring is also safe. Various testing institutes set tight emission limits for vinyl flooring. This means that you and your pet benefit from a healthy atmosphere as well as a beautiful, warm floor. Its dirt-repellent and antibacterial properties are even more reason to choose this hygienic floor covering.

Our versatile vinyl flooring is available in different use classes. The higher the wear layer, the higher the use class.

Which wear layer to choose for vinyl floors for dogs and cats?

First things first: not all vinyl floors are equally suitable for use in households with animals. The character traits and habits of your furry friend are the most important considerations when choosing the correct vinyl floor. For calm, smaller and older animals, vinyl floors with usage classes for private living areas are perfectly adequate.

For large, heavy and agile pets that need a lot of exercise, we recommend vinyl floors with an extra thick wear layer. With a wear layer of 0.5 mm or more or a use class of at least NK 32, these floors are also suitable for commercial use.

Pet-friendly floor coverings from planeo

Depending on their temperament, pets can put different amounts of strain on floors. An animal with an active temperament can leave lots of marks on the floor with its claws, particularly in the form of dirt and scratches. We recommend that you use light-coloured adhesive or click vinyl floors. Please note that even high wear layers and use classes are not guaranteed against every single scratch: there is simply no flooring that can withstand certain extremes of wear and tear and remain as new.

Fortunately, you have an enormous range to choose from, including some of the toughest floors available, and all at surprisingly reasonable prices. At planeo you will find the perfect vinyl floor for you and your pet. With so many different colours and designs, you will find a floor which both you and your pets love!

The 7 most frequently asked questions about Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring is a very robust and particularly easy-to-clean floor covering. The plastic content makes the tiles elastic, waterproof and warm underfoot, making it a pleasant alternative to tiles. With either the clicking or gluing installation techniques, vinyl flooring is great for almost all applications. It’s also one of the most renovation-friendly floor coverings because of its low installation height, starting at 2mm. More information about vinyl flooring.

Design flooring originally described a multi-layer adhesive vinyl flooring. Today the term is used to mean any type of flooring that features a design such as wood, stone or an abstract pattern, and made from any mix of materials and construction methods.

First you need to choose between clicking and gluing. Most people today install vinyl by clicking. The click connection locks each individual plank to the next. Because there is no adhesion to the subfloor, it is also called floating installation. Here you will find everything you need to know about installing vinyl click flooring. Adhesive vinyl flooring is being used more and more in private homes. In this case, vinyl flooring is glued to a levelled subfloor using a special vinyl adhesive. Adhesive vinyl can also be glued dry. Here we explain the 4 different gluing techniques.

These are some super-common mistakes made when installing a vinyl floor

  • Not following installation instructions
  • Not checking the subfloor properly
  • Not acclimatising the material
  • Using the wrong footfall sound insulation or underlay
  • Installation errors in the first rows
  • Forgetting or incorrectly setting expansion joints

To be sure, take a look at the installation instructions for your vinyl floor. Just because an impact sound insulation says "for vinyl flooring" on it, doesn't make it the appropriate underlay for your floor. If you try to reuse your old insulation from laminate, you risk damaging the floor. Read more about the right impact sound insulation for vinyl here.

Yes, as far as the vinyl content of the floor is concerned. This means that a solid vinyl floor for clicking and also gluing is absolutely waterproof. If a material such as a moisture-sensitive HDF core is added, the vinyl floor is no longer waterproof. You should be aware of this when choosing vinyl flooring for damp rooms such as the bathroom. You can find waterproof vinyl flooring here.

One of the main reasons vinyl flooring is so popular is how easy it is to maintain. Vacuuming and damp mopping is usually enough to clean it. Heavier stains can be removed with PU cleaner. Despite the tough outer layer, dust, dirt and small stones can scratch the vinyl in the long run, so we recommend a full care product, to forms a protective film. This makes vinyl care easier and protects your floor from small scratches.
