Big dogs tend to be more active, having the right kind of flooring can save you a lot of money in the long term. Thankfully with modern technology, there is now eco-resilient flooring – an affordable and resilient type of flooring that can last throughout a homeowner’s lifetime (and ease the pain pet owners feel when it comes to maintaining their living spaces). Here are 5 reasons why eco-resilient flooring is suitable for your big furry pets.

1. Waterproof

Some big dogs like the Mastiff tend to drool a lot. Instead of finding solutions to your pet’s drooling, consider eco-resilient flooring. Eco-resilient flooring is highly resistant to water and it is easier to clean compared to other types of flooring like marble and stone. You do not have to worry about your pet’s drool staining the ground.

Furthermore, when an accident happens, you do not have to spend hours trying to clean up your pet’s pee and or worry about the urine seeping into the layers of your floor. With eco-resilient flooring, cleaning and sanitizing will not leave any horrible-looking marks on the floor, thus indirectly helping pet owners maintain their property’s value.

2. Impact resistant

   Big dogs have a tendency to knock things down by accident not because they are big; rather, houses today are getting smaller and smaller. A cursory glance at the Property section in the newspaper reveals that the gross square area or foot (depending on which form of measurement is used!) per unit is 15 to 20 percent smaller than apartments build during the ‘80s and ‘90s. With flooring that is impact resistant, you will have less to worry about broken table lamps, drinking glasses, plates and more.

3. Slip resistant

   Like the elderly, senior dogs suffer from age-related diseases such as osteoarthritis, and other bone and joint problems.

Furthermore, research shows that big dogs with existing bone and joint problems may take a longer time to heal if they fall and or are too tense when walking. Having flooring that is slip resistant can help them walk more comfortably and at the same time, keep them agile and healthy.

4. Chemical-free

Eco-resilient flooring is free of chemicals that can cause your beloved pet to fall ill. This makes feeding easy as you can put food on a shallow tray

5. Dog-vision friendly design

   This is by far the most valid reason why big dog owners should consider getting eco-resilient flooring: a dog’s plane of vision – to be precise, “depth perception” – is different from that of the human eye. It is in their nature to hesitate to take a step further and or tread carefully on shiny surfaces as they fear they might slip and fall. The wood-like designs of eco-friendly flooring lets dogs walk confidently and with ease.

As your pet advances in age, its perception of depth, particularly on shiny surfaces, becomes distorted due to cataracts or loss of vision and this will affect your dog’s movements, says Veterinarian Shannon Budiselic.

So what kind of flooring is 100% waterproof?

The introduction of click resilient flooring in the early 2010s was first depicted as a strong substitute for traditional laminate flooring due to its waterproof nature. However, as flooring technology advances, home owners now have a better and wider range of click resilient flooring available in various patterns, sizes and designs. During that time, as there was not a particular category name for click resilient flooring, it was called ‘waterproof laminate flooring’ by local designers and contractors.

The Rise of Click Resilient Flooring

In a short span of time, manufacturers began to mass produce various specifications of click resilient flooring products. Because of that, the quality among laminate flooring products varies, sometimes to a very large extent. Various flooring distributors also started to offer their version of click resilient flooring under various trademarked names such as ‘high end’, ‘luxurious’ and so on, thereby staging a branding war between click resilient flooring distributors.

Eco Resilient Flooring Vs. Conventional Click Resilient Flooring

As the mass production of click resilient flooring products continues, the quality of the products become even wider. To ensure quality among the click resilient flooring products, a few manufacturers managed to increase their eco quality standards by implementing responsible flooring manufacturing processes. In other words, consumers are able to differentiate between a conventional click resilient flooring product and an eco resilient flooring product.

One way is to look for credible green certifications such as The Singapore Green Label and Floorscore that certify the flooring’s eco quality as well as optimal indoor air quality standards.
