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.

There are two main types of resilient flooring  – Click Resilient Flooring and Eco Resilient Flooring. Let’s have a look at their benefits.

1) Click Resilient Flooring

Here are seven features of click resilient flooring that makes it a great flooring option:

–  A healthy thickness of between 4mm to 6mm and a wear layer between 0.3mm to 0.6mm.

– 100% waterproof and termite proof

– Innovative patented click system technology originating from Europe, such as Valinge or Unilin.

– Non-slip properties and high impact resistance.

– An advanced coating technology that enhances the flooring’s UV resistance as well as scratch resistance.

– Certified better air quality based on inspection tests, such as Floor Score and E1 rating on formaldehyde emission.

2) Eco Resilient Flooring

Eco resilient flooring has the above seven qualities of clickable resilient flooring… and one additional bonus!

1) Eco Friendly Certification

Most consumers do not realise that to be certified as an eco-friendly flooring, the flooring needs to be tested for more than just having healthy air quality. Other important factors analysed that go towards an eco-friendly certification include the safety of the materials used in the manufacturing process and the recyclable properties of the flooring. One credible certification is the Singapore Green Label. Some conventional resilient flooring may be marketed as an eco friendly product without having a credible and authorised certification. Hence, it is important for consumers to check with vendors before purchasing resilient flooring.

Eco Resilient Flooring

If you are looking to give your living space a dignified look without having to splurge on flooring, eco resilient flooring is a wonderful option. An affordable, long-lasting and popular option for environmentally savvy and design conscious homeowners, eco resilient flooring comes in many grades and colours for every homeowner’s needs and desires. Here are some design ideas how you can switch up your living space with eco resilient flooring.

#1. The minimalist look

Clean, clutter-free, seemingly spacious and neat, it is hard to go wrong with the minimalist look. Combining functionality and practicality with simplicity, the minimalist look is essentially the art of being able to live comfortably and aesthetically live with less.

#2. The industrial chic look

Industrial chic is an interior design style that marries aged, utilitarian design with worn textures of iron and wood to create a style that is rugged yet stunningly attractive. Start with a neutral colour palette (i.e. grey and white), and add in some warmth (i.e. browns, teak, mahogany) to your living space. The overall colour palette and look will reflect the colours and elements found in an industrial space.

#3. The rustic European look

There is something undeniably charming and irresistible about the rustic look of old 18^th Century European homes. The cosy yet vintage-looking living room. The picturesque kitchen. The peaceful garden. For those who love their living spaces to exude both a sense of warmth and traditional homeliness, what could be more charming than the rustic European look?

#4. The elegant look

For the sophisticated and well-heeled urbanite who prides work, reading and wining as his or her pastimes, the elegant look is ideal. Not only does it reflect one’s classy taste, but also exudes a sense of elegance that is popular among the affluent community. From adding a fresh coat of paint to your walls and soft velvety pillows to crown moulding and teak coloured floors, these are some of the many ways you can beautify and add value to your living space. The Floor Gallery has an extensive range of eco resilient flooring in different shades of beige, brown and red, textures and thickness for all homeowners to choose from, there is something for everyone.

#5. The Modern Victorian look

Owning a Victorian-style home is a dream come true for most homeowners. Resplendent and elegant, it is the ideal home style and can potentially add value to your home. But owning a Victorian-style home comes with a hefty price tag only the well-heeled can afford. Unless you can afford to remodel your home, how about owning a modern Victorian-style home?

Like the classic Victorian-style, the modern Victorian-style is chock-full of character and do not require extensive remodelling to bring the nostalgic appeal of the bygone Victorian era into your living space. Creating a modern Victorian home can be achieved by carefully mixing both modern and Victorian styles together. Planning is needed to ensure that the final look and colour palette of your personal living space is well thought out, not simply mashed together. To make your living space look brighter and bigger, opt for a light colour palette (i.e. white, yellow, baby blue, lilac or pink) for your walls and furniture. Flooring-wise, we recommend you opt for a dark woody theme from our list of eco resilient flooring to add contrast to the subtle and light colours of your wall and furniture.

The most important property a good flooring should have, is to be waterproof. Water and liquids are used often at home – in the kitchen, watering the plants, dinner time, and even just sitting down for a cup of coffee. If the flooring is not waterproof, water spills by kids or pets, will cause the floor to be damage overtime. A good waterproof flooring will not result in water seeping into the under layers of the floor and causing it to swell and bulge over time. It can also be used in the kitchen and the drier parts of the bathroom.

Being water resistant brings further advantages. The floor can be easily cleaned. Spills and wet floors can be mopped clean effortlessly. This means that the floor is easy to maintain too. This will not only keep the quality and appearance of the floor at its best, it also means that the floor is cost efficient in the long run too.
