siberian_wolf Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 As most of you know my lovely boys had destroyed the kitchen lino a while ago (Before I joined). If things keep going as they are, we are hoping to be able to put some new flooring down. We have just replaced the living room carpet as they kept catching their claws in the old caprt so have put some new carpet down there so they can't catch their claws. My problem is the kitchen floor. I don't know if I should get normal lino or should I go upmarket and get proper wooden flooring down? I think lino as then, if they do chew it up again it's not so much money gone to waste and hopefully I would be able to get the garden re-fenced Or I think if I get proper wooden flooring then it would be more hard-wearing and they wouldn't be able to chew it up as easy and it may make the room warmer. What do you guys think? Lino or Wooden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistyrayn Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 WOODEN !!!!! i hate lino... have wooden floors myself and def warmer than lino and harder wearing.. be a long time before needing to replace.. only prob is dogs do tend to slide little bit on wood. we have put rugs down aswell with anti slip tape on...

Sarah Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I really wouldn't go for anything other than laminate, it will last, unlike carpet it doesn't wear and tear. They won't be able to chew it and so easy to clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Laminate or wooden flooring. If your not after spending a fortune on getting it done and want it to look good then look at the aqualock in B&Q ... I can personally say its good stuff, and as the name suggests, its water resistant which is always a good thing with things like waterbowls, occassional accidents and on top of everything else the amount that things need mopping with huskies being outside and getting muddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Another wooden floor fan here. We've got it in the kitchen,dining room, living room and hallway. The dogs do get used to it although at first they were like Scooby-Doo escaping from the mad, scary monster, but thankfully no injuries and as already said very robust...

laura_3173 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 We have tiled flooring and it was the best decision ever! We live in a bungalow and we have carpet down the hall going towards the bedrooms. Lex isn't allowed down there any more as last time he started picking at the carpet trying to rip it up! So I would definitely advise wood or tile flooring and it is so much easier to clean after they have jumped in a pond and come flying in and made everything wet and muddy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
