Vinyl vs Concrete Interview
No Comments
While concrete is not toxic, the use of concrete floors in certain environments can allow pathogen contamination such as bacteria, mold and viruses.
Pet Friendly Commercial Spaces
Running a pet-friendly retail business or a business specializing in pet health or care, such as a veterinarian clinic or animal boarding facility can bring added dimensions to your flooring choice. Toenails, urine, excrement, shedding and chewing can have damaging effects on many types of floors. You need to choose a floor covering that is durable, resistant to most scuffs and stains and easy to clean and disinfect.
Linron Company offers several options for flooring in spaces that see a little or a lot of use by our four-legged family members.
R-Tek Manufacturing Flooring System
The R-Tek range of commercial flooring and retail interlocking floor tiles offer an excellent alternative to traditional nonslip retail floors such as carpet and sheet vinyl. They offer a variety of textures, colors and thicknesses to meet any need. R-Tek interlocking solutions can be utilized to cover uneven, damp and dusty subfloors with little or no subfloor preparation, making them an ideal solution to commercial space. The PU (polyurethane) coated surface adds additional protection against staining and scratching. Maintenance is easy as well. Simply sweep or vacuum up dust and then damp [not wet] mop the tiles. Water by itself or with a small quantity of detergent will suffice with either a mop or a rotary scrubber dryer if available. If required you can hose off the floor with your garden hose or a power washer [under 1300 psi].
Mohawk LVT
Mohawk’s luxury vinyl tile, plank, and sheet vinyl offers a durable, protective top layer that resists scratches, dents, and stains from pets. It is exceptionally easy to clean, and more protected against drops and spills.
Mohawk Builder + Multifamily brand also includes their ALL PET PLUS PROTECTION PLAN. It is the only pet-friendly protection & warranty system that covers all pets, all accidents, all the time, plus scratch protection. Installed with Schonox high moisture rated 93 adhesive, Mohawk is a beautiful option that can stand up to nearly all pet interactions.
Takiron PATHWAYS Slip Resistant Vinyl Flooring
Takiron offers a unique anti-slip flooring with its PATHWAYS collection. Pathways provides excellent absorption of floor impact noise creating comfortable, safe, and quiet spaces. The texture of Pathways is aesthetically pleasing and the nature of the product makes it ideal for heavy use pet areas such as grooming spaces because it is easy to clean, durable, and has anti-fouling properties that assist in maintaining a sanitary environment. This product is heat-welded at the seams so there is no chance of pet urine to seep below the flooring in these areas. Clean up is also a breeze with the option to heat seal this flooring around a floor drain.
These are only some of the options that Linron offers that are ideal for pet friendly commercial installations. Linron can also customize a solution specific for your pet friendly needs, from an office doggie daycare to a fully functional animal hospital.
