Charlton scratch-proof flooring — dogs, claws and accidents
Most Charlton pet-flooring calls follow the same pattern: a laminate that scratched, a carpet that stained, a vinyl that curled at the door. We fit LVT rated AC5+ with a 0.55mm wear layer — claws don't mark it, and the whole floor mops clean.

"Cat had a UTI phase — SPC survived it all, just mopped through." — Charlton homeowner

Charlton lvt — the details that matter
- Charlton subfloor reality
Riverside blocks have leasehold acoustic specs — we always use the specified underlay.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Charlton hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
Bottom line: the right floor lasts three dogs. The wrong floor lasts three months.

Pet-Friendly Flooring in Charlton — common questions
Yes — 2mm acoustic underlay under LVT drops paw noise by roughly 18dB. Standard on Charlton first-floor pet fits.
Stain-resistant loop pile or solution-dyed nylon — both let you mop or spot-clean accidents without a mark. Standard wool will hold the stain forever.
Not the wear-rated ranges we fit. AC5 LVT is tested for commercial retail traffic — a house cat can't get through the top layer. Cheaper £15/m² LVT will mark within weeks.
Rigid SPC with a 0.55mm+ wear layer and a textured (not smooth) finish. It's fully waterproof, claws don't mark it, and it gives dogs grip on the turns most victorian village terraces hallways have.
