Greenwich scratch-proof flooring — dogs, claws and accidents
Big dogs, older cats and puppies in training all destroy the wrong floor. In Greenwich we spec scratch-rated LVT and rigid SPC with textured finishes so the animal gets grip on turns and you don't get gouges up the hallway. Fully waterproof so accidents don't reach the subfloor.

Before we quote a lvt job in Greenwich
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — georgian and victorian period homes subfloors in Greenwich almost always need ply or self-levelling screed first.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Greenwich hallways that means front-door to kitchen.

Pet-Friendly Flooring in Greenwich — common questions
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 georgian and victorian period homes hallways have.
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.
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.
Yes — 2mm acoustic underlay under LVT drops paw noise by roughly 18dB. Standard on Greenwich first-floor pet fits.
