Which Hebeta floor suits your four‑legged friend?
A dog sprinting excitedly through the hallway, a cat following the same path across the living room every day. You notice immediately: a floor has to handle little claws, speed, curiosity, and occasionally a small accident.
Why LVT doesn’t scratch easily
Dogs’ and cats' nails can quickly leave marks on some floors. With LVT, it’s different. The wear layer forms a hard, transparent protective layer that prevents nails from leaving permanent marks.
You hardly notice light scratches, and small taps disappear into the matte texture. This is because the surface isn’t smooth, but slightly textured. You especially notice it when your dog or cat runs through the room. The floor continues to look calm, even when a lot is happening in the house.
Cleaning up accidents
A pet brings coziness but sometimes also small accidents. LVT is fully water-resistant, so moisture doesn’t penetrate the floor. You can quickly clean it with a lightly damp cloth.
For lasting freshness, Hebeta recommends James. These maintenance products are specially designed for LVT and support the matte top layer, keeping the floor looking beautiful and even, even after multiple cleaning sessions.
Practical tips for keeping your floor looking beautiful for a long time
These small tips help keep your floor in top condition:
- Trim nails for extra grip and less clicking noise
- Use felt pads under furniture to make sliding easier
- Place a mat or rug by the door or pet bed for extra comfort
The floor itself does most of the work. Its technology makes it suitable for daily life with pets.
Texture for grip
Pets need grip, especially dogs. A smooth floor can feel unstable and lead to slipping. That’s why Hebeta has a matte, slightly textured top layer. This provides just enough traction for your pet to move confidently around the space.
You notice it when a dog makes an excited turn or a cat takes a quick leap. The movement feels controlled, and the floor supports them rather than getting in the way.
Sound and walking comfort
Nails on a wooden floor often sound sharp. With LVT, it’s different. The surface dampens noise, so you hear less clicking and the room sounds calmer. This is pleasant for you, but also for your pet. Dogs and cats are sensitive to loud noises and feel more at ease when their surroundings are quiet.
In addition, LVT feels slightly warm. A cat often naturally chooses a spot on the floor. A dog likes to lie by the couch or in the sun, enjoying immediate comfort.
