Dog claws can be tough on floors. 🐾 For National Dog Day, we’re answering one of the questions we hear most often:

What flooring holds up well in a home with dogs?

When comparing luxury vinyl flooring, the wear layer is one specification worth checking. This clear protective surface is measured in mils and can provide a useful indication of durability.

Wear-layer thickness is not the only factor. The finish, surface texture, and overall product construction also matter. Matte and textured finishes can help make everyday scratches and wear less noticeable than smooth, high-gloss surfaces.

Tell us about your dog, including their size, age, and activity level. 🐶 We’ll help you compare flooring options that make sense for your household.

Thicker planks, quieter rooms.

The thing nobody mentions about flooring until it's installed: how loud it is. Chairs sliding, foot traffic, everything bouncing off a hard surface. Thicker COREtec planks with an attached underlayment absorb more of that, and the room gets easier to be in — a real difference in a restaurant, and one you feel at home too.

They're also warmer and more forgiving underfoot. Same waterproof core, more comfort.

20% off COREtec through August 31.

A little care goes a long way toward keeping your floors looking great. ✨

A few simple habits:

✅ Do sweep or dust-mop regularly — grit is what scratches a finish
✅ Do use felt pads under furniture legs
✅ Do clean up spills promptly
✅ Do use a cleaner made for your specific floor type

🚫 Don't drown wood floors in water
🚫 Don't use vinegar or steam mops on hardwood — they can dull or damage the finish over time
🚫 Don't drag heavy furniture across the surface

Treat your floors well, and they'll return the favor for years.

A home gym is one of the harder rooms to floor. Sweat, dropped weights, equipment that rolls and gets dragged back — most floors show it within a year.

COREtec holds up because the waterproofing runs through the core, not just across the surface, and the wear layer takes abuse that laminate doesn’t. Same reason it works in kitchens, mudrooms, and anywhere with kids and dogs.

There's a quiet confidence in a house like this. Hardwood carrying room to room, warm tones tying the whole floor plan together, details that look like they were always meant to be there.

August is when South Louisiana lives indoors. School routines start back, the days get built around the house again, and you start noticing the floors you cross a hundred times a day.

Kids, pets, and a house that never really slows down? Some floors are just better built for the chaos. 🐾👟

A few that tend to hold up well to real, everyday life:

• Luxury vinyl plank — durable, water-resistant, and easy to clean

• Engineered hardwood — the look of real wood with a bit more stability

• Tile and stone — nearly indestructible in entryways and mudrooms

The “best” floor really depends on your rooms, your budget, and how your household actually lives day to day. That’s the part we love helping people think through.

Waterproof through the core, not just the surface. In South Louisiana that’s the difference between a spill you wipe up and a floor you replace — humidity, kids, dogs, and the occasional appliance that decides it’s done are all the same problem to a floor that isn’t built for it.

Three collections in the showroom right now: Classics, Enhanced, and Premium. Worth coming in and putting your hand on them, because the wood grain texture doesn’t photograph.

One room or the whole house, the discount is the same.
