Do dogs scratch LVP flooring?

• <div><p>Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring is a thick, high-quality vinyl that joins with click-lock edges. Unlike some budget vinyl flooring, it’s tough, easy to install, and scratch-resistant. While this means it’s much less likely to get damaged by your dog’s claws, it isn’t scratch-proof. Regularly trimming long dog nails reduces the risk of scratch marks and helps keep your dog comfortable.</p></div>

What is the longest-lasting flooring for a kitchen?

• <div><p>Porcelain and ceramic tile are two of the longest-lasting kitchen flooring materials. However, while these materials can withstand a good amount of daily wear and tear, they’re likely to crack if you drop something heavy on them, and they’re pricier than many other options. On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-buy-and-install-ceramic-tile.htm">installing a ceramic tile kitchen floor costs</a> between $1,240 and $11,250. Other durable kitchen flooring options include natural stone and concrete.</p></div>

Q: Should I worry about uneven floors?

• <div><p>Uneven floors often signal structural issues in a home, so taking them seriously is vital. If you buy an older home with slightly uneven floors, check that your inspector thoroughly inspects the foundation to catch any potential issues early. And if you notice that your floors are becoming more uneven over time, call a pro to check your foundation ASAP.</p></div>

Q: What to do when your flooring is discontinued?

• <div><p>If you are ready to work on replacing floorboards but discover that your hardwood floor type has been discontinued, there are some options. You can get a piece of unfinished wood in the same wood type and thickness and stain it yourself. Also, consider contacting the manufacturer to see what similar products they may have in their product line that may work for you. Otherwise, you can contact a speciality company to customize exactly what you need.</p></div>

Q: What’s the max PSI that won’t damage vinyl?

• <div><p>Although it isn&rsquo;t recommended to use more than 1,500 pounds of force per square inch (or PSI) on delicate siding materials like wood and metal, it&rsquo;s safe to use more than that on surfaces made of stone, cement, and, yes, vinyl. In most cases, you can use up to 3,500 PSI without any problems, though you&rsquo;ll want to make sure to use a tip with a spray span that better disperses this pressure, like a green or yellow tip.</p></div>
