Re: Fitted carpets or hard floors

My living room and dining room have a laminated floor, which I've fallen out with, and it was a good idea at the time but, with having pets it was easiest.

My hall and kitchen both have ceramic tiles so all hard flooring downstairs.

The three bedrooms are carpeted, but the bathroom has cork tiles.

Re: Fitted carpets or hard floors

I really don't like laminate floors (shudders), how can you sit on this kind of floor particularly in the winter, I just can't see what the attraction is.

Solid wood floors (not parquet) are lovely but they are hard work to keep looking nice and they really need good quality rugs to soften them a little.

I have carpets throughout except for the kitchen which has stone tiles, they are rough so none slip when wet and heaven to walk on with bare feet in hot weather .

Re: Fitted carpets or hard floors

Correct. They are Old English Sheepdogs. Bobtails to us in the Breed. My Parents used to breed them and they were my playmates while my Sisters and I were growing up. I took over the Dogs and the Kennel Name about 20 Years ago, but I won't be breeding any more. This is Our Maggie with her last Litter.

Re: Fitted carpets or hard floors

Having just come back from visiting two of my doggy friends I have come to the conclusion that wooden floors, are much easier! One of my friends has stone flooring throughout the ground floor (even her tables are stone) it is cold but very practical, lovely in the hot summer though.

I have 5 dogs, soon to be 6, cream carpets just don't work!
