Large animals can scratch or abuse just about any flooring except porcelain tile. And they can certainly scratch Marmoleum, as can heavy furniture dragged across the floor. The key, however, is that just like hardwood, it can be buffed out, repaired and refinished. You can't do this with vinyl or laminate flooring. Once they are scratched they cannot be repaired, and consequently they are usually dumped in a landfill within 10 years. Marmoleum is a long-term sustainable product, made with natural bio-based ingredients that are renewable and recyclable. It does not contain or off-gas any hazardous chemicals and is naturally anti-static and antimicrobial, which is why it�s so popular in schools and hospitals�especially bathrooms.Marmoleum comes in 1/8""-thick sheets and tiles, as well as 3/8""-thick engineered floating planks and squares. While the surface is the same Marmoleum in all three cases, the installation method is different. Marmoleum sheet and tile are glued to a perfectly flat subfloor usually by a professional, while the Marmoleum Click CinchLoc is a DIY installation that can be applied directly over most subfloors above, at or below grade. All Marmoleum products will resist pet urine and scratches. While they may not be perfect, they are an excellent eco-friendly alternative that is beautiful and safe for you, your family and your pets."
