Question 5

Is this slip proof for dogs? We currently have laminate and have been recommended luxury vinyl to reduce dogs slipping while standing and regular walking but I would prefer a less toxic solution such as cork as long as it will still help my dogs stand and walk comfortably without sliding on the floor. Thank you so much View answer

Question 48

I have noticed that the wood look uses rPET or recycled polyethylene terephthalate from water bottles as the top coat. Does the rPET leach out and/or outgas the heavy mental antimony that is used in the manufacturing of PET. Antimony is a heavy metal that is a suspected carcinogen. Since PET in general is considered a one time use plastic that when heated or scratched can possibility release this heavy metal. Since this is a top coat in the cork wood grain product, which has high scratch resistance and I assume no issues with heat, is there any possibility of Antimony being released into the air and/or leaching? Thanks! View answer
