Hi all.. We have just bought a new place and the bedrooms have pre-installed parquet flooring. These are in good condition and no reason to change.. Our only concern is that we have pets and we want to protect the flooring from accidents. How should we waterproof our flooring? Someone mentioned that we can get those mats (like carpet but waterproof) and lay over the flooring.. Any ideas what this might be? Thank you all in advance!
