Tsubame 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2009 Hi, like to check with fellow forummers who have pets and homogenous floor tiles. Will the floor tiles be scratched by your pets movement over it? I have cats. My ID is concerned that the homo tiles will be scratched as she has colleague with cat and said his homo tiles after 2 yrs already show scratch marks. My current house kitchen original HDB ceramic floor tiles no problem leh. Homo tiles so not scratch-resistant? Pet-owners may have to rule out timber and laminate flooring, but even tiles? Can't expect us all to do granite or marble right? Any advise highly appreciated. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 cat can scratch homo tiles??? :jawdrop: homo tiles are supposed to be much harder than ceramic tiles loh and most importantly, cats keep their claws when they walk so even timber/laminate flooring is safe from cats i have cats and using porcelain tiles no issue at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsubame 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Hi applefreak, I thought so too. So quite shocked when my ID say homo tiles may be scratched... Got see those tiles in shopping centres scratched, but should be due to moving heavy loads across them. I've got cats, not tigers ok. But timber flooring will scratch, although is faint marks. My current house timber floor... but can sand & revarnish. If laminate then no help already. Edited March 9, 2009 by Tsubame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsubame 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 Told my ID to go ahead with homo tiles. We don't have budget for granite anyway, initially wasn't even wanting to hack whole house. Thanks for the replies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
