daughter's dog inside and it was ok.l have summer oak and it's light enough that l don't
think l would see scratches,will see if l have some pics that l can show.Not sure if you asked
Q about planks butting up to carpet with stripe mine is metal not very wide.l had concerns

Thanks pattycake4. Would love to see some pics. I will chat to Harry from Complete Carpets in Blackburn. He is the guy we are dealing with. He's super to deal with!

hope this is useful
We were meant to get the country oak. I would love it if you post some photos please.

I think this flooring would be fine with a small to medium sized dog. We have two big boofy things sliding across it and that's pushing the envelope
Patty cake your floor looks sensational. So real!
Gorgeous! Summer oak was my first choice but was a little too pricey so ended up with classic oak, happy with it. It's got a good variation of colours so I think any scratches would just look part of it.
Sorry dreamline I meant treat it as though wood as in don't go dragging stuff over it. I've come from a place with tiles and I definitely have to before aware on how I move things in the house.

We have the loose lay polyflor brand. Still 5mm thick though. Check my blog for pics. Link in signiture

Patty your floor looks amazing. Great colour.

SB - that a shame the sanding didn't reduce the scratches. Do you think the darker floor shows it more?
Hey Renski,
Not sure if it's the dark floor. Regret going for the stripping and resealing, we thought it would help. It's showing the marks even more now.
Just don't care anymore. Still looks nice enough and guests dont really notice it and we are happy enough to have it for a couple of more years. Then we will rip it out and tile.
Vinyl planks just don't work for us but I'm sure they are a good option for a lot of other people.
Thanks for your photo's pattycake4. Your floors look lovely. When our house is actually built in a couple of months time, I will try to post some pics

Building should start from this month ... so when we finally have the floor down in a couple of months I will try to post a pic

Dreamline

Here is the tiles where the carpet meets. its not noticable at all.
