Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 Apr 30, 2012 7:37 pm Hi, I am needing advice in relation to my flooring choice of spotted gum in my new home, this needs a final decision this week!! I will have an area of 125 sqmts in my living areas to be covered. I have 2 devine French Bulldogs who live inside 24/7 and my concern is what impact they will have on the spotted gum flooring. In my current home we live with tiled areas, but I don't want that in my new house. I have though about bamboo flooring as I believe that it is hard and may tolerate the dogs better, but I would prefer spotted gum for aesthetic appearances. Please help if anybody has dogs living with either floor type and advice re best choice, floor impacts.

Have been in since end of November and so far no noticable marks and sons also visit regularly with another staffy and a miniature dachshund. We find it best not to advertise walkie time as this is when they get absolutely crazy and you hear the nails on the floor so would recommend you keep dog leads in laundry or garage and exit via those doors. Glad you also love spotted gum and will drop in a couple of pics to whet your appetite!!
