A floor for a home with dogs or cats is judged on three things: how the surface takes claws, what a puddle does to it, and how it cleans; the ranges that answer all three are the 0.55 mm rigid vinyl and the AC4 laminate, with a brushed, oiled oak as the timber option.
Pet-Friendly in Edinburgh
On the new developments in Edinburgh the rooms a dog uses are on screed with underfloor heating, and the rigid vinyl and the AC4 laminate are both listed for it; the oak option, brushed and oiled, is too, on a commissioned system. The floor still needs the screed dry first.
Edinburgh has conservation areas, and a dog in a period house lives on the original boards more often than not; where a new floor goes in, a brushed, oiled oak sits with the interior and takes the claws better than a lacquer. Where the house is listed, the original boards stay and a floating floor or a rug over them is the reversible choice.

The rigid-vinyl planks with the 0.55 mm wear layer, such as BML Rustic Oak SPC Wide Flooring and BML Grey Oak SPC Wide Flooring, are the kitchen and hallway floors here; the twelve 8 mm AC4 laminates, such as 8mm Laminate Colorado, take the dry rooms; and among the timber, a brushed, oiled board such as Ascot Brushed UV Oiled Oak Wood Flooring hides a claw mark where a smooth lacquer would show it. No gloss finishes are listed for a home with pets.

Local fact sheet
Edinburgh by postcode district: EH1, EH2, EH3, EH4, EH5 and EH6 and 7 more.
Edinburgh's tenements put flats over flats behind stone facades, and in the New Town a great many of them stand inside a conservation area or a listed terrace. That combination is unusual: the floor is governed from below by the flat underneath and from outside by the building's protection.
Edinburgh’s architectural heritage is unrivalled, from Georgian townhouses in the New Town to traditional tenement flats across Marchmont and Bruntsfield. Many properties are listed or in conservation areas, where flooring must complement original features like stone fireplaces, cornicing and sash windows. The city’s newer developments in areas like Granton and Edinburgh Park offer modern open-plan layouts.
Two sets of rules therefore apply at once. The title deeds usually set a minimum for impact sound underfoot, and the listing governs what may be done to original fabric — including lifting historic boards. Both are settled before a board is chosen, not after.

There is no single one; there is a right floor per room. Rigid vinyl with the 0.55 mm wear layer in the kitchen, the utility and the hall; an AC4 laminate or a brushed, oiled oak in the living room and bedrooms. The dog guide linked below goes room by room.
A gloss lacquer, yes, and visibly. A brushed surface with an oiled finish hides the marks in its texture and can be re-oiled in the lane where the dog walks. Clipped claws and a mat at the door matter more than the board.
Left to stand, liquid gets into a laminate joint and the core swells. Wiped up, it does no harm. For the rooms where an accident is likely the floor listed as waterproof is the safer choice.
Cold alone does no harm. What moves a floor is the swing between a long heating season indoors and a cold, damp stair outside the flat door — so fit at the moisture content the flat will actually hold, and leave the expansion gap the board asks for at every edge.
Yes. We deliver across Edinburgh and Scotland from our UK warehouse, including the EH1, EH2, EH3, EH4, EH5 and EH6 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Edinburgh address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
