After researching the best prefinished wood flooring to have with a large dog, we installed Award flooring in cherry — supposedly with a very durable “ceramic” finish — in our new house just last March. Well, guess what? It is horribly scratched already, despite clipping our dog’s nails regularly. And the “lifetime warranty” doesn’t cover scratches (surprise surprise).
Any ideas on how to repair or refinish this floor? Is ANY wood floor finish durable enough to withstand the onslaught of an active Golden retriever?
I seem to remember hearing something about using a fine mesh over the wood but before a finish….
ANY ideas would be appreciated because we’re BUMMED!
