Choosing the right floor
when you live with pets.
Slip resistance alone isn't enough.
Cushioning, water resistance, easy cleaning, and how well the surface hides furniture marks — all of it matters.
renovy offers three pet-friendly floors, and there is no single "best." What's right for you depends on what you value most in daily life.
The three floors, side by side.
| Criteria | Cushion Floor | Non-skid Sheet | Tile Carpet |

◎ Excellent ○ Good enough △ Modest − Not supported
* All three surfaces are noticeably less slippery than standard flooring for pets.
* Prices shown are per tatami; larger areas may reduce the per-unit price.
If cost is the priority
Cushion Floor
¥12,800/ tatami (incl. tax)
The most affordable of the three, with balanced cushioning and strong water resistance.
Accidents and spills wipe clean, which suits kitchens and living rooms. Because the surface is softer, heavy furniture like sofas can leave a mark — worth knowing before you commit.
- Keeping the budget lean
- Wanting some cushion under paw
- Floors that need to shrug off water and spills
If longevity is the priority
Non-skid Sheet
¥17,800/ tatami (incl. tax)
A firmer sheet-style floor with excellent grip and long-term durability.
Cushioning is a step below cushion floor, but furniture marks are minimal and the surface resists scratches and wear. Its high water resistance and easy care make it a natural choice for living areas, dining rooms and kitchens.
- Avoiding visible furniture marks
- Prioritising durability over softness
- Wanting a surface that wipes clean easily
If grip and quiet matter most
Tile Carpet
¥18,800/ tatami (incl. tax)
The most slip-resistant of the three, with the best cushioning and sound insulation.
It absorbs footsteps and the impact of jumping down, which is why we recommend it for bedrooms and apartment buildings. Because it comes in tiles, a single square can be lifted and swapped when it gets soiled. Wiping up liquid takes a little more effort than the sheet floors.
- Prioritising grip above everything else
- Being kind to older joints
- Softening footsteps and landing sounds
- Swapping out just the soiled area if needed
By room.
LivingLiving
Any of the three work here. Cushion Floor for budget, Non-skid for durability and furniture, Tile Carpet for grip and quiet.
Kitchen / DiningKitchen
Water and food make this the toughest room. Cushion Floor and Non-skid, both easy to wipe, are the usual choice.
BedroomBedroom
Where you want to soften footsteps and the drop from the bed. Tile Carpet, with its cushioning and quiet, tends to win.
Not sure? These three lines cover it.
You can also mix materials room by room —
Non-skid in the living room, Tile Carpet in the bedroom, for example.
We'll tailor the combination to how your pet lives at home.
Let us recommend the floor
that fits your room and your pet.
The right floor depends on your pet's breed, age, daily routine and how the room is used.
