DAIKEN Expands Pet-Friendly Flooring Options with New Releases

DAIKEN Expands Pet-Friendly Flooring Options

DAIKEN Co., Ltd., based in Osaka, has unveiled two exciting new flooring products designed for pet owners. On June 23, the company will launch the ‘IERIA Floor 3T Select Premium Wood Pattern (Pet-Compatible)’ suitable for heated floors, alongside an enhanced version of ‘One Love Floor V,’ reflecting the latest trends with a premium wood design. These new additions aim to create a comfortable and healthy living space for both pets and their owners.

Background

In recent years, the notion of pets as family members has gained traction, leading to an increased demand for interior materials that provide comfort for both pets and their humans. DAIKEN has been a pioneer in this realm since the early 2000s, launching products specifically for pet-friendly homes. Their journey began with the introduction of a pet door in January 2002, followed by various innovations such as flooring designed with small dogs' needs in mind, scratch-resistant wall materials, and wall-mounted features for cat exercise. The commitment to improving pet living conditions includes acoustic ceiling materials that minimize sound and odor, addressing common concerns faced by pet owners.

With the new ‘IERIA Floor 3T Select Premium Wood Pattern’, DAIKEN furthers their mission by offering a flooring solution compatible with underfloor heating, which was previously unavailable for pet-focused products. This innovative flooring reaches a thickness of just 3mm, making it the slimmest in their catalog, reducing the risk of interference between doors and floors while remaining affordably priced. Additionally, the ‘One Love Floor V’ will feature an updated selection of premium wood patterns, encompassing modern trends to cater to the renovation market.

New Product Insights: ‘IERIA Floor 3T Select Premium Wood Pattern (Pet-Compatible)’

- Heated Flooring Compatibility: This new product is designed to withstand heat, allowing installations over heated floors, which is not common in traditional pet flooring materials. It features a cost-effective MDF core, ensuring durability despite the affordable price point.

- Ultra-Slim Design: At only 3mm thick, this flooring minimizes the risk of door interference while also ensuring beautiful aesthetics through special edge finishing, making it easier and more reliable to install compared to other thin materials.

- Stylish Wood Patterns: Eight attractive wood patterns have been introduced under the ‘Premium Wood’ line, featuring realistic wood grains available in various colors, appealing to modern homeowners.

Additional Product Updates: ‘One Love Floor V’

In addition to the new ‘IERIA Floor 3T’, the updated ‘One Love Floor V’ will now offer eight new patterns with premium wood designs, including a collection of seven new patterns along with the existing pale gray design, totaling 15 unique options available.

Common Features of Both Products

These products prioritize safety for pets. Research from the Flooring Material Structure Research Group has guided the development of non-slip surfaces that cater specifically to canine movement. Both options highlight their strengths in preventing scratches, managing odors, and resisting stains, ensuring a clean and safe environment for pets.

Main Specifications and Sales Goals

- ‘IERIA Floor 3T Select Premium Wood Pattern (Pet-Compatible)’ aims for a sales target of 1,000 tsubo per month by March 2026.
- ‘One Love Floor V’ is projected to reach 4,000 tsubo per month by the same timeframe.
