I'm updating 83 year old but tiny home. I was going to install Allure Travel Master "vinyl" planks until I googled 'hazard vinyl floor' and discovered toxic chemicals in Allure vinyl and the glue used created MANY health issues in people and dogs and cats. Linoleum is not vinyl and is made of natural eco safe products, but I don't want to glue something to the old hardwoods. Are there non-stick linoleum products?
If I refinish the hardwoods polyurethane is applied as a top coat. It comes in oil base and non-oil base apparently. Polyurethane itself is toxic to birds, but as a top coat it shouldn't be a problem after the fumes dissopate, right? If so, how long should I wait before reintroducing my blue and gold macaws to the house after the polyurethane is applied?
Any advice or other suggestions other than carpeting or real tile?
