What type of wood flooring is the best choice?
Let’s look at each type of wood flooring:
Whether you want the real thing in the form of “engineered flooring” or go for laminate flooring, which is quite affordable.
Solid wood flooring at its best
Solid flooring will create a natural and warm ambiance in your home – perfect especially during wintertime. They are also very durable and can last for a really long time. They can be sanded and refinished many times over making them look like new again. With solid wood flooring, you have many choices of species, types and colours.
Engineered flooring
This type of flooring uses the latest technology in wood flooring. Engineered flooring is a floor board which is made using a layered construction of more than one piece of timber, where a thin layer of hardwood in glued on top of a softwood layered base. This top layer is glued in multiple directions to increase the strength and stability of the layer of solid timber and is responsible for the reducing the movement of a wood floor.
Engineered wood floors are resistant to moisture and this makes them a durable and strong wood flooring option. Engineered flooring can look like a real solid wood flooring.
The downside of this type of flooring is it can be harder to clean and much harder to repair if damaged.
Laminate flooring
Laminate flooring doesn’t contain any real wood, but imitate the material through a printed pattern set. This type of flooring is easy to install. Laminate flooring is a great option for those on a budget yet looking for a classy and modern alternative to carpets or other flooring option.
