Laminate flooring or Hardwood flooring which one will suit the person home best

Introduction:

Whether it is Laminate wood flooring or hardwoods flooring both have their pros and cons and

to choose one of them for one’s home is one of the most confusing tasks for most of the

people. In this article we will highlight some facts about both these flooring types which will

help the one to make a decision on choosing one of these floorings.

Laminate Flooring:

Laminate flooring depending on quality is broadly classified into two types. Type 1 is the cheap

laminate flooring which looks similar to laminate wood flooring but one can easily tell apart

that it’s laminate flooring and not a real wood. Type 2 is expensive laminate flooring which

looks a lot similar to real wood flooring and is very hard to tell apart whether its laminate wood

flooring or real wood. We would recommend one this expensive breed of laminate flooring as it

is made up of top quality raw materials and is more durable than cheap laminate flooring.

Moreover it lasts longer and doesn’t receive damage so easily.

Laminate flooring has its own advantages as it is easy to clean, and it also comes in waterproof

and water resistant variants so it can be used in parts of the home like the kitchen or bathroom

as well.

Hardwood flooring:

Real deal offers true comfort and what an alternative can’t offer. If one want to feel the

warmth of real wood than he have to choose hardwood flooring. Hardwood flooring is

expensive than laminate flooring generally and also requires extra care on a regular basis but in

comparison to what it offers it seems nothing. Hardwood flooring improves the person’s home

interiors and makes it look sensational. It lasts longer than laminate flooring and one doesn’t

need to change the whole floor if certain parts of it get damaged like in laminate flooring. A

protective surface coating if applied in about every three months extends the life of hardwood

flooring. The Major advantage of hardwood is that it remains looking like new as on the day

when it was installed in one’s home even after many years if its owners maintain it properly

and carefully.

Which one should the person choose of the above two flooring types?

The main factor in choice remains the budget. Of course hardwood is the best choice if he has

budget for it, he can even settle with expensive high quality laminate flooring if he is planning

to sell his house, it will definitely allow him to earn higher sell value.
