Can someone tell me what is best for a house and why? What are advantages and disadvantages?Thanks
If budget is no issue then real wood is the way to go. Yes, some engineered wood flooring is expensive too. But, the real wood surface is much more manageable and will out last engineered flooring 2 to 1. The real question is in deciding which wood flooring to go with. You should contact some contractors and get at least 3 or more suggestions. Good Luck! You will enjoy your wood floors.
Real wood floors are thick, they can be refinished many times, of course you won't live that long. Engineered wood floors can be refinished a few times, and is all you need. Laminate floors, can not be refinished...When they start looking tacky (8-10 yrs) you replace them or carpet over top. If you are going to keep your house, go for real wood or engineered floors, and before you buy, Ask about the refinishing angle, just to make sure.
