What is the difference between solid wood floors, engineered wood floors, and laminates? Which is better?
A major difference between solid wood floors and laminates is their longevity. Solids last a lifetime (with the aforementioned stipulations) but laminates typically do not outlive twelve years. Solids and engineered floors can be sanded and refinished while laminates cannot. Solids are the most expensive wood floor option, followed by engineered then laminates.
