Read on and make an informed decision on which option is the most suitable for you and your home. But first, let's learn about the differences between these types of flooring;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's The Difference Between Engineered Wood and Laminate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen deciding between laminate or engineered wood, there are subtle differences to consider. Engineered floors are made from different types of trees and placed together to form a perfect structure for flooring. Laminate flooring works similarly to engineered, as it is made up of different layers but starts with a HDF high density fibre core, with the rest being printed layers. Both provide a tongue-and-groove system for easy fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's The Difference Between Solid Wood and Engineered Wood?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually engineered wood flooring looks identical to solid wood flooring, once it has been installed, as what you see on the surface is the same. However, the layers underneath are constructed from other types of real wood to save costs. Therefore, solid wood flooring is more expensive than engineered wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the cheapest flooring?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re working with a tighter budget, then laminate flooring is your best option. There are now plenty of laminate floors which look realistic and are made to a high quality. Don’t compromise on quality just because you're paying a lower price. Expect walnut laminate, oak and beech, and plenty of other sophisticated styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2434\" src=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_1093402319.jpg\" alt=\"Laminate flooring\" width=\"514\" height=\"343\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/laminate\/guides\"\u003eguides to laminate flooring\u003c\/a\u003e for more information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Much Are Engineered Wood Floors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered wood is the middle ground of floors. Expect to pay a little more than laminate but not so much as solid wood. If you want a truly sophisticated style without a large price tag, engineered is the perfect solution. As well as price, it’s also the middle ground for maintenance and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_550186171.jpg\" alt=\"Engineered solid wooden floor\" width=\"505\" height=\"337\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/real-wood-flooring\/guides\"\u003esolid wood floor guides\u003c\/a\u003e for more information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre Solid Wood Floors Expensive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling solid wood can be expensive, especially if your home has plenty of space. However, you really do get what you pay for. Being happy with paying a little more will mean you reap the benefits of your beautiful flooring for years to come, as a more expensive engineered wood will have a thicker veneer, meaning it can withstand sanding for repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_585223688.jpg\" alt=\"Solid wood flooring\" width=\"517\" height=\"229\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/real-wood-flooring\/guides\"\u003esolid wood floor guides\u003c\/a\u003e for more information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the best quality floors?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality of both engineered and solid wood flooring is incredibly high. Both create a beautiful impression in any room. As they contain real wood, they are of exceptional quality. Between the two, solid wood has a higher quality, as it is made completely of solid planks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered is made of solid wood with a composite layer. This helps it retain its quality when placed in adverse environments such as wet, hot, or cold rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the most durable type of flooring?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaminate is the most durable of all wood floors. It comes with a pre-applied varnish which helps keep the boards in good condition. On the other hand, solid wood is the least durable. It will contract or expand depending on the conditions of the rooms it is placed in. In wet conditions the wood will expand and warp, and in cold situations it will contract. Engineered wood is more durable than solid wood, but not as much as laminate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll flooring options are susceptible to signs of wear and tear over the years, such as fine scratches or dents left from heeled shoes or heavy furniture. To prevent this, regularly brushing and cleaning with a damp mop will prevent fine dust scratches, whilst taking special care when moving furniture will help prevent damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the easiest floors to repair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith both solid and engineered wood floors, you have the ability to fix marks that have occurred over the years. Simply sand and refinish. Laminate, on the other hand, is difficult to repair. You’ll most often need to repair a full board, rather than just the damaged spot. But for solid and engineered, you can re-sand multiple times. The amount of times depends on the thickness of the veneer. As solid wood is the thickest of all, it can be repaired most easily. You will generally only be able to re-sand engineered wood up to 5 or 6 times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeciding on what floor you want to install in your home can be a difficult decision to make. After all, you'll be seeing and using it every day, and flooring is not something that is easily replaced if you decide you didn't get it right the first time. To help make sure you get the perfect flooring option for your home we've looked at the pros and cons of engineered, laminate and solid wood to give your home that perfect real wood look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Engineered Wood?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most popular types of floors, engineered blends the style and sophistication of solid flooring with the durability and price of laminate. Of course, you lose out a little each way, but as a blend between cost and style, you can’t do much better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePros of Engineered Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used in bathrooms and kitchens as it's much more resistant to wet conditions than solid wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable and can be sanded and refinished up to two times, depending on the thickness of the veneer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasier to repair than laminate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a realistic finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used over underfloor heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCons of Engineered Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore expensive than laminate flooring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasier to damage than laminate flooring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSusceptible to excessive water damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be cold and loud to walk on, as most wood floors can be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Laminate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_399985504.jpg\" alt=\"Why choose laminate\" width=\"518\" height=\"337\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurable and particularly budget-friendly, laminate wood is the perfect solution for those who want a wood look without a large price tag. Laminate consists of a core of HDF, just like engineered wood, but instead of a veneer of real wood, it has a photographic layer. This is designed to mimic an extensive variety of species of wood. This means that for a very small fee you can achieve a finish similar to real wood, without having to worry about maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtremely easy to fit with either a click or tongue and groove system these floorboards can be fitted in your home quickly to produce an instant and dramatic change to the appearance of the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePros of Laminate Flooring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to install, re-install and remove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe most durable of all three flooring options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan handle excessive wear and tear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCons of Laminate Flooring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficult to repair as boards have to be completely replaced when damaged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be loud to walk on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be cold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe photographic layer doesn't always provide a realistic finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind out more in our '\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/advice-centre\/what-is-laminate-flooring\"\u003eWhat is Laminate Flooring\u003c\/a\u003e' guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Solid Wood?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid wood flooring is the only option of these three flooring types that consists completely of solid wood, with no other products used in its makeup.
