The difference between laminate and a wooden floor
When looking from a value for money perspective, laminated flooring is usually recommended. This type of flooring is normally cheaper as the price varies between 13 euro’s to 35 euro’s per square meter. However, laminated floors generally have a repeating pattern and a different impact sound. One of the most unique features of a wooden floor is that every plank is one of a kind and therefore, every wooden floor is personal and diversified. There’s two types of wooden floors; engineered floors and solid hardwood floors. An engineered floor is constructed of layers both hardwood and plywood whereas solid hardwood floors are solid planks of wood without any layers. Hardwood flooring is usually more expensive than engineered alternatives. Engineered floors are normally more stable to humidity and/or temperature differences indoors whereas solid hardwood floors are less stable but lasts longer.
