Wood floors or Laminate

Posted by mariah omak, on
I would like to fit my entire house with wooden floors but I am not sure whether to use real wood or laminate. I like the look of real wood and know it lasts longer but does it need more maintenance?

The 1st question i always ask is how long do you intend living at the property. Next do you have dogs or young children. In my opinion as a qualified fitter for wood is Oiled Flooring ,because its easy to maintain. You will also need to be aware of the subfloor . This will determine whether to have engineered or solid wood If you do decide to go for laminate. Quickstep is the No 1. I could go on but best to post job Regards Jeff ( Guild Flooring. F.I.T.A)
