Gingerwood is good, but not as solid as traditional oak flooring. It will be cheaper, however.

Laminate flooring is a better choice with dogs and children because it is more resistant to scratches and moisture than real wood flooring.
yes but its better if you take the laminant flooring off. it will come out cleaner with no cold in between
Engineered or laminate flooring is generally more durable than traditional hardwood flooring. This is because engineered or laminate flooring is made with multiple layers of materials that are designed to resist wear and tear, moisture, and scratches better than solid hardwood. Additionally, engineered or laminate flooring is often easier to maintain and less prone to warping or fading over time.
Laminate flooring used on floors can be slippery. Better to use hardwood stained to match your laminate elsewhere or replace the carpet runner.
Due the construction of the laminate flooring, it creates a hollow sound when people walk on the it, especially high heels. It is strongly suggested that a person use a more expensive backing when installing the laminate, this will give it a more hardwood sound. anonymous@oola.com
Great question. Laminate wood flooring is designed to look exactly like wood. Even though it is made of synthetic products rather than real wood. Wood will outlast laminate, but if you have children laminate is better for your home.
Pergo flooring is considered to be some of the best available.
Laminate flooring stands up pretty well in a bathroom. It is a much better choice than true hardwood floors because it will not absorb as much moisture. However, the resin that is on top of the laminate flooring often times wears off and may not last as long as other choices such as stone, vinyl tile, or ceramic tile.
You could probably laminate your own floor by yourslef but it would probably be a safer and faster idea to have a professional do it and it would loook better
One good website for this would be www.diynetwork.com. It has a tutorial on how to install laminate flooring. Other sites such as Youtube, also have user videos that teach this so that you can see it being done. It will give you a better idea of how to do it when it comes time for you to install it yourself.
This depends on which objectives are most important to you. Generally, more people prefer hardwood flooring since it's a natural produce and improves your home's value. If it's solid hardwood, it will last much longer and can be refinished multiple times. On other hand, laminate flooring is more scratch resistant and costs less.
