You’re ready to update your home, and have decided that the wood look is for you. Now you must choose between hardwoods and laminates. This is an important decision and will be based on a variety of issues including your lifestyle, your decorating style, and the area in which you live.

The major difference between hardwood floors and laminates is simple: one is wood, and one is not. Laminates are composed of multiple layers of press board. The top layer is actually a photographic image of wood that has a protective finish. Laminates are less expensive than wood floors, but they cannot be refinished and will need to be replaced when they begin to show wear.

Wood floors are affordable and there are more styles, colors, and species of wood flooring available today than ever before. They are ecologically friendly. Since it is a natural resource, wood is both renewable and recyclable. Whether you’re looking for traditional, rustic, trendy, or exotics, you’re sure to find a color and style to fit your decor and your lifestyle.
