1. Parquet

Made from solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, cherry, lime, maple and mahogany. Their textures ranges from smooth, hand-scraped, distressed to wire-brushed. It is a great option if you love patterns and tones but it is prone to scratches, fading in the presence of sunlight

2. Engineered Wood

Almost 100% made from real timber wood, with a solid wood veneer on the topmost layer (the thicker the wood veneer, the pricier it is). It is extremely durable, resistant to moisture and less prone to warping. However it cannot be refinished if the top veneer is thin and of a lower quality

3. Laminate

Think composite wood slabs pressed together and finished with a top layer of ‘photographed wood’ covering. It can mimic all wood patterns and is more affordable than hardwood floorings. However it is suspect to discoloration and it is not ideal for large spaces as it might look cheap and synthetic

It is great for households with pets and children but you are expected to pay more as compared to the other options.
