A very common question regarding wood flooring is about the differences between laminate wood flooring and real wood flooring. There are pros and cons to both, so to determine which is the best solution you have to consider factors like durability and value.

Laminate resembles wood flooring in appearance, but it is really a fiber board that is topped with a very durable wood-like finish. It is a good imitation of wood and there are many finishes to choose from like matte, embossed or smooth. The embossed style will provide the most wood-like look and feel. You can purchase laminate flooring in narrow strips of large planks, and the quality of the laminate depends on the price and the manufacturer. In general the price will range between $1.79 to $1.99 per square foot, but some cheaper laminate can be as low as $.79 per square foot.
