This material of flooring is come from the beauty of natural wood that people admire. The other type of wood flooring is Laminate Flooring which is made of High Density Fibred Board (HDF) plus a layer of printing decorative paper on top with repeating patterns, while hardwood are natural from trees with different patterns.

Hardwood flooring is a durable product which can last for life. This material is quite expensive. Some people just want the look of hardwood, but not the expense. Then they will go for laminate flooring. To the naked eye, laminated wood is just like a hardwood floor.

Laminated wood is actually more resistant to scratch and wear as compare to hardwood flooring. It is designed for convenience and has a limited life of 15 to 20 years.
