The major difference between wood floors and laminate floors is simple: one is wood, and one is not. Laminates are less expensive than wood floors because they are not truly wood floors.
In addition, unlike wood, laminate flooring cannot be refinished or repaired, and will need to be replaced when they begin to show wear. Both wood and laminates are beautiful products that are easy to maintain but, in the long run, only real wood floors will add beauty and value to your home for years to come.
