1) Engineered Wood Flooring:
- Composed of multiple layers of wood, with a top layer of hardwood veneer.
- More resistant to moisture and temperature changes than solid wood.
- Can be installed in places where solid wood might not be suitable (like basements).
- Comes in various finishes and styles.
2) Laminate Wood Flooring:
- Not actual wood, but a wood-look material made of high-density fiberboard (HDF) with a photographic wood veneer layer on top.
- Budget-friendly option with a similar appearance to real wood.
- Durable and scratch-resistant but cannot be refinished.
