Is Solid Wood Flooring Better Than Laminate?

As a homeowner, I'm all about safety, quality and efficiency. That's why I've been in the flooring trade for over 20 years and why, when it comes to flooring, I always prefer solid wood.

Solid wood flooring is a great choice for those who want a durable, long-lasting flooring option. Although it may cost more than laminate flooring, its resistant to wear and tear, meaning it can last a lot longer. Plus, it adds a more authentic charm to any home, as it's made from natural materials. 

Laminate flooring is a more affordable option, but it isn't as long-lasting or as durable as solid wood. You may even find that replacing your laminate flooring more frequently can end up costing you more in the long run.

A few years ago, when my son Gus was nine, my wife Felicity and I decided to replace our old laminate flooring with solid wood. We wanted something that would last and be safe for our two sons, Gus and Frank, and our dog, Blue. The quality of the solid wood we chose from FlooringHub.co.uk was undeniable – it was thick, strong and durable. We were absolutely delighted with the results.

At FlooringHub.co.uk, we offer a wide range of solid wood and engineered wood flooring options. We have something to suit every budget and taste, so you can create the perfect look for your home. 

So, when it comes to flooring, I'd recommend solid wood flooring every time. Although it may cost a bit more than laminate, it's worth it in the long run for its durability, quality and safety. Plus, at FlooringHub.co.uk, you can find something to suit your tastes and budget.
