I bought an under constructed house a few years ago and got it now. Now I am planning to get my entire flat decorated. I heard a lot about the hardwood and laminate flooring from my father, but I was unsure which is better. So, I researched the hardwood vs laminate flooring differences. The primary difference I found was that the lifespan of laminate flooring is significantly less than real hardwood flooring. I have shared more differences below.
Laminate Flooring vs Hardwood Flooring
Here are the differences between laminate flooring and hardwood flooring I came across.

100% solid wood |

High Durability (can last for a lifetime) |

Highly water- and stain-resistant |

I am planning to get hardwood flooring for my housing because of its durability. However, I am planning to contact the professional before finalising it.
