We have both hardwood and laminate floor. I honestly prefer the laminate now. The wood floor gets scratched so easily and is prone to water stains if something isn't cleaned up right away. It is such a pain because we are always having to finish it.
The laminate however has never scratched. We picked out a high quality laminate and had it professionally sealed. One of the dogs likes playing in the water bowl so often times there will be a huge puddle of water sitting on the floor for awhile before we find it and it leaves to harm. And it is so easy to clean and looks great all the time!!
The guy at the store even had a piece of laminate soaking in water that has been there for a long time to show it doesn't warp from it. |
