When comparing flooring choices, it’s important to consider durability, maintenance, and cost. Carpet can trap dust and allergens, making it harder to maintain, especially in households with pets or allergies. Laminate flooring, while budget-friendly, often lacks the authentic look and feel of real wood. Solid hardwood, though beautiful, can be expensive and may require more upkeep in Calgary’s climate.
Engineered wood offers a balance between affordability, durability, and aesthetics. It provides the warmth of natural wood while being more resistant to moisture and wear. Unlike laminate, which only mimics the look of wood, engineered wood has a genuine hardwood top layer, making it a superior choice for homeowners who want both authenticity and practicality.
