(Q&A) Laminate Flooring - Unlike solid and engineered wood, laminate is not made of real wood. It's created in a "lamination" process where wood is pressed together at high temperatures and are made of fiber board materials and melamine resin. I Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring - Unlike laminate products LVP is not made of wood product at all. It is actually Vinyl but a very durable and waterproof material when installed correctly. Engineered Hardwood Flooring - Engineered floors are made of real wood and have 2 or more layers. They do not to be finished after installation and quality engineered floors can be sanded and refinished again. They are popular do to their durability and ability to adapt to moisture better than solid flooring. Solid Hardwood Flooring - 100% Real wood and comes in wide variety of species. Is sanded and finished after installation. More prone to moisture changes in areas where humidity changes. Can be refinished multiple times.
