Laminate floors are extremely durable and wear resistant. Easy quick and simple cleaning. Laminate is sold in planks, Tile patterns that are glued or snapped together and can be laid over most other existing floors (excluding carpet over pad). Laminate is one of the only floors that can be installed over ceramic tile. Each board is constructed with a core of high density fiber board which is very moisture resistant. As with most hard surface flooring, laminate floors can scratch so floor protectors are recommended. ( legs of sofas, chairs, table so on. )
Hardwood flooring: is a type of flooring made from the timber of hardwoods, or of spruce or hard pine. There are two basic manufactured types of hardwood. Wood flooring comes pre-finished unfinished, and once installed is sanded, then finished on site. More modernly, the product is pre-finished in a factory. The products that are pre-finished are often a polyurethane finish that has added aluminum oxide, however some companies use titanium dioxide or other oxides instead.

Solid Wood Flooring:
Solid hardwood is the traditional hardwood floor, constructed of a single section of specially selected lumber which is finished by milling into a tongue and groove finished product. Solid hardwood floors are usually 3/4" thickness and are suitable only for nail down installations over ply-wood, OSB, and tongue and groove board, and particle board wood sub floors on or above-grade. 5/16" solid hardwood floors are also now available, and in some instances, where no moisture exists in the sub floor, it may be glued down over concrete.
Engineered Wood Flooring:Engineered wood flooring is recommended high humidity climate. Engineered wood flooring is typically composed of multiple layers which are glued together (cross laminated) making a finished flooring product that is very resistant to expansion and contraction from temperature and/or moisture. Most wood flooring you see in houses today is engineered hardwood floors.
