For beauty and durability, a hardwood floor is hard to beat. Wood floors cost more than carpet but they also last longer and require little regular maintenance. Technological advances in recent years have resulted in the introduction of lower cost laminates that look wear like the real thing.
Woods, such as oak, cherry or fir don't dent as easily as pine, and any minor damage that may occur can be restained to hide it. Hardwood floors can be left their natural color or given a stain, ranging from light (blond) to dark (cherry). Simulated wood products look like wood but are made of synthetic rubbers that won't scratch or dent as easily as the real thing. Plus, they're fairly easy to install yourself with good results.
