Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is without a doubt the best bang for your buck. Laminate flooring uses a composite, usually MDF or similar, and has a flooring pattern printed on a very durable surface layer. Laminate is harder than any real wood and is virtually dent proof. Modern laminates not only simulate a pattern, but can also simulate a texture. Laminate flooring can look high-end without breaking the bank and can last a long time.
