Which one should I use? It’s one of the most common questions we’re asked by clients, and also one of the most subjective — it depends on your budget, the room, moisture exposure, and how you want your home to look and feel. Here’s a general comparison to help start the conversation when you reach out for an estimate.

|---|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | Low — can warp with moisture | Low — can swell from spills | Excellent — fully waterproof |
| Durability / scratch resistance | Can be refinished multiple times | Very scratch-resistant | Durable, resists impact; can dent under heavy furniture |
| Look & feel | Authentic, ages beautifully | Realistic wood look, can sound hollow underfoot | Warm, soft underfoot; some lower-end products can look plasticky |
| Best for | Living rooms, bedrooms, long-term value | Budget-friendly rooms, high-traffic areas | Bathrooms, kitchens, basements, moisture-prone areas |
| Relative cost | Higher | Lower | Low–Mid |
