  For those who have had both engineered and solid hardwood flooring, which would say is more durable? Since our downstairs was flooded out the other night, we need to get our wood floors replaced. I'm getting very opposing feedback with people being adamant that engineered wood is better and others are adamant that solid hardwood is better. Several have had BOTH types of flooring which leaves me a bit stumped. I realize that 'better' is relative as it depends on what a person wants out of their flooring. We currently have engineered hardwood that was installed from the previous owners of the home. (I'd have to dig up the papers but I THINK they were installed 6-7 years ago??) There areas of the flooring where the thin (veneer?) peeled off and there are quite a bit of nicks and dents in it from items being dropped - mainly in the kitchen. Aside from the aesthetics, we want it to be durable. We know that it's not going to be as durable as tile for instance but we'd like to get the most durable wood floors as we possibly can for the price. We don't want the cheapest for the sake of having wood floors and we don't live in a grand house so we don't want the top of the line but something that's of good quality for a fair, mid range price. To clarify, it would be going in our downstairs flooring, we know to avoid smooth flooring with a shine because it will show every flaw. We both want basic, handscraped floors. Thanks!

  Yes, ok. Look at https://peekscarpet.com/specials/exceptional-buys/ and scroll down to the two images that describe porcelain planks. Those are on special now (overstock) and are so cool. Looks like a wood floor but is the awesome durability of porcelain (which is the best!) . Now that I've learned flooring, that is exactly what I would buy. There are two on that page. FYI, the Kahala Sunset is the best option if doing engineer wood floor. It's not listed there on that website page, but it is on special (see whatever that ad says that I linked you to). Of course there is a minimum purchase and that price does not include installation ... so ask about all that.

  Yes! Porcelain tile is sooo cool. Durable. My friend John can hook you up. I can give you his cell. They are in the middle of a sales person change, so he is handling most orders this month. He can steer you to what they have in stock and have the best deals on. If you buy what they need to get rid of, you will get the best deal. Have that Kahala Sunset still overstocked right now. Have some porcelain tile in overstock too.. Let me look it up and get you John's cell. His name is John Stacy and his family owns Peek's Floor Co. Great guy,. Hold on...
