Laminate wood flooring is a highly durable, cost-efficient alternative to traditional hardwood floors. Scratch, fade and stain resistant, laminate wood flooring never needs to be replaced or refinished. Laminate flooring is a composite material with several layers that make it strong and attractive. Available in a wide variety of colors, plank widths and wood styles, laminate flooring is versatile and will add style and class to any decor. Easy to install with a simple click joint or locking system, laminate floors don't require glue or nails and can be fully installed over an existing floor in a matter of a weekend.

Bamboo flooring is typically less exspensive than hardwood flooring. You can get laminate wood flooring for less cost than bamboo.
I would not recommend real wood flooring for a kitchen. You are better off using tiles. Real wood flooring can decay faster if you spill something on it. With laminate flooring you don't have to worry about that. However, wood flooring does look nicer. I would go with tile flooring for a kitchen and wood flooring for other rooms.
The type of wood used in hardwood flooring varies. The most common type of wood used in hardwood flooring is timber. Another common but more exotic wood in hardwood flooring is bamboo.
Wood flooring is real wood, and laminate isn't. Real wood flooring is more expensive and is the real deal. You can buy laminate cheap and it will only last so long.
This depends on which objectives are most important to you. Generally, more people prefer hardwood flooring since it's a natural produce and improves your home's value. If it's solid hardwood, it will last much longer and can be refinished multiple times. On other hand, laminate flooring is more scratch resistant and costs less.
