While Solid Hardwood Flooring is beautiful and long-lasting, it is less dimensionally stable than laminate. In other words, it can warp. Natural stone and ceramic tile can crack. Engineered wood, while more dimensionally stable than solid wood, unfortunately has a thin veneer layer that can wear down a plywood base. Ibis Laminate Flooring's thin, transparent wear layer is incredibly strong and scratch-resistant. Because of laminate's base of high-density fiberboard, it has more bounce and "give" than hard floor coverings like stone, ceramic, porcelain, or concrete. Drop a glass bottle on laminate flooring and there is a good chance that it will bounce. Drop that bottle on stone or ceramic and you have ten minutes of cleaning.Wooden Flooring & Laminated Wooden Flooring are easily installable and wisely chosen by all. The biggest problems with carpet and other soft flooring materials is that they tend to collect dust, pollen, and other small irritating particles. These are then released back into the air every time someone walks across the room, creating a hazy atmosphere filled with invisible debris which can irritate sensitive lungs. With Ibis Wood Flooring the surface is smooth and solid, ensuring that all particles can be easily cleaned away, an important factor in a room where you do nothing but breathe for hours on end. The bedroom is a place of quiet serenity, and soft vulnerability, where shoes and socks are often left off, and bare feet press directly against the floor
