We are going with matching floors that we had done 3 years ago downstairs.
We have true wood floors but used an oak Engineered Wood rather then a solid oak. It has all the features of full wood but lasts longer and is better for the application we hade. The downstairs is on a slab and needed to be glued rather then nailed. You can’t properly float a wood floor like you can with interlocking Pergo. I don’t like the look or feel of fake wood. We also choose a "Micro Bevel" to give it a little deffanition.
We went with the "Bruce" brand. It cost more but has a 25 year guarantee on the original finish and can be sanded and re-done up to 3 times. We have had it for 3-4 years now and it still looks like the day we got it. There is nothing like a real wood floor.
