Solid Hardwood Flooring
Solid hardwood flooring is the traditional and authentic hardwood flooring option and it comes with thickness level of 14mm to 22mm.

Plus the installation is labour intensive and it needs to be stapled down or nailed and hence you need to pay extra for its installation, thereby making it the expensive type of flooring for homes.
Engineered Wood Flooring
The cheaper of all is the engineered wood flooring and the thickness of the engineered wood flooring is around 1mm to 4mm and it can be glued on a layer of ply or other underlayment. The price of the engineered wood flooring is much cheaper than the solid wood because low amount of premium wood is used for designing the engineered floors. The installation of the engineered wood flooring can be done in multiple ways like nailing or stapling, click and fit and gluing it down.
But before installation some grinding would be required and you need to recoat the flooring every 4-5 years based on the traffic and wear of the surface. The grinding would also minimize the thickness of the top layer of the wood. Grinding can be done only few times with engineered flooring, but several times with solid wood flooring. Before installing engineered wooden flooring you must check for its thickness.

Laminate Flooring
It is not actually wooden flooring, but it looks like solid wood when installed professionally. Laminate wooden flooring is the perfect choice for those homeowners who want to achieve the authentic look of solid wood in their house without spending huge sum of money. This is the type of wooden flooring which comprises of plastic laminate on top layer with MDF bottom board. The cost of the laminate flooring is very low as compared to all the counterparts and hence this makes it the cheaper alternative to solid wood and engineered wood flooring. The cost of the laminate flooring in India ranges from Rs. 120 to Rs. 1200 per square feet depending upon the brand and supplier.
The wear and tear of laminate flooring easily shows up on its surface and the bottom MDF board absorbs moisture in high humid weather and can easily get destroyed. So, it is not suitable for areas with high traffic and also for homes located in humid regions.
