Choosing the right flooring for your home can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re deciding between laminate and engineered hardwood. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

In this article, we walk you through the key differences between laminate and engineered wood flooring. From looks and durability to water resistance and cost, we lay out what you need to know to make the best choice for your lifestyle and budget.

Not Your Normal Laminate

At Turner Homes, our premium laminate flooring looks and feels like real hardwood. Mohawk RevWood is offered as a standard feature in our homes, giving you premium quality without the premium price.

Here are some of RevWood’s most appealing features:

  • Durable and Scratch-Resistant: The surface is four times more scratch-resistant than other leading laminated wood products, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and homes with pets.
  • Waterproof: RevWood offers water-tight joints and a proprietary waterproof finish, providing a lifetime surface and subfloor warranty.
  • Designed for Real Life: Whether it’s juice spills, muddy cleats, or dogs running through the house, this floor can handle it all.
  • Realistic Look: Visuals capture the color, texture, and beauty of natural hardwood, making it nearly indistinguishable from real wood.

Natural Hardwood Beauty

If you’re looking for the beauty and timeless appeal of natural wood, engineered hardwood may be the right choice for you. Mohawk’s TecWood line of engineered hardwood flooring is available as an optional upgrade when building with Turner Homes.

Here are some of the standout features of engineered hardwood:

  • Natural Visuals: Each plank features a natural hardwood veneer, offering a unique and authentic wood appearance that adds character and elegance to your space.
  • Enhanced Durability: Engineered construction provides dimensional stability, making the flooring more resistant to humidity and temperature changes.
  • Matte Finish: The flooring offers the look of a true oil finish while providing the durability of a urethane coating, enhancing the wood’s natural beauty and making it easier to maintain.
  • Sustainable Choice: Made from responsibly sourced hardwood.
