I'm laying a bedroom floor straight onto the joists.
Although I can work out why hardwood is better than softwood I can't see what the advantages/disadvantages are between real wood and engineered boards except that engineered boards don't expand as much.
What are the reasons for choosing one over the other?
As the floor is in a small bedroom and should get much wear & tear should I go for the far cheaper softwood?
