Lets talk about the different types of flooring shall we?
Hardwood was popular for floor making in olden days, when most of the floor area was almost invariably covered by a carpet. Though strictly speaking bamboo belongs to the grass family, a floor made of bamboo can be as durable as a floor made of any hardwood. These days stripping the carpet up to reveal the hardwood underneath has become trendy.
Pergo is a popular laminate brand, amongst dozens of laminate brands that are available for floor use. Pergo laminate uses three-layers of decorative cellulose paper, melamine resins and a heat-resistant base. Each layer is bonded to the other layers and to the central core material. Pergo adds a hardener in their floor laminate that makes it 25 times harder.
Linoleum is actually solidified linseed oil mixed with wood flour or cork dust on a canvas or burlap base, was the most popular floor covering from 1860 to 1950. Thereafter it has slowly lost ground to less flammable PVC floor coverings. Both linoleum and PVC are flexible and durable. While PVC is bright and translucent, linoleum is resilient and non-allergic.
