Laminate Wood Flooring
Hardwood floors are always an excellent choice if you can invest money in their installation and time in their upkeep. If however your budget doesn't allow for a pure hard wood floor, consider a laminated floor. It's cheaper than oak, cherry or maple and looks close enough to the real thing. Plus, it requires very little maintenance. It's resistant to scratches, and dents, and will not fade over the years. It's a less expensive and less maintenance heavy option. Laminated flooring is sturdy in low to moderate traffic areas and are resistance to scratches, dents and stains. This ease of maintenance and low cost makes laminated wood floors a terrific option.
An entry level laminated floor will take low to moderate traffic with no problem at all. If you have a high traffic area that you want a wood floor for, consider a thicker core. Laminate floors come with a core thickness of 6 mm to 12 mm. A thicker core will not swell due to excessive moisture, and will not buckle or bend out of shape when walked on. This resistance to moisture makes laminated floors perfect for areas like bathrooms and kitchens, where the potential for water damage is high.
A laminated floor is the right choice if you're looking for wood's desirable looks with the not-so-desirable price tag. Plus they're easy to clean and maintain, saving you more expenses in the long run.

While moving a piece of furniture, a sharp piece gouged across a few (5-6) of the hardwood floor boards. These need repaired or replaced, but need to match invisibly. Perhaps swap with boards from inside a closet? Boards are honey oak(?) each about 2.5" wide
