    Here these are usually wood composite boards with a layer of veneer on top. Technically wooden floors, but not actually. Still a major step up from plastic floors.

      You’re talking engineered wood floors and the other guy is talking about luxury vinyl plank (LVP).

      Not a good option, especially for a rental. They bubble up when it gets wet. It’s better to install vinyl plank so it doesn’t get destroyed in a year.

          Why was this downvoted? I’m genuinely asking. If you manage to damage your rental apartment’s floor with moisture here you’re basically criminally negligent and fucked financially.

            You’ve never come in to a house with wet shoes or clothes? Or spilled a drink? There’s a ton of ways for the floor to get wet that isn’t “criminally negligent or fucked”.

              You leave wet shoes in the vestibule and dry the spilled drink with a towel or something. Even student houses use wooden laminate these days here, because no one is paying decent rent for an apartment with crack den floors.

      Chaulked right full of urea based glues though. If it’s new sleep with the windows open.
