✅ Choose Engineered Hardwood if:
You want authentic wood, elegance, and long-term value

✅ Choose Modern Vinyl if:
You need waterproof, scratch-resistant flooring for family or high-traffic areas
You want easy installation and low maintenance
You’re updating kitchens, basements, or light commercial spaces
