solid / engineered wood flooring

Worth the cash?

£40-50 per m2. Typical room = £600-800.

In the past i have used laminate flooring under £10 /m2.

I was always unsure about sanding and staining the structural floorboards. Most likely pine floorboards, do they scrub up well? Is it colder?

How do you make a judgement on board width? I was previous gravitating towards narrower boards (100-125mm) but several styles are in 190-240mm wide boards, which feels quite wide to me? In previous houses I always went for 3 strip laminate to make the boards look narrower.
