what is the difference of wooden laminated and wood parquet?
and what is the best of this two for bedroom flooring? tnx

Laminate is high density fiberboard with a tough melamine coating for scratch resistance. The planks are around 8 inches wide and 3 feet long and are made to interlock with each other. They are easy to install, even for amateurs, and are laid over foam. They are meant to float on the floor, so they are not glued to the floor.

Wood parquet is made of smaller pieces of natural wood and laid on a checkerboard or herringbone pattern. Parquet is best laid by professionals. The parquet is glued to the subfloor, and since the wood is irregular in thickness, the parquet is sanded to a uniform finish. After sanding, the parquet is given either a wax finish or polyurethane finish.

If the wood used for the parquet is not well seasoned, as the wood dries out, gaps will appear between the parquet pieces, which will attract dust and make cleaning difficult. On the other hand, the laminate flooring has tight joints and movement will only be on the edges, which is covered by the baseboard.

What about Pergo? Has anyone installed one on their homes?

Pergo is one of the pioneers of laminate flooring systems. They are the best IMHO. However the price is very unfriendly.

Is laminate OK for an office? How would it look in say 5, 10, 20 years? Would it still look fairly decent, or would there be dents, dimples, delaminations, discolorations, and whatnot all over the place so as to look crappy enough that you would regret ever using it and would feel compelled to replace it?

I assume that tile would the best in terms of durability, but it looks cold and hard, so was thinking maybe laminate.

The joining is the weakest part - you need a very proficient installer - not these guys who charge 80 peso/m2.
Proper professionals.

We have used Eurotex bought in Binondo - about 800/box - well under 400 per m2.
If fitted tightly and pegged properly on the edge to stop slippage/drift - it will last. You also need a good water repelling glue for the joining - this will help to stop water (spills, etc.) from getting under the veneer and causing discolouration on the edges.

Even Pergo installed badly will be vulnerable to damage.

Laminate wood flooring are the great thing to select even for office. Laminate wood flooring is eco-friendly as it makes utilize of more fiber substance than wood. Laminate wood flooring is a multipurpose flooring product and can be mounted anywhere. It is very easy to clean the laminate wood flooring. Merely dust with a dry swab, wipe with a clammy cloth or mop, and/or vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
