Default engineered or solid wood flooring

Hi,
Has anyone here have experiences with solid and engineered flooring?
I'm curious which is warmer to the feet during canadian winter?
I have a laminate on my floor right now and its freezing cold to the
feet I want to put my carpet back on.

I think the solid feels warmer but that it's a mind thing. I'm one of
those people that likes real wood flooring so much that it feels warmer.

They can both be cold. In my house, I have some engineered wood over
concrete slab and it does feel cold. I have some laminate over top of a
sub-floor and it is not quite as cold.

IMO, nothing beats real hardwood. Put a rug in front of the sofa and chairs
to keep your feet warmer.

you can repair scratches yourself if you go with the real hardwood. in
the process of having a room redone. will use bona mega water base. that
way the floor will not get the yellow tint later. easy to repair scratches.
