I'll never go back to carpeting due to allergies, pet hair & dirt - just can't get it clean no matter how good your vacuum is.

They have various textures or smooth, and we heat with a wood stove only and don't have any problem with coldness.
When our Lam was new if we wore new socks then it was a little bit slippery, but real wood would be the same at first I think. The fresh polished finishes, etc..
Same with loudness not really a factor.

If you have drafts or doors that are leaky then you might notice a cooler area by the door.

Laminate floors float on a padded plastic pad , some brands have a felt type layer with plastic liner.{insulating}


*but if I already had real wood flooring that was in decent shape I would go with that and just clean it up or refinish it.*

my sis has real wood flooring and even a small dent or little scrape just adds character to it.

But it's really just what you prefer, they all have some pluses & minuses.
