Pros:

• Ultimately are tiles, and therefore durable and can last for my years.
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
• Timber texture and print eliminates the usual sleek and clean look in glossy tiles. So any discolouration will not be OCD-level obvious and can be easily replaced even if it's manufactured later.

Cons:

• Dust that are collected in between grouting (gaps between tiles) may be too substantial to maintain if its used in a large area. These tiles are slimmer (to replicate timber strips), meaning there will be more of these gaps to take note of.
• Higher cost due to material and workmanship. Also depending on existing/ previous condition or flooring type may require hacking off of existing flooring.

Pros:

• Smooth and slightly glossy surface finish ensures look of authenticity.
• Some suppliers have matching timber skirting.
• There are new ranges of laminate flooringnow from Inovar flooring that have that groove line or gap on the long edge of each plank (not a sponsored post!) to create that even more authentic look.

Cons:

• Weak resistance to water, so any wet spots will need to be attended to ASAP.
• It's a solid material and will require underlay (battens or currently foam is more popular) to flatten the existing flooring below and absorb any unevenness. This will create hollowness which may be too loud for some home owners.
• Unless you are undergoing a major renovation and willing to hack off existing flooring and use cement to level off the floors prior to installation.

[Disclaimer] I have not personally used this in our projects, just based on advice and info from suppliers.

Pros:

• Many suppliers claim to have anti-termite quality due to the nature of the material.
• Stability in material means less shrinking and expansion due to weather (Malaysian weather + usage of AC).

Cons:

• Bamboo by right takes a lot shorter time than actually hard wood/ solid wood tree, thus more sustainable. This increases availability and by right should bring the price now. But because this is a relatively new range of flooring in Malaysia, pricing is comparable to laminate flooring.
• Cheaper supplier or range makes the material less resistant to scratches and dents.
• The micro-weave (vertical lines) and lack of color choices may create a challenge in matching design intentions.

Pros:

• Comes in many variety of color and texture which makes it easier to match design.
• Very cost efficient to install 2- 3mm thick vinyl flooring as it uses glue. The soft nature of the material means it will be able to overcome minor unevenness of the floor (without hacking), although it will also take the shape of the unevenness.
• Thinner vinyls (2- 3mm) can be installed below room doors. This is very useful for new properties (prevents us from hacking or chopping bottom of doors).
• Thicker vinyls (4mm and above) uses interlocking system without glue. They are more solid but does not enable herringbone lay that thinner ones (without interlocking profile) can do with.

Cons:

• Essentially it is made of rubber (although water and heat resistance), so it's one of the more fake timber out there. Some owners, especially older ones, may not be comfortable with this fact.
• Many of them, depending on the brand, have low heat resistance, so it will expand and shrink from the heat and AC. This causes bigger gaps between each plank and time wears one.
• As the timber texture is printed, it tends to fade in color with direct sunlight. Meaning areas near or next to windows and openings will see lighter shade over time.
