Is it a good idea to use 3/8'; thick hardword floor in kitchen, half bath and laundary room?

The commonly used hardwood is 3/4'; thick but will 3/8'; work as well? I want to renovate my kitchen floor but do want the kitchen floor to be almost one inch higher than the family room floor which has carpet in it now. Any suggestions?Is it a good idea to use 3/8'; thick hardword floor in kitchen, half bath and laundary room?
The thickness is of less consequence as it the core of the 3/8'; floor. Is this most likely not a solid hardwood floor and instead an engineered hardwood floor which is composed of a plywood like substrate or core and a veneered prefinished top layer. There are several thicknesses in engineered flooring systems and I'm sure one of them will work well with your height requirements. Keep in mind the change in heights of your appliances with your flooring choice as some height variations might interfere with the cabinets and counter top heights.Is it a good idea to use 3/8'; thick hardword floor in kitchen, half bath and laundary room?
I'm not an expert, but I would imagine that 3/8'; would be much more suseptible to warping given the high likelihood of spills in the three mentioned areas. Besides, with a reducer, you won't even notice the hight difference. Especially if transitioning to carpet.
