Unfinished and Pre-finished Hardwood Floors: Two Choices in Solid Wood

When discussing about solid hardwood floors we must keep in mind that they allow for a lot of variation in terms of what you can get as a solution for your space. Which choice suits your area?

Pre-finished hardwood is an excellent choice for those who wish to install their hardwood floor without sanding or finishing. Minimum fuss and easy installation! Pre-finished hardwood floors are ideal for the do-it-yourselfers.

An important aspect of unfinished hardwood floors lies in the uniformity of the finish. Pre-finished floors are on a board by board basis, and the finish which seals the board does not seal the minute spaces between individual hardwood planks in the same way. When talking about an unfinished floor, the finish is added over the surface of a hardwood floor after the boards have been installed. This gives a generally more uniform finish. Unfinished hardwood floors are installed for these reasons.

Pre-finished hardwood flooring is an excellent choice for homeowners who does not want to vacate your house and would like to do an installation quickly. You will not have to deal with the fumes of the finish, or the mess left after the process of sanding. An unfinished floor may allow subcontractors to deliver a more uniform finish on the whole floor, along with the added moisture protection provided.
