Unfinished Hardwood Flooring

Unfinished hardwood refers to the manner in which you purchase the product, which is of course – unfinished. This is the way that the originally wood floors were done. The rough wood is bought and nailed down to the sub floor, which is then sanded, sealed, stained and then finished. The hardwood is available in MANY different sizes and thicknesses. The widths range anywhere from 1½ to anything above. We usually recommend that you remain within 2 ¼”- 3¼ (remember the movement due to moisture?). Unfinished hardwood is very much in use today.

Prefinished Hardwood Flooring

The pre-finished hardwood comes in strips that are already sanded, stained and covered with several coats of polyurethane that are applied in the factory. A great variety of species, grades, colors, finishes and strip widths are offered. Quick and easy to install, without the dust and odors associated with unfinished hardwood. Right now, most of the industry is gearing towards the pre finished. With the new Aluminum-Oxide finishes, and the controls that the factories have, you will never be able to match.
