Hardwood:
Q: What are the differences between Pre-Finished vs. Unfinished Wood Flooring and which is best for me?
A: The best place to start would be to define what it means for a hardwood flooring product to be prefinished or unfinished. Prefinished flooring, also known as factory finished, is wood flooring that is already sanded, stained and completely finished during the manufacturing stage at the factory in a controlled environment. Unfinished flooring, also known as site-finished, is flooring that is sanded, stained and finished on site at installation. There are advantages to both types of flooring, but the ultimate decision really depends on your specific taste, the environment in which the floor would be installed, your budget, and the time frame you have for the project to be completed. Our sales staff can go over all the details of your flooring needs and help you make the best informed decision on which type to choose for your project.
