Site Finished or Pre-Finished Hardwood Flooring

Installation
As most of us know, there are hundreds of hardwood flooring options on the market. Different species, colors, hardness levels, finishes, and much more combine to create the ideal look no matter what your design choices are. Both these options are great choices! You just have to check out your options and choose what works best for you personally.

Among the biggest reasons homeowners choose pre-finished flooring is because it requires a while to install. Each one of the processing and treating is accomplished by producer. All the installer must do is nail or glue it down. This cuts down on installation time as well as prices.

When floor is finished onsite, the unfinished planks have to be installed, sanded, then completed. After the final coat of finish is used, the floor cannot be walked on until it's totally dry. Some homeowners see this as an annoyance, but many think it's well worth the wait!

End

When hardwood is pre-finished at a mill, it's coated with several coats of aluminum oxide. This coat is powerful and tough. Site finished flooring will give you a level, smooth finish since the planks are laid down before finish is applied. With pre-finished planks, the lines where planks combine will be defined. It's important to keep in mind that the caliber of the wood is what determines the depths of the colors and the grain patterns in your flooring, not always the finish.
