When you are renovating or building a home, one of the most important decisions you are likely to make include which flooring you want to use throughout the space. Hardwood floors are a classic decision to have in your space and can offer you more bang for your buck than other types of flooring. But, deciding on hardwood floors is just the first step. You will still need to decide between prefinished and unfinished as well as which specific finish and material you want.

 

Why Prefinished?

Prefinished hardwood floors can offer you many benefits over unfinished hardwood including saving time and money as well as having a better idea of what the floors will look like before you put them in the home. Prefinished hardwood is cut and finished in the factory in a variety of styles and colors. Your contractor can then help you choose between the different samples, order enough for your space and put it down. Many times, you can even find prefinished flooring options in easy-to-install styles to help get it in easier. With prefinished flooring, you can use the floor as soon as it is in versus waiting for each task in finishing is completely dry before being able to walk on it.

 

Which Prefinished?

Choosing between different types of prefinished hardwood for your floors can be easier than you think. Your contractor or flooring store can help you go over your options for the most durable finish and the one which best fits your aesthetics.

 

Hardwood floors can add a traditional touch to your home which is as durable as it is beautiful. You can choose many different types of wood for your flooring but getting a prefinished type can save you time and money in the long run. This is because you will not have to wait for the floor to cure and for each layer of the finishing process to be done before you can use the floor. You can still choose from the type of finish you like, just have a finished floor faster.
