If you choose to install solid wood floors in your home, the next step will be to decide between prefinished and unfinished floors.
Unfinished floors are stained and finished with polyurethane in your house after installation. Although this helps you fine-tune stain choices before you commit to a color, unfinished floors also require more time and labor.
Prefinished floors are sanded, stained and finished in the factory under controlled conditions before they are installed in your home. Once they’re installed, no further work is needed before you can reinstall furniture and begin to enjoy your room.
