Basically, the wood floors we carry and install are defined as 3 types:
- Solid (unfinished & prefinished) nail-down only - use for above ground, or sub floors; requires correct expansion allowances between vertical walls
- Longstrip (pre-finished) float, and/or nail-down - used for all grade levels on wood subfloors and/or concrete slabs
- Engineered (pre-finished & unfinished) float, or nail-down - use for any grade level on wood sub-floors and/or concrete slabs
Unfinished wood floors (also finished at job-site) receive a smooth, sanded finish and custom colors. Usually 2-3 coats of finish are applied requiring several days.
Pre-finished wood floors (also known as factory finished) generally install in under a day and it's less messy compared to job-site finishes. You're limited to the manufacturer's colors, though
factory finishes are very wear-resistant having 7-10 coats of finish. Many manufacturers include aluminum oxide for extra durability.
Wood accents are inventoried to add unique accents and patterned floor designs. They're used mainly in dens, living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and great rooms. Engineered HardwoodPre-finished
floors, or engineered "hardwood" flooring, enable the home remodeler to install a wood floor in areas that would normally prohibit using solid hardwood flooring. Factory pre-finished floors provide
the same beauty and feel of natural, solid wood while at the same time offering an easy-care, functional flexibility and less-expensive option than solid wood can offer.
