UNFINISHED HARDWOOD FLOORING
The natural beauty of hardwood floors – untouched. Solid hardwoods are extremely durable, more so than softwoods, and unfinished hardwood flooring can be stained and refinished over and over again giving you the opportunity to change the look of your floor without having to pull up and re-install new flooring. There really is nothing like solid, unfinished hardwood flooring to lend your décor warmth and beauty.
PREFINISHED HARDWOOD FLOORING
Hardwood flooring with a factory-applied finish can perform better over time. To produce the highest quality hardwood flooring, stains and finish coatings are applied and dried in a factory-controlled environment eliminating the need for sanding, staining and applying protective coatings after the boards are installed. These floors have superior scratch and stain resistance qualities.
ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORING
Engineered wood floors offer more resistance to slightly lower and higher moisture levels than solid wood flooring. This adds to their appeal for use in basements or in regions of the country that have higher or lower than normal relative humidity levels. This option can be directly glued-down over (dry) concrete slabs above or below grade or stapled down over a wood subfloor.
