The elegant look of a hardwood floor can add warmth and character to any room. In fact, the natural characteristics of wood add depth and a visual appearance that many other types of floors try to duplicate.
Rich, inviting hardwood floors are not only beautiful to live with, they can also add value to your home at resale time.
Why pre-finished wood?
Pre-finished hardwood comes ready for installation in your home.
The hardwood boards have already been sanded, stained and finished at the manufacturing plant. In many cases this can provide a harder, better-protected surface.
Pre-finished floors offer a wider variety of wood species and save hours of labor and cleanup. You get an extended factory finish warranty with pre-finished and engineered hardwood floors, but not with most job-site finishes.
Why engineered wood?
Engineered hardwood is one of the three common types of wood floors. (Others are Solid and Long strip Plank.) Engineered wood floors are generally manufactured with 2,3, or 5 thin sheets or plies of wood that are laminated together to form one plank. Most engineered floors can be nailed down, stapled down, glued down, or floated over a wide variety of sub floors, including some types of existing flooring.
