Prefinished
Hardwood vs. Unfinished Hardwood
There
are quite a few things to consider before choosing between prefinished
hardwood and unfinished hardwood.
With
the many new advances in prefinished hardwood. The quality is
amazing and can some times be better than unfinished hardwood.
Prefinished hardwood is simple for the do-it-yourselfer to accomplish
on their own.
Prefinished
hardwood is a better choice if you are redoing a room in an existing
living space. Also if you are putting it in numerous rooms in
your home, prefinished is a better choice, because of the mess,
smell and time the room can be reinhabitated. You just lay the
prefinished and you are ready to put furniture back in and live.
Unfinished
hardwood is best in a house that is being built. Because once
you lay the wood you have to sand it and clean it (and get all
the dust up). Then apply the stain. Depending on how many coats
that you desire, it could be days even weeks before the space
is usable. It really does produce a nice product when you are
done, but getting there is a time consuming. The difference between
the final product of prefinished and unfinished is almost nil
now a days with the advancements is prefinished hardwood flooring.
Unfinished hardwood is much more difficult for a novice to install.
I have seen too many people screw up in the last stage and have
to start the sanding process over. What a pain!
I
would really suggest finding a prefinished flooring that you like.
It is easier, cleaner, less smelly, quicker, less noisy, and just
as nice. There are so many options that it will be difficult to
not find what you want.
