TYPES OF HARDWOOD

When you're looking into installing a hardwood floor, you have a couple of options to choose from when it comes to the finish of the wood.

Prefinished hardwood flooring is already sanded and sealed when it comes from the factory. It is a type of wood floor that has been finished before it is installed. This type of flooring is installed more easily and quickly than unfinished wood floors. This makes for a quick installation process with no staining or varnishing. Also, the floor will be ready to walk on as soon as it’s put down. It’s usually a bit cheaper than unfinished when you compare the two. It is also more affordable and can be refinished without having to remove it for sanding and refinishing.

Unfinished requires multiple coats of protective varnish that have to dry over a period of time. However, it’s the best option if you’re trying to match a specific color in another area of the commercial or residential space. Unfinished hardwoods come in many different colors and styles which makes them perfect for any home design style or preference. You have more options for customizing your solid hardwood floors if you choose to go the unfinished route.

There are several installation methods for installing hardwood flooring.  Some of the most common ones include floating flooring and gluing down.  Floating flooring is the fastest and easiest way to install hardwood floors. Floating is the most popular installation method for new projects. It is also the easiest to lay a pattern without any seams or gaps in the wood. The planks are held together either by their shape or some adhesive. 

The second installation method involves the new wood flooring being glued directly to the subfloor with a strong adhesive. Glue down installations can be done by anyone but they take more time because you have to wait for the glue to dry between each step of installation. This installation method is better for high traffic areas as the result is a more stable flooring.
