PREFINISHED
WOOD FLOORING
- Solid 3/4" prefinished is available in most of the same sizes as the
unfinished flooring. Some mills offer square edges and ends, however, most are
manufactured with beveled edges. It is always nailed down on a wooden subfloor and not
used below grade.
- Engineered wood flooring is available in 3- and 5-ply. It
consists of layers of wood pressed and glued together with the layers running in different
directions to create more stability. Most products can be either nailed or glued down.
- Floating installations available in some products (excellent for
installation over level concrete, plywood and some existing floor coverings - even below
grade).
- Eliminates the dust and noise factors involved in the job-site finishing
process, however, finish and stain options are more limited. Product lines could be
discontinued making it impossible to match should you wish to add more area at a future
time.
- Faster completion and use of floor ( you don't need to wait for the
finish to dry before walking on the floor)
