When renovating your home, you will have to make several decisions that may require an expert’s opinion. As there are so many different styles to choose from and installation options, it can be overwhelming to figure out the right one. When choosing hardwood floors, you might have to decide between site-finished or pre-finished wood.
Depending on your vision for your floors, your choice may vary, but you are going to have a hard time making the right choice unless you work with an expert. Outlined below are a few differences between the two options so you can make a more informed decision.
Site-Finished
When looking at site-finished, you need to remember that it takes longer. You will have to vacate your home for the entire process, as the finishing will be done on the property. One of the great things about site-finished wood is that you have more control over the color and finish customization. People also noticed that there is a more solid appearance with fewer gaps between each board with the site-finished floor.
Site-finished wood can create a solid appearance.
Pre-Finished
A pre-finished wood floor is a convenient option for the money. The amount of time it takes to install is much less; however, you can’t customize the color as much as you would be able to with site-finished. You may also notice that with pre-finished wood, there are more gaps between the boards. However, you do know what you were buying when you get pre-finished wood, which can provide consistency.
Depending on your budget and needs, choosing site-finished or pre-finished wood may be an easier decision than you think. Contact a specialist today for a bit of help, and they will guide you in the right direction.
