Prefinished Hardwood Floors
The
hardwood flooring industry has undergone great change in the past 50+ years,
starting with the manufacturing of prefinished wood floors in the 1950's.A
large part of the change has been in the continued strong growth in
prefinished (factory finished) engineered flooring. Through a combination of
technological and marketing wizardry, prefinished wood floors have continued
to grow, increasing over 10% from last year.
Oak is the most common, with
maple, ash,
and other imported exotics further down the list. This product,
solid and
engineered is factory sanded, stained and finished make for easier install &
less down time, not to mention no on site
sanding, and finishing. Remodeling contractors like prefinished wood
floor products and are great for add-on projects. See
Choosing A Wood Floor 
With today's technology,
manufacturers produce a wide variety of products; many stain colors,
finishes,
wood species (domestic
or imported exotics), and
sizes. Of the five types of hardwood flooring prefinished engineered is by
far gaining much popularity. The jobsite disruption is less, and ease of
installation has made this the choice of many contractors and homeowners
alike. With prefinished engineered floors having thicker wear layers (top
layer of wood), many products can be sand 2 or three times after
installation and use. Whether it's to change the color, make repairs or to
refinish because of worn through traffic areas, prefinished engineered wood
floors are growing in popularity. Many more
wood flooring manufacturers who before did not have this product line,
now finds it is a growing segment of the wood flooring industry that must be
reckoned with. Many manufacturers apply multiple coats of tough urethane, UV
cured finishes, and aluminum oxide finishes, making this a durable and
lasting product. With
proper maintenance
( Light sanding & apply additional coats of finish on
a timely bases and good cleaning habits) these products boast 10,15 & 20
year warranties.
