Love Wood Floors

Pick the right wood floor and it can be with you for the rest of your life. That being said make sure you love the floor you buy. Wood floors can come pre stained and treated or raw and without finish. It really does not matter so much what option you chose. If you go pre finished, you get a good floor with an aluminum oxide finish. And, it will install in at a rate of about 400 square feet a day. If you get a product that requires a sanding, a stain, and a finish, you're looking at about a week or so installation time. Obviously those numbers are all correlated to size of the job, so keep in mind the amount of flooring will determine the length of the project. Most people choose pre finished floors strictly because the ease of installation, and because a pre finished floor wont need to be sanded. However, if you do chose to have your floors finished in place after installation, you will have a beautiful solid piece of flooring with a finish that goes wall to wall with no bevels to catch dust. Either way you go you win with hard wood floors.
