Prefinished hardwood is finished in the factory and needs no further treatment in the home. Since factory sealers are typically more powerful than those available to on-site installers, finish warranties are often longer. Floors have a beveled, rather than a flush, look. Numerous wood species, stains, and textures are available as well as finishes that range from matte to glossy. Prefinished wood flooring is installed by nailing it to a wood subfloor.
Engineered wood is a multi-ply flooring that, unlike solid wood, is appropriate for moisture-prone spaces like bathrooms and basements. It is less likely to contract and expand with temperature and humidity fluctuations. The flooring is composed of a layered wood core and a top hardwood layer. Wood strips or planks are usually connected to form a floor that floats above the subfloor. The highest quality brands last a lifetime with proper maintenance and care.
