Unfinished vs. Pre-finished
Unfinished hardwood flooring usually requires sanding, staining and adding the finishing touches. Unfinished flooring has some advantages over prefinished woods. First, the unfinished wood can be matched to existing flooring or any other interior components in the house as it offers limitless design opportunities of medallions, borders, feature stripes, inlays and patterns. Second, it can be custom color stained and E_M Custom Flooring & Installations can easily create customized blends on the floor. Another advantage to unfinished hardwood flooring is that it comes in various plank widths and exotic wood species.
Are you looking to create a greater sense of openness and sophistication in your space? Wide planks (5” and wider) mean fewer seams between boards. Plank flooring gives a more open feel to a room, whereas, strip flooring usually gives the room a traditional or formal look.
The most common species of hardwoods are Red and White Oak, Maple, Birch, Pine, Cherry and Walnut. So, whether you’re looking for traditional oak, country side pine, outlandish wenge or trendy bamboo, at E_M Custom Flooring & Installations you’re sure to find a color and style to fit your décor. We will help you choose the right hardwood floor for your décor and busy lifestyle.
