With many pre finished options as well as traditional site finishing it can be a little overwhelming. We’re here to go through the details, pros and cons of the choices and why one may be better than the other for certain situations.
Reclaimed Rustic Oak Floor – Clear UV Finish
A properly maintained wood floor and its protective finish can last decades. It is for this reason that it is important to know what finish options are available and how your environment and lifestyle impact the life of the finished product. Todays finish technology has made it possible to enjoy the look and feel of a site finished floor directly from the manufacturer and as a result save time and money.

A floor you can live on
In the past a factory finished floor resulted in a thick high gloss finish that resembled a layer of thick plastic on top of the wood surface. As a result, the finish was next to impossible to repair and showed scratches, dents, and dings. Today’s available options provide a factory finished product that carries the same properties of traditional European finishes featuring easy maintenance and reparability as well as a much desired low sheen natural appearance.

It is unlikely that you will be in search of the perfect wood floor and not come across the term UV finish. This term is used when a factory applied finish has inhibitors that allow the finish to bond to the wood as it passes under a set of UV light. As a result, the finish is locked and cured instantly before it arrives at the job site. All that remains in the installation process and the floor is ready for immediate use.
Factory Pre Finished Wood Flooring
While there are several ways a floor can be finished, ultimately it is a choice that depends on your specific needs. Site finishing is a great choice when there is ample time and smell is not an issue. When time is more critical and disruption needs to be considered a pre finished floor only makes sense.
