Unfinished solid hardwood offers unlimited versatility by allowing you to customize your floor. When you select unfinished solid hardwood, you can stain and seal your floors to match the colors and finishes of your choosing.
The product can be installed at ground level or above – it is not suitable for basement levels. Unfinished solid hardwood can be installed a variety of ways, including gluing, nailing, or stapling. Solid hardwood is perfect for sanding and re-finished floors multiple times as the years pass.
Solid hardwood grading systems include Select, #1 Common, and #2 common. Select grade is mostly free of imperfections such as knots and mineral streaks. #1 Common has a few more knots, graining, and color variation. Lastly, #2 Common tends to have a lot more character – knots, open knots, graining, color variation, and a higher percentage of shorter planks in bundles. Regardless of grading, custom stains and finishes help you achieve the perfect look.
Other benefits of solid hardwood include:
- Quality of material
- Longevity
- Ability to be refinished and sanded over time
- Use as transitional materials
