An unfinished hardwood floor is a great choice as you can add your own finishing touches to the raw product to create a truly unique floor. The benefits are:
• A solid unfinished hardwood floor allows for finishing touches to be added once it has been installed so it may be easier to match it to the interior.
• It can be found cheaper than a pre-finished floor but then you will have to remember that you need to add on costs for any stains, oils, lacquers and installation and finishing costs.
• A unique appearance can be achieved by choosing your own colour stains and type of finish (matt, satin or high gloss).
• Sometimes exotic species of wood and larger plank sizes may only be available in unfinished flooring.
