 A job
site finish is one that is applied at the place of the installation. There are several
different types of finishes available and, when you choose a job-site finish, they are
probably all available to you. |

CHOOSING THE FINISH:
Most (but not all) solid wood flooring products are unfinished, and some
laminated/engineered products are available unfinished. Choosing the type of finish to be
applied to your floor on-site gives you the choice of what type of shine you prefer, as
well as the effect the color of the product will have on your floor. |

STAINS:
A wide
range of stains are available for use on a floor that will be finished on-site, giving you
unlimited possibilities for customizing your floor's color. However, sanding and finishing
on-site does create dust and noise from the equipment, and there is a dry time during
which you will be unable to use that particular room. |
A prefinished is one on
which the finish is applied at the factory. Most (but not all) laminated products are
prefinished, and some solid products are available prefinished. Several finish options are
available in prefinished products, including ultraviolet cured urethane, water-based
urethane, moisture-cured urethane and seal and wax. |
