Posted on September 20, 2021 by fivestarwood

Installing wooden floors in Seattle has become popular, with an increasing number of homeowners opting for hardwood floors for their homes. Some people prefer this kind of flooring as it’s easier to clean and keep up with, while others are smitten with the timeless appeal and elegance of wood. These are some of the reasons why the volume of hardwood flooring sold in the US amounted to 1.53 billion square feet in 2020, and the American wood flooring market size is valued at 4.6 billion dollars and is expected to grow at a rate of 1.5% yearly.

Why Choose Prefinished Hardwood Floors?

One of the initial steps to buying hardwood floors is deciding whether you need to go for unfinished or prefinished wood. While unfinished wood flooring has been a popular choice for years, the benefits and advantages of prefinished hardwood flooring frequently override the other options available in the market.

If you’re planning to install hardwood flooring at your home, here’s why you should consider prefinished floors.

Easy to Install

The installation process for prefinished hardwood flooring is comparatively quick and trouble-free for you than the unfinished ones. There are no finishing touches or sanding required on the site, therefore eliminating the poisonous smell, commotion, and mess it brings along.

Durable

Prefinished wooden floors are highly durable as they have been coated multiple times with strengtheners using the latest UV-curing technology and other modern methods. The advanced strengtheners used to layer these prefinished floors require industrial drying, which is only available in factory plants and cannot be emulated on site. The finish applied to the wooden floors is resistant to all sorts of wear and tear and scratches, making them last for years.

Non-toxic

Floor installation can be a hassle due to the unpleasant and pungent smell of chemicals used during installation that is often very harmful. If not poisonous, the toxic smell can be dangerous for you and trigger your allergies. Prefinished floors require no such chemical use during their installation, making it an ideal choice for households with children, people with allergies, and pets.
