Choosing the right flooring is always a tough decision as it makes a huge impact in beautifying the look and overall value of an interior whether it’s for residential or commercial. While most people would still prefer prefinished flooring for its ease of installation, unfinished hardwood floors are now quite becoming more in demand due to number of reasons.

Unfinished floorings are generally solid wood plank that needs sanding and buffing on site after the installation is complete. Though it requires more time and work to install unfinished wood floors, many people especially the DIY (do-it-yourself) lovers still prefers it because they get a chance to customize the look of the floor or stain it to match existing floors. Unfinished flooring offers diverse options when it comes to stain colours and depth of hue. You can have it from light to dark colours or matte to high gloss whichever match the design and style of the interior.

There are low or No VOC lacquers available if you are worried about the smell when you polish your unfinished flooring. When it comes to sanding which is probably the most challenging stage, dustless floor sanding is also now possible to free yourself from cleaning the mess of sand dust all over the place and there’s no need for you to evacuate or wrap everything from the room.

For larger commercial areas with high traffic, unfinished flooring is proven to be an advantage because scratches, scrapes and spots caused by stilettos can be easily fixed by quick sanding and finish. To improve the indoor-air quality, solid wood floors from renewable resources with green label certificates are now available which are more affordable and durable but doesn’t contain allergens, formaldehyde, VOC and 100% recyclable.

Unfinished flooring gives a natural and classic beauty to any room when installed properly. Though the installation could be a little bit exasperating, unfinished floors are great investment that will surely last for generations.
