Hardwood is the perfect flooring
Nothing says "elegance" like hardwood floors, mainly when using deep, warm stain colors. Regardless of your existing decor, these floors meld seamlessly, bringing even more beauty to your home. Furthermore, they’re functional elegance that performs as well as it looks.
Contrary to popular belief, these floors are much easier to clean than you might expect. Your flooring specialist can explain all the details and even offer our professional floor cleaning services. We can also tell you precisely what to do in case of a stain "emergency" to keep your floors looking great for years.
One of the things that truly makes this product unique is that it's a type of long-term investment. Its lifespan, which could easily surpass 100 years, means you'll save money over time. Instead of replacing your floors, you will only need to refinish them. With luck, you'll one day be able to pass your home along to a child or grandchild, turning your floors into an heirloom.
Even if you decide to sell your home, hardwood flooring will bring a greater return on your investment. A prospective home buyer is almost always willing to pay more for these floors, primarily if they have been inadequately maintained. Wood floors have never gone out of style, and we expect they never will.

Do you need finished or unfinished hardwood flooring?
Not long ago, unfinished hardwood flooring was in vogue, but that is no longer true. With unfinished hardwood flooring, installers would put down the floor and then go through the process of staining and polishing the boards. Today, consumers can skip the finishing process if they wish, but not everyone wants to. So, how do you choose from finished or unfinished hardwood flooring? Here are some tips from Prattville Flooring Inc.
What is unfinished hardwood flooring?
Unfinished hardwood flooring consists of quality milled hardwood planking that does not have any staining or coloring added to it at all. It is bare, natural wood, sanded and smooth, but without any stain or varnish added to its surface. Generally, consumers will not want to leave the flooring unfinished and will hire professionals to stain, sand, and seal the bare wood to give it a finished look.
The main reason consumers choose unfinished hardwood flooring is that it allows them to stain it to their exact coloring desires. Custom pigments can create unique color tones that may not be available in finished hardwood products.
Consumers should understand that turning an unfinished hardwood floor into a finished hardwood floor requires much work and skill. Generally, several applications of the stain and varnish will be needed, with careful sanding of the floor in between. The entire process can take a few days, depending on how fast the stain dries.

What is unfinished hardwood flooring?
Finished hardwood flooring is installed just as it comes from the manufacturer. The finish is applied at the factory under carefully monitored processes. Finished hardwood flooring is the most popular type in America, and the quality of products from name-brand manufacturers is very high.
Finished hardwood flooring comes in various color tones, species, and length and width dimensions. Because the finish is already applied, consumers save money, and they know exactly what they are getting at the time of purchase.
Finished hardwood is durable and easy to maintain, which is not necessarily the case with unfinished hardwood, and it requires periodic re-staining. If you want to learn more about hardwood flooring, call or visit us at Prattville Flooring Inc. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
