Prefinished Hardwood Flooring for Effortless Beauty
A look at the advantages of choosing prefinished hardwood flooring. Discover the wide variety of finishes and textures available at LL Flooring.
When choosing your home's flooring, the type of flooring is only your first decision—you also will want to choose your floor's finish. The finish is the top layer of your flooring and is usually devoted to the appearance and protection of your flooring. Popular finishes include matte, low-gloss, and medium-gloss looks, designed to coordinate with various styles and support different traffic levels. And some other options include added texture—including wire brushing to pull out the soft grain of the wood. We can help you sort through the options and styles to find the best flooring for your space. In just a few simple steps, you can use our Picture It! Floor Visualizer to see a digital rendering of any flooring choice in your home.
While staining and finishing a new floor can be a satisfying project for some homeowners, choosing to go with prefinished hardwood flooring allows for more resilience and a better quality finish than an site-finished floor.
What Is Prefinished Hardwood Flooring?
A key benefit of going with prefinished wood flooring is that professionals do the work; all you need to do is choose the design you prefer. You'll get a high-quality finish that will protect the wood while adding richness and color.
LL Flooring offers an array of prefinished flooring options featuring various colors and textures. Finishes can include:
- Matte: A matte finish gives a more natural, trend-forward look, accentuating color and grain and minimizing shine. It also hides scratches more easily, making it a good choice for high-traffic areas.
- Low-gloss: As a casual European style, a low-gloss finish offers a clean appearance for a more relaxed flair than higher-gloss options.
- Medium-gloss: A medium-gloss finish works well with many woods and colors, lending a modest sheen and low luster, highlighting hardwood's natural beauty.
A Touch of Texture
Prefinished solid and engineered hardwoods can also feature a selection of textures, which include:
- Smooth: Highlighting the coloring of the wood and bringing a certain luxuriousness to the home for a classic, refined charm.
- Distressed: Hand-scraping, saw marks, and chatter marks add character and more rustic allure for rugged appeal. Texturing, such as wire brushing, lifts and removes softer grains, emphasizing intricate lines and patterns.
No matter what style you prefer, you'll feel good knowing LL Flooring also meticulously tests your prefinished floors to help ensure superior quality and long-lasting performance.
