The finishing processes like buffering and coating the hardwood after the installation process is over need to be manually handled by you. This is the only reason why unfinished hard wood flooring stands at a distinct disadvantage. The advantages of having an unfinished hardwood floor installed are its resale value and also the fact that your choice of colors for the flooring can be taken into consideration, before the wood is processed and finished.

Prefinished hardwood floors are the most popular and most used type of hardwood flooring. Easily available and more easily installed, the only thing that needs to be done is fit in each prefinished wood panel. The pre-finished floors are available in a large variety of wood types and their installation and maintenance is easy and less expensive than the unfinished hardwood flooring. Prefinished hardwood flooring is actually factory finished, which cuts down on installation hassles.
