unfinished flooring offers you a range of options that are usually unavailable as prefinished floors.
Longer lengths, wider widths, exotic species. The world of prefinished products is aimed more at the mass market and comes with obvious benefits such as convenience through speed of installation, no sanding on site and a perfect factory finish.
So if you want a particular style of grain, such as a rift sawn Oak, or if you want a exotic species such as Brazilian Walnut or a custom Herringbone design then you are likely going to be buying the lumber unfinished, installing it and then finishing it on site for a truly spectacular look.
