It was a common misconception a few decades back that if your home was constructed with concrete as a base, you wouldn’t be able to opt for hardwood installation. However, this is assuredly not true, as people who had homes on concrete could not only install hardwood flooring, but also choose good quality of wood that accentuated the beauty and charm of their houses.
Why we chose prefinished flooring?
This property at Highland Park was in need of a complete floor replacement as there were too many weakened spots for repair. We decided to opt for a prefinished hardwood flooring install since it comes with a factory-applied finish and the installation process is much quicker and simpler. It also has better longevity and can maintain its appearance well over time. We chose a highly durable finish that had been cured of urethane, so the wood retained its hues and color.
Why is it so convenient?
Yet another reason for installing hardwood floors on concrete that were prefinished is due to the face that the owners wanted the floors ready to be used within the shortest time possible. And these types of floors can be walked upon right after installation as there is no drying or curing time involved, as in the case of unfinished floors. Homeowners are frequently opting to install hardwood flooring in a prefinished state because they don’t have to undertake the hassle of relocating their family, which could be a huge problem if they have kids, pets, or elderly people to take care of.
Absolutely safe and reusable
The best part is there are no fumes, dust, or odor emitted from sanding, so if someone in your family is sensitive to these, they can are 100% safe while the hardwood installation process is going in. If you want to get the flooring sanded and refinished in a few years, you can easily do so, because these types of flooring come with a warranty against defects, and due to their longevity, as mentioned before, they can be sanded and refinished several times without affecting the quality.
Prefinished hardwood flooring is an extremely smart and practical choice these days.
