Bellawood Flooring

Prefinished floors are finished before installation, while unfinished floors must be finished after installation. When we say that prefinished floors are finished before installation, we mean that they are sanded, stained, and coated with polyurethane in a factory.

Finished to Last It offers that low-gloss, oil-finished look without the need for constant re-oiling. Bellawood Matte is topped with a low-gloss version of Bellawood's industry-leading 100-year finish using a groundbreaking multi-layered, micro-particle process for superior wear and scratch resistance.

Because prefinished flooring is already coated in a factory setting, it doesn't require any extra effort to be sanded and finished on-site. Opting for prefinished wood flooring also means you get to avoid the dust, noise and smells that accompany the installation of unfinished flooring.

What Species Is Best? The best hardwood floors are made with wood species that are readily available and - you guessed it - very hard. Oak flooring, maple flooring and cherry flooring are all good choices. Other species include bamboo (which is actually a grass), walnut, ash and mahogany.

Prefinished flooring is factory-finished, and thus each board has been finished individually with sprayed-on coats of polyurethane. The boards are then oven baked with aluminum oxide to create an extremely hard acrylic finish.

Pre-finished flooring is solid hardwood flooring that comes already sanded, sealed, and ready to nail into place. After the flooring installers have completed their job, the only thing you need to do is sweep up, and you're ready to go.

Polyurethanes. The most popular surface finishes are oil-based and water-based polyurethanes. Water-based polyurethane, which can be applied relatively easily, dries quickly (12 hours), has low odor and low volatile organic compound (VOC) emission, and maintains a clear, smooth, shiny finish.

Matt Lacquer Solid Wood Flooring A matt finish gives a natural,elegant and less glossy coating to a solid wood floor. It looks more like an oil or wax finish, but is more scratch resistant. A matt lacquer finish is the most popular way to finish for solid wood flooring.

While you shouldn't mop with water, we do recommend polishing your floors with a wax-free solution from a leading brand, such as Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner. Avoid spraying the solution directly onto your floors. Instead, apply it to a mop head and gently polish the planks.

Lux Touch #1 Lux Touch A master craftsman hand crafts each tile. It is the most expensive flooring in the world, costing $1,000,000 per square foot.

However, the title of most expensive flooring in the world goes to Lux Touch tile. The handcrafted black marble tiles are encrusted with diamonds, abalone shell, mother-of-pearl, and black onyx.

Top Choice: Porcelain Tile A natural fit for high-traffic areas of the home, porcelain tile outperforms every other flooring material we test for resistance to scratching, and it resists dents from light objects like falling utensils very well, says Larry Ciufo, the CR engineer responsible for rating flooring.

Hardwood flooring is made of solid wood, and it's one of the most popular flooring options. It is usually made of hardwood species like maple, oak or walnut. And it has a significantly longer lifespan that allows for sanding and refinishing over and over.

Durable wear layer: The finish used on prefinished wood tends to be more durable than most types applied to a hardwood floor that's finished on-site. Manufacturers often apply UV-cured finishes to their floors, making the flooring exceptionally durable.
