       Unfinished hardwood floors, whether solid or engineered, must be job site finished. So, if you want a custom stained hardwood floor, or a wood floor to match the existing trim, then unfinished floor is your answer.
       Another advantage of the job-site finish is that the sanding process will smooth out the floor, if you are concerned with uneven heights between planks.
       We carry in stock all grades and sizes of unfinished wood flooring
        Strip flooring is linear flooring that is usually 1 1/2", 2 1/4", or 3 1/4" wide. Strip flooring comes in the following grades:
        »Clear Grade - Most uniform in color, longer, lengths, virtually no blemishes or knots.
        » Select & Better - Very uniform in color, longer lengths, virtually no blemishes or knots.
        » #1 Common - Board starting to show the natural character such as lighter and darker boards, shorter board average, pinholes and knots are present.
        » #2 Common - Boards show a lot of natural character such as light and dark boards, larger knots and checks allowed. Overall board lengths are shorter.
        » Shorts - Boards show a lot of natural character such as light and dark boards, lengths of boards are extremely short approx 16" average, knots and pinholes are quite evident.
       Plank hardwood flooring is also linear, but is wider the strip flooring. Common widths of plank flooring are 3", 4", 5", and 6"
       Parquet flooring is a series of wood flooring pieces that create a geometric design from 5/16" up to 3/4"

       These are a few of the wood species that we carry in stock every day. (please note that the actual color could be slightly different in the real product so please visit us and let our experienced staff to help you)
