| subfloor where the hardwood will be attached to the subfloor. It comes unfinished or prefinished. |

Prefinished Wood |
| |
Flooring Pre-finished wood flooring is hardwood flooring sanded and finished at the mill. Finishes are |
| |
applied in controlled, dust-free environments. High-tech processes insure beautiful durable finishes. |

Unfinished Wood Flooring |
| |
Unfinished flooring provides you with more stain color and finish options, especially if you want |
| |
to match existing color schemes or furniture. |
| |
Engineered flooring is produced by adhering layers of real hardwood with a plywood backing or |
| Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF). The bonding process makes this type of flooring less likely to be |
| affected by changes in humidity. Engineered wood flooring make an excellent choice over concrete |
| sub-floors, radiant heat or areas with higher moistures. Most engineered floors can be refinished |
| depending on the thickness of the veneer (top wear layer), and the skill of the craftsmen. |
| |
LAMINATE FLOORING is a photographed image of finished hardwood and can not be refinished. |
| It is a multi-layered product developed to perform as a highly durable, easy-to-clean-floor and comes |
| prefinished. Laminate flooring often comes in three different forms; strips, planks, or squares. They are |
| extremely durable and highly resistant to scratches. Although not waterproof, laminate floors are more |
| resistant to water damage than traditional wood floors. Most manufacturers guarantee the surface will |
| not fade or wear through. The high-tech surface of a laminate floor is designed to be cleaned by |
| vacuuming and occasional damp mopping. |
