Factory Finish
Today’s wood manufacturers are employing all kinds of new  technology
to improve the factory finished floor. With controlled environments and
advanced polymers, only a factory finished floor can offer a fifteen to
twenty five year warranty on the floor’s finish, as well as its structural
integrity. With so many vendors to select from, the consumer is sure to
find the color and style floor they are looking for, direct from the factory.
Field Finish
Field finished floors start with wood planking that is unfinished. The
wood flooring is installed first, with staining taking place after the
floor is installed. This type of flooring is selected frequently when
there is an existing wood floor in the home that requires replacement,
or needs to be changed because of renovation work. The wood is sanded,
as well as stained inside the confines of your home. This normally does
not present a problem during renovation projects, but can make living
conditions difficult if done in a home that is occupied. The quality
of the work at completion is reliant on the experience of the technician
as well as the quality of the stain used. Warranty on this work is minimal,
usually one year.
