Prefinished floors are great choice in this home remodel
- Posted by
A customer of ours, Shelly, sent along these photos of her recently installed Prefinished Eastern White Pine floor. Her floors were also done in our hit-or-miss style. Prefinished floors are a great option for families who don’t want or can’t take the time to store the boards upon arrival and to go through the staining process. For a long time, Carlisle did not offer prefinished floors because we wanted to do it right. We wanted to be sure we could deliver the traditional look for which we had become known, and we wanted to make sure we could do it in an environmentally responsible way.
Prefinished floors are done with Carlisle’s Custom Coat stains and topcoats and these are different than any others you’ll find on the market. They are different in the way they were formulated and the are different in how they are applied. First off, we put the stains onto the BOTTOM of the boards as well—the part that isn’t going to show once you install it. This helps eliminate any moisture problems and is one of the things that makes us unique. We use the stain to seal the board up tight. Our stains also have an additive that inhibits the growth of mold and mildew.
Our stains and topcoats contain no VOCs—that’s Volatile Organic Compounds—which can escape into the air and cause health problems.
The hit-or-miss style is one of the handmade surfaces we offer to give your floor a bit more personality.
As with our unfinished floors, we can create virtually any look and style you want to build the floor of your dreams.
