Prefinished vs. On-site finishing
 
 
     This is a battle that has been occurring for over 20 years.  Each process for finishing wood has it's pros and cons.  Here's a list illustrating the differences:

-usually tough finish

-can have lower cost

 

Cons:

-shiny finishes

-beveled top on the boards

-small widths and lengths

-looks store bought

-limited colours

-limited species

 

On-site finishing

 

Pros:

 -can have low sheen finishes

-no micro bevels

-long and wide boards

-real or authentic appearance

-custom staining

-many species to choose from

-textured tops

 

Cons:

 -longer installation

-can have higher cost

   -more clean up

       Revival Flooring has taken the on-site finishing route.  With on-site finishing, we are able to have more control over the appearance desired by the client.  We are able to control the specie, colour, sheen level, finishing style, and board sizing.  With control over these variables, the possibilities are endless and we are able to create floors specific to our clients needs and wants.  Please contact us with questions you have.
