early every year, it seems customers are asking for just a little bit more prefinished wood flooring rather than unfinished, according to Hardwood Floors’ annual State of the Industry report published in our April/May issue. How long this will go on remains to be seen, but the importance of prefinished within the industry is indisputible. This is why, once again, we’ve assembled our annual Prefinished Wood Flooring Product Focus.
