This type of flooring, often available at large home improvement retailers, consists of planks or boards made from various wood species that have not been pre-stained or sealed. For example, oak, maple, and hickory are common wood types offered in an unfinished state, ready for customization.
The value of this product lies in its adaptability and cost-effectiveness. Owners can select their preferred stain color and sealant, resulting in a uniquely personalized aesthetic. Historically, unfinished materials allowed for on-site adaptation to specific environments, a practice still valuable in achieving optimal performance in diverse conditions.
