Choosing An Unfinished Exotic Hardwood Floor
Exotic hardwood species can vary widely in natural color, density, grain pattern, and finish response. Because these floors are unfinished, the final look depends heavily on sanding, stain choice, sealer, finish system, and jobsite conditions. We recommend ordering samples, reviewing current availability, and confirming the species, grade, width, length, and lead time before placing a full project order.
