Raw floorboards are sourced straight from the factory without any further preparation after cutting them into planks. These offer more customisation but are more difficult to install as they require a 2 – 3 week acclimatisation period plus a sanding and polishing job once laid.
Pre-finished timber floors on the other hand are already sanded and polished in the factory. This makes them much easier to install, in fact you can move into your home right after the installer finishes their job!
