With unfinished hardwood, the wood is installed and then it is finished on-site. Installers will use a polyurethane finish to coat the top of the wood. With most prefinished floors, a substance called aluminum oxide is used to finish the flooring. Aluminum oxide is much harder than polyurethane finish.
Another advantage of using prefinished hardwood floor is that it is very simple to install compared to unfinished wood. When individual purchases unfinished wood, he or she has to allow the wood to acclimate, take everything out of the room, and then install the wood. Then the installer has to stain the wood, allow the stain to dry, and then finish it with polyurethane. In most cases, this process will take several days and the homeowners will have to be inconvenienced during this period.

This allows the homeowners to choose a look that is unique and right for them. The finish on Prefinished Hardwood Floors generally looks much cleaner and better than wood that is finished on-site. With this type of wood, the finishing is done in controlled environment in factory without any dust, instead of doing it inside dusty house.
