The Best Prefinished Coatings for Hardwood

Prefinished hardwoods come with certain types of characteristics depending on the finishing material used. Prefinished hardwoods are typically more expensive than their unfinished counterparts, but are sometimes preferred by contractors and homeowners because of their durability. Although most prefinished hardwoods come coated with polyurethane, there are several prefinished coatings used on the market today.

Acrylic impregnation refers to the injection process acrylic monomers in the top layer of wood. This process makes the wood harder and more resistant to corrosion. The acrylic monomers are also consistent when they come into contact with wood grain, making a good seal. Above the acrylic monomer is another coating layer, typically polyurethane finish to create a more resistant to abrasion.
