Generally if you are not matching other floors in your home most homeowners choose prefinished as today’s finishes are usually superior to job site finishes. The other advantage of using a prefinished floor product is that once the floor is installed your project is complete. There is much less dust and adverse smells brought into your home.
One of the biggest things to remember when installing a new wood floor in your home is that water and wood do not work well together. Make sure you subfloor and the area the flooring is being installed into is dry and has a humidity level that will not adversely affect the wood flooring. Solid wood floors are affected much greater than engineered floors but still the same holds true.
Last but not least like every other project you have ever tackled, you should read up on the subject if this is outside your area of expertise.
