Peerless Pre-Finish Nootka Cypress Wide Plank:
Peerless Nootka Cypress flooring is commonly offered as a site-finish or finish-in-place flooring. NOT PRE-FINISH… However we can supply an optional semi pre-finish. We take the planks… subject to them to an ‘aging’ surface treatment… which renders them a brown shade as below. This then is ‘sealed’ with either an oil based varathane (which gives a dark golden brown shade) or a water based varathane (which gives a lighter tone- as below). After install, another coat of water based varathane… usually more than one… is applied with a light sanding before the last coat is applied.
