The facility will allow Goodwin, in partnership with Heritage Wood Finishing Company, to offer a variety of finish and color options, as well as storage for its engineered and factory-finished wood flooring inventory.
Groundbreaking took place on Goodwin’s property; Carol Goodwin told the Ocala Star Banner she wanted a prefinishing facility on-site as opposed to shipping the company’s product to a third-party vendor so the company can control the quality and customize color options with more flexibility.
“[P]re-finishing River-Recovered wood is a challenge because of its resinous nature,” Goodwin said in a statement. “Our proprietary, specially formulated coatings … allow us to satisfy the needs of customers who do not want to finish their floor on site.”
The company will offer a Diamond Finish and UV oil finish, and both are available with custom colors and textures.
All Things Wood Floor, created by Wood Floor Business magazine, talks to interesting wood flooring pros to share knowledge, stories and tips on everything to do with wood flooring, from installation, sanding and finishing to business management.
