prefinished
Ready to install
Prefinished describes materials, especially flooring and cabinetry, that come already finished from the factory—stained, sealed, or coated—rather than requiring finishing after installation: prefinished hardwood floors, prefinished plywood.
The appeal is convenience: no sanding, staining, or waiting for finishes to cure on site.
