They are somewhat less resistant to moisture than processed ones. When they begin to show signs of wear it will be enough to apply fine sandpaper and give a new layer of the finish for which we have opted.
 
The installation is normally done by gluing the floor to the ground or nailing on the floor. These types of installation are more complex and offer greater stability, although they are not free from inconveniences.
