Spanish term or phrase: estar de madera
I'm translating a PR doc about a new building, this is the phrase in which it appears:

Pisos en estar de madera natural = natural wood ???? floors

I can't seem to find this word on any wood/carpentry related sites. Thank you very much for any help.

unpolished wooden flooring


Explanation:
The living room floorings are of unpolished wood
Living room with wooden floorings that have an unpolished finish

It means that the floorings in the living room are made of wood that has its natural colour, ie for example, it hasn't been polished with a coloured wax,

There are different ways of saying it, depending what the text is for, or what you want to stress.
