About
Grading
Grades of
hardwood flooring will vary within each
specie. Common guidelines to follow
would be described as follows; Clear has
a more uniform appearance, free of
character and comes mostly from the
heart of the tree. Hence, heartwood.
Select will also be uniform in
appearance but will contain
characteristics that are natural to all
hardwoods such as wider color variations
and knots. Select and Better will be a
notch between select and common grades.
Common grades are ordinarily classed at
#1 and #2. Both will have significant
color variations and more character. #2
will have more than #1. |
