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.
