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. |
