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. |
