Choosing Grade

Only the finest European timber is selected for our hardwood floors. Each piece is grown in nature and therefore unique and selected for its natural beauty. Find out more about the different characteristics below.

Select/ Nature Grade - AB

Planks are selected to give grain and colour variation. There can be a small amount of light sapwood around the edge of the board. Small sound knots and smaller filled knots also add to the natural effect.

Grade - ABC

Popular in species such as walnut. This grade displays more variation in grain and colour with larger sound & filled knots with more sapwood well distributed. Small filled cracks and dark streaks are also apparent.

Grade - CD

More economical timber selection allows for more grain and colour variation with contrasting sapwood, large sound knots and more filled knots, well distributed. Small filled cracks, end checks and dark streaks are also apparent.
