WOOD FLOOR GRADES
Prime Grade
Prime Grade also known as select, or A B Grade, is the highest grade of flooring we provide. Its slight colour variation and low knot content provides a clean uniformed look. The grain is slightly straighter then the lower grades and the floor will contain very few and infrequent small knots and/or character marks. Due to the limited supply, this grade will usually cost more then less clean wood flooring grades.
Light Character Grade
Also known as natural grade, it is the middle timber grade. It allows for slightly larger and more frequent knot content than the prime grade. It will also display some colour variations and some mineral streaking and grain pattern.
Rustic Grade
Rustic grade also known as Character, or C D Grade, is a grade full of character and excitement, it contains vibrant colourful patterns, knots and variation. The floor can display a variety of knot sizes, colours and shapes, heavy grain markings and figuring. Due to the abundance of raw material, for most species we sell, this wood flooring type will offers the best price, although provides the same quality, stability and wear property as of the cleaner grades.

A Note on Sapwood
A small quantity of sapwood will be apparent in most orders. Sapwood can appear as lighter or darker patches in a wood floor and is most visible in darker finishes like fumed or heat treated. Sapwood is not of an inferior quality but can, if preferred, be removed by our wood fitter, if arranged in advance and the fitting service is provided by us. Please note that this may require additional packs to be purchased to compensate for the additional wastage.
