GRADING
Here are the five typical flooring grades you will find.
Prime Prime grade has few, if any knots, and these will be of minimal size. There will also be a minimal amount of sapwood and filler, if any at all. The colour of the filler is intended to complement the natural structure of the wood, where features such as knots contrast with the surrounding timber, and it may vary from batch to batch. There will be a relatively small amount of colour variation in the timber itself.
Select Select grade will have a mix of almost prime boards with other planks which have more knots of a limited size. Expect some variation in tone from heartwood and sapwood as well as small checks (cracks across the growth ring). There will be some filled elements, such as broken knots. The colour of the filler is intended to complement the natural structure of the wood, where features such as knots are in contrast to the surrounding timber, and it may vary from batch to batch.
