Grading
The beauty of natural timber
There really is no other material that matches the natural beauty of wood. Timber products often include enhanced natural characteristics including colour variation, knots, filler and sapwood.
Colour variation
You may notice some colour variation between boards as no two pieces of raw timber are the same - even within the same species. This organic beauty is what makes timber so special. To achieve a balanced, natural look, installers should mix boards from multiple boxes during installation.
Wood grading
Prime
Classic
Planks with very few knots are mixed with planks containing larger knots or checks which may be filled. Variation between tone from heartwood and sapwood can be expected but is controlled.
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.
Character
Rustic
Character grade will include both heartwood and sapwood and allows a wider range of colour variation. Knots are larger and you should expect filler, checks and possibly some end shake.
Rustic grade allows a limitless size and number of knots. Heartwood will be used, there will be colour variation, sapwood and filler; you should also expect checks and possibly some end shake.
