There are many factors to consider when deciding upon which type of artificial hardwood flooring is the most appropriate for your home. One important variable is known as the grade of the floor in question. Let us examine the four unique grades as well as what each has to offer.
Select Grade Flooring
Sometimes known as "classic" grade, this is considered to be the highest grade available on the market. The clean appearance of the wood is known for few variations and there are no knots. Select grade flooring is very popular throughout Europe.
Prime Grade Flooring
This grade is primarily defined by a uniform colour between the boards and few (if any) noticeable knots. You can, therefore, enjoy a nearly flawless appearance. In the same respect, any
flooring adhesive and joint filler will be used to provide an illusion of slight variations; offering a more natural appearance.
Natural Grade Flooring
As the name suggests, this grade provides the most "natural" appearance. The wood exhibits a greater degree of variation and knots will be seen on occasion. Natural grade flooring is essentially a balance between select styles and those which offer a more rustic flavour.
Rustic Flooring
Rustic flooring is the most popular choice within the United Kingdom. It is intended to display many of the nuances and faults that are found throughout a real wooden floor. Examples include a wide array of colour variations, splits and knots. This is often chosen by those who are wishing to embrace a more traditional appearance.
