Grades for Every Style

Our hardwood collections are available in three distinct grades, each offering a different level of natural character. Features such as knots, mineral streaks, color variation, checks, and other natural markings give every floor its own unique appearance without compromising the quality of the wood.

Choosing a grade is about choosing the look you want for your space—from a cleaner, more consistent appearance to a floor rich with natural character.

Explore our Nova Collection, Nature's Collection, and Rustic Collection to find the look that's right for your project.
