A grading, which refers to the variation in the floor’s appearance, is down to personal taste. Do you like a more natural grading with visible grains and plenty of knots? Or one that is calmer and more harmonious? The grading should meet your aesthetic preferences.
At Bjelin, we offer three different gradings for our Woodura Planks 3.0, from clean to more lively ones. This guide will provide the information you need to select the grading that best suits your space.
Select
The Select grading is a breathtaking option for those seeking a harmonious and soothing atmosphere. It’s clean with some color variations and fewer whole knots. With these limited natural imperfections, the floor evokes a sense of peacefulness, refinement and elegance. This minimalist and effortless choice is ideal for a modern and contemporary home.
Blend
The Blend grading is the best of two worlds: a mixture of Select and Nature. This unique grading blends the elegance of Select with the character of Nature, creating a clean-looking floor with a few visible grains and knots. Enjoy the smooth, unblemished appearance of Select with just the right amount of natural character marks, knots, and variations that add warmth and depth to your space. Ideal for a modern home that wishes to exude a sense of natural beauty and sophistication.
Nature
The Nature grading celebrates the natural beauty of wood. With its unique and unpredictable patterns, knots, and character marks, this grading creates a sense of warmth and nostalgia, bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside. With its natural color variations, it adds authenticity and character to a space. The Nature grading is timeless and inviting and will suit multiple interior design styles for generations.
The following natural imperfections preserve the integrity of our hardened wood floors.
Opened and closed knots, cat paw and cracks in the surface are not product defects and in no way compromise the quality or durability of our wood flooring. Likewise, medullary rays, color variations and mineral streaks are unique features that embrace nature's uniqueness and beauty. These expected imperfections maintain the depth and personality of our wood flooring.
Color variations in wood floors are natural and expected. These variations result from differences in the wood species, age and exposure to light. Over time, the wood may change color due to sunlight and oxidation, enhancing its unique and natural beauty.
