Grades

This time, appearances are not deceiving!

Wood is a natural product featuring a natural variation in color and knots that reflects the tree’s age and history. To help consumers choose their floors, Preverco classifies boards by their “personality”. Preverco classifies wood in eight distinct grades based on selection criteria among the strictest in the industry.

Keep your guard up!

Although grade names are similar from one manufacturer to the next, descriptions are not. Be careful and don’t hesitate to compare appearance. Not everyone uses the same strict classification standards. Furthermore, the percentage of total production used for better grades is generally much higher elsewhere in the industry, which affects the overall appearance of the floor. You risk disappointment should the grades of other manufacturers fail to meet your expectations.

Consult our grades book to learn more about the different grades offered.
