Wood Flooring Grades

Following National Wood Flooring Associationโ€™s (NWFA) guidelines, unfinished domestic hardwoods, such as White OakRed Oak, and Hickory, are graded on appearance. Prefinished hardwood, on the other hand, is based on a manufacturerโ€™s descriptions, which are mostly for marketing.

When you are looking to buy unfinished wood flooring, your hardwood floor will be categorized into one of the following grades:

  • Clearย โ€“ Has a uniform appearance primarily composed of heartwood.
  • Selectย โ€“ Almost as uniform as Clear but with some natural characteristics.
  • #1 Commonย โ€“ Has more color variety, some mineral streaks, and knots.
  • #2 Commonย โ€“ Greater color variation and natural marks.
  • #3 Commonย โ€“ Value flooring with distinct natural marks.

Maple is an exception. If you want to add unfinished maple hardwood to your home or building, a similar range of quality is described by the following terms: First, Second, and Third. Contemporary terms Select #1 and Select #2 may be used instead.
