FLOORING GRADES
At Appadene Forest Products, we grade our timber flooring into three grades, Select , Standard and Better and Feature.
So depending on the individual preferences, we at Appadene can meet the customers wants and needs for that special home.
Select Grade contains few faults and then normally only minor defects it naturally follows, inherent in the species, overall hue is even and knot free. Therefore this grade is charged at a more expensive rate than feature grade.
Standard/Better Grade is a grade between the Select and Feature, containing some visible grain patterns & appearances.
Feature Grade contains visible grain patterns & appearances occuring naturally in the timber, such as gum veins , which gives its character and natural beauty and warmth. Feature is the most popular choice of new home builders due to its beauty,character and rustic nature and its ability to become a show piece or talking point in the decor of the home. Therefore it also happens to be the lowest cost of the grades - a big bonus to the home builders and designers.
