Diverse gradings for multiple interiors
A guide to choosing the grading that best fits your space
Choosing a floor grading
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 four 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 colour 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 colour 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.
Rustic
The Rustic grading introduces plenty of character to your floor. Sourced from wood with large twigs, this grading is deep and powerful with lively grains and contrasts. For those who want to create a welcoming atmosphere with a sense of history and charm, this grading is perfect. With its unpredictable patterns, it suits a down-to-earth home where you want to blur the lines between the outdoors and indoors.
Natural variations in hardened wood
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, colour 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.
Natural colour variations in hardened wood
Colour 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 colour due to sunlight and oxidation, enhancing its unique and natural beauty.
