Gradings

HØRNING’s huge variety of plank floors are made of fresh wood customised to the dimensions of the plank floors. On the whole, large dimensions will include the most variations, knots, fillings etc.

Standard solid planks come in Living grading. Ash and oak also come in Exquisit and Country gradings.

Wood is a wonderful natural material, so variation vis-à-vis descriptions and photos will always occur. Any samples show only dimension and texture and cannot show the grading. Variations will certainly occur between small samples and actual deliveries.

Exquisit
General uniform colour and wood structure. Variations due to growth conditions will always exist. Healthy knots and a few fillings of knots and minor cracks may be found. Whirls, small scratches and cross grains, sapwood and brownheart may be found to a small extent. Also this grade involves, that the wider and longer the planks are, the more and bigger variations, knots etc. will be found.

Living
A more characteristic look with natural colours and wood structure. In principle free of open knots, cracks, pith etc. Whirls, healthy knots, small scratches, cross grains and silicon stains will be found depending of the wood specie. Knots occur naturally in both small and big dimensions. Open knots, cracks etc. are filled. Sapwood, brownheart and pith will be found depending of the wood specie.

Country
Very characteristic look with all natural colour variations and wood structures. Knots of all types, sapwood, brownheart, filled knots and cracks will be found. Open knots, cracks and fillings may be found.
