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 Exquisite 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.

Exquisite
A consistently uniform interplay of colour and the wood’s texture. But growth-related variations always occur. Healthy knots and occasional fillings of knots and minor scratches may occur. A minimum of whirls, small scratches and cross grain and brown core may occur. Another aspect of this grading is that the wider and longer the planks, the greater the occurrence of larger variations, knots etc.

Living
Vibrant appearance with natural interplay of colour and the wood’s texture. In principal, free of open knots, cracks, pith etc. Whirls, healthy knots, small scratches, cross grains and silicon stains occur, depending on the type of wood. Knots, both large and small, occur naturally. Open knots, cracks etc. are filled. Chips, brown core and pith occur, depending on the type of wood.

Country
A very vibrant appearance with all the natural colour variations and wood textures. All types of knots, chips, brown core, filling of knots and cracks occur. Open knots, cracks and fillings may occur.
