Grading:  

Premium/Clear Grade flooring contains natural characteristics such as small knots and minor color variations. It has a more uniform color and longer average plank length compared to builder grade flooring products. Premium grade pre-finished flooring will be practically free of most finishing defects including debris, skips, streaks, blisters, chipping, or scratches. ALL Premium grade products are considered "first" quality.  When purchasing this grade be sure to add 5%-7% to complete the project.

Builder Grade products will include variable amounts of milling, grading, and/or finishing defects; however, such imperfections should still provide a fully install-able floor. Plank lengths will be shorter as compared to premium grade. These product feature the same polyurethane finish as a premium grade product. Builder grade hardwood can provide a low-cost option in hardwood. Shaw builder grade products are considered factory seconds. When purchasing this grade be sure to add 10%-15% to complete the project.
