Our Select Grade flooring is our most popular grade. Select grade flooring offers variable graining and has more knots, nail holes, and character markings than our Premium flooring but less than our Character grade. Select grade flooring is made from tight grain lumber but allows a little more variation between heartwood and sapwood. Many homeowners find that this variation adds to the natural appeal of this grade.
