All of our woods are custom milled, meaning we produce a very unique
grade of lumber for our flooring. Other mills will separate out
the Mission & Craftsman style "Rift and Quartersawn" wood for furniture
makers. We prefer to include this high grade wood in our floors,
it creates a very dynamic and interesting quality floor that
really distinguishes Green Mountain Flooring from the more common
commodity hardwood floors out there.
We produce our floors into two distinct appearance grades:
SELECT GRADE
Virtually
clear with occasional small tight pin knots. A very modern
looking floor no matter which wood you choose. Includes all of the
wood's typical color range. We run our select floors to 3", 4", 5" and sometimes
6" widths.
CHARACTER GRADE
Highlights the structurally sound natural character features of the wood
including knots, checks and small fill-able holes. Includes the full
color range typical for the wood. A more casual floor without being too
country. We run character grade floors 3" up to 8" wide.
