Many factors define the look of Shaw's natural hardwood flooring.
Species of the tree, where it grew, rate of growth, part of the tree used--they all determine your flooring's unique "character marks."
- The closer a plank is cut to the center of the tree, the darker its overall tone. Lighter boards came from closer to the bark.
- Knots indicate that a limb grew from that spot.
- Growth rings, determined by climate trends and mineral/nutrient absorption, determine grain pattern.
While all these "character marks" impact the appearance of finished boards, they do not affect their strength.
Formal, classic, or rustic? The choice is yours.
