Engineered oak parquet boards grading |
← |
Engineered oak parquet grading refers to the visual classification of European oak flooring based on natural wood characteristics such as knots, colour variation, sapwood, and grain structure. Because oak is a natural material, every board has unique features.
| Grade | Characteristics | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Select | Occasional healthy knots up to 9 mm. Sapwood up to 10 mm in 5% of boards. Clean structure. | Modern, minimalist, and luxury interiors. |
| Classic | Healthy knots up to 35 mm, filled knots up to 25 mm. Sapwood up to 10 mm. Balanced character. | Scandinavian, traditional, and contemporary residential spaces. |
| Rustic | Healthy knots up to 65 mm, filled knots up to 35 mm. Prominent colour changes and sapwood. | Authentic, industrial, and loft-style interiors. |

Engineered oak parquet uses a different grading system than solid parquet.

Yes. Due to its 2-layer construction with a plywood base, engineered boards are much more stable and have better thermal conductivity, making them the preferred choice for heated floors.
Typically, we manufacture 12 mm and 15 mm thicknesses with a top oak layer of 3 mm to 3,5 mm. It is also possible to order 18,5 or 20,5 mm thickness with a 5,5 mm top layer.
Classic grade offers a more subtle natural look with smaller knots, while Rustic grade celebrates the full character of the oak, including larger knots and slight color variations.
