flooring
The difference between the various XXXX hardwood flooring product lines is simply the amount of allowable character. For example, you'll find the largest amount of character knots, mineral streaks, pinholes, etc., in the Good collection. As you step up in grade, the warranties are expanded and grading is enhanced.

Character GradeTM Description
For HomerWoodTM, Character GradeTM is our target grade and is not an off-fall from other production. Machining defects are not considered part of the grade.
No two floors are ever the same. Just like snowflakes, nature individualizes each plank in each floor. This is part of the uniqueness of our floors, one of the features that appeals to the consumer who seeks individuality.
What is Character?
Character GradeTM is unique and only manufactured by HomerWoodTM. We use the word \"Character\" to describe our flooring because the wood\'s inherent characteristics - the very fingerprints of nature - have been beautifully and reassuringly preserved. Of course, we remove any defects that could weaken your floor. The end result is an elegant floor that includes both clear and character planks that reflect the best attributes of the natural wood.
