Natural Colour Herringbone (AB) – CTPKBYNN Hand Sample

Description

Our Kaleido range of natural colour wood flooring is a timeless classic, a safe choice for most decoration styles and a style that will never go out of fashion. Natural colour floorings are not stained or treated with any substantial artificial colouring, a pure reflection of the natural pigment of the wood with a final layer of coating finish. This makes the texture and grain patterns of the wood more pronounced and visible, giving an organic and authentic wood feel to the interior space. With that being said, grading information is important when comes to selecting natural colour boards, since they can dedicate the characteristics and the overall presentation of the flooring in a given space.

Photos for our Natural Kaleido range of products are not available by intent, since we believe the pictures don’t always accurately represent the general characteristics of the wood due to the limitation of cameras, changes in natural/artificial lighting and the relative inconsistencies of various displays on mobile devices or computer monitors. We strive to make our colours as accurate as possible, but images are always intended as a reference only and should not be regarded as the actual product. Unlike our stained Kaleido range of prefinished products, natural colours are universally similar therefore demonstrating each one of them by photographs are unnecessary.

We provide grading information for all our boards from our experienced veneer grader to ensure the product’s undertone and characteristic matches our customers’ expectations. For our Natural Kaleido range of flooring, grading is an important element and should be checked upon before ordering. Generally speaking, for a higher-grade board, you can expect a cleaner veneer with fewer to no knots and fillers, and vice versa. It should be noted that grading information serves not as a quality reference but only as a character reference. The structure and finishing quality remain consistent throughout our products, and in most scenarios, a lower grading board will not affect the undertone of the flooring as a whole. Compare to planks, herringbone boards rarely get any large dead knots due to the size of the tree it is sourced from, making its grading information mostly a reference for the level of colour variations. For further grading details, please check our grading table.

AB grade is a lower grade than our prime offering but still retains an overall clean, smooth board presentation. Pin knots and small sound knots are allowed as long as they are not visually intruding on the undertone and character of the board. Sapwood is generally unnoticeable and may only appear on the board’s edge. Colour variation control is kept in the same principle of the prime grade, which is minimal.

Why are we not offering hand samples for our Natural Kaleido range of products? We noticed that a small 12mm long sample piece does not accurately represent the laid and completed flooring in a house, and it may misstate and lead to a false expectation of our products as grading characteristics on the board vary in areas. On a single board, certain corners may show clear colour variations and knots while the remaining areas of the same board may appear as clean and consistent in patterns. However, if you wish to acquire a structure reference of our boards by looking at our samples, we are more than happy to help you with this. Please refer to this piece for the plank and this piece for the herringbone sample.
