Natural Colour Plank (ABCD) – CTRJCTQJ 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 undertone and the characteristic of the product matches the expectations of our customers. For our Kaleido natural range of flooring, grading is an important element as it has a direct visual impact on the overall flooring aesthetics. 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 of all 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, therefore grading information is mostly a reference on the degree of colour variations. For further grading details, please check our grading table. For further grading details, please check our grading table.

The added ‘D’ after our ABC grade stands for ‘Delightful.’ With bigger knots and higher sapwood content present on the board, ABCD grade certainly gives an unspoiled and enchanting feel of the timber to its user. Some dead knots may come with filler which adds another degree of visual contrast to the surrounding timber, making it a popular choice among contemporary design schemes.

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.

Choosing the right flooring to display from the hand sample is a crucial decision to make for your showroom.
