An Explanation of Maine Traditions Prefinished Hardwood Flooring Grades Premium Grade – This grade shows all the modern clean, clear attributes of the very besthardwood, with minimal color and grain variations. During the production process thePremium grade is selected by eliminating boards with character or darker heartwood,producing a grade that shows only an occasional mineral streak or pin knot, which areminimized to ensure the quality you expect with a premium floor.

Coastal Grade –Our Coastal grade provides a great option for those looking for intriguingcolor contrasts, character, natural mineral streaks, and varying grain patterns. Coastal gradeis often chosen just to provide diversity in the appearance of the hardwood floor. It’s also a very popular grade for those wanting to pull colors together in a room, from thewalls through the furniture and floor coverings. The varying colors and grain patterns found in each hardwood species are brought to life in this proprietary grade.

Antique Grade – The Antique grade is reserved for the species with the most spectacularcolor and grain appearance – Red Birch and American Cherry. A grade unique to MaineTraditions, our Antique grade is produced by using the entire run of lumber, combining ourPremium and Coastal grades together in each carton. This blending of grades allows the trueflavor of the hardwood to come out, with very rich color and grain contrast.

Natural Grade – Utilizing the entire run of Hickory, we produce this grade to promote betterlength. Natural Grade exhibits some color variation, with solid character. Includes all clearsapwood, developing heart-wood, a few solid knots up to ½”, with voids up to ¼” filled.

Exclusive Grade –A rich grade that allows moderate color variation. Sound or cosmeticallyenhanced knots up to 3⁄16” in diameter are acceptable. Mineral streaks no longer than 6” areoccasionally found in this grade.

Swatches to the right illustrate the difference between Premium and Coastal grades in HardMaple and Red Oak. Our Premium grade’s minimal grain and color variations are evident.However, many homeowners prefer the more diverse grain and color inherent in Coastalgrade. Although our grading standards are more stringent than most others in the industry,real hardwood is a natural product, and every carton will vary somewhat.

Ideal for environments that could be less than ideal. Floors in the innovative Katahdin Collection of Engineered HardwoodFlooring are ideal for installations throughout your entire home–whether above, at, or below grade–even in areas withchallenging climatic conditions, such as basements.

Katahdin Collection Engineered Hardwood floors are available in your choice of traditionally installed 31⁄4” wide random length boards, or in our 5-inch wideeasy-to-install Tree·LocTM“click” planks, which may require no adhesives or fasteners. Engineeredfor long-term stability, these Katahdin Collection floors are the ideal solution for homes with today’s sub-floor radiantheating systems (either installed below the subfloor or embedded in a concrete slab). With this increasingly popularheat system, heated water is circulated through plastic tubing, then rises and warms the room. Unfortuantely, frequentheat fluctuations, as well as natural humidity changes can be brutal on solid hardwood, causing it to expand, contract,bow or cup. However, by virtually eliminating the unstable properties inherent in most solid hardwood, our Maine

Traditions® Katahdin Collection engineered flooring provides the distinctive, desirable appearance of genuine, naturalhardwood without the risk of those unsightly dimensional distortions.

Of course, all of these versatile Katahdin Collection floors are ideal when installed in less challenging environments in your home, as well. And with our 35-year residential warranty, you can expect many years of enjoyment from your beautiful new Katahdin Collection floor, regardless of its location.
