1 AUSTRALIAN GRADING STANDARD Timber Hardwood Grade Description MARKET TIMBERS 471 Somerville Rd Brooklyn VIC 3012, Australia Tel: Established Suppliers to Australia's leading builders, architects and designers.
2 Australian Grading Standards The grades specified in Australian Grading Standard are primarily based on the features and desired aesthetic appearance. Each piece of hardwood product shall be graded on the face, back, edges and ends, as appropriate, in accordance with the requirements of this Standard, sawn or milled to ordered dimensions, and within the tolerances appropriate to the product. The grading names in Australian Grading Standard are not intend to indicate a ranking of quality. For some applications and species, an increasing proportion of features may make a product more desirable rather than less. 1. Select Grade Providing a floor where the feature present or natural discolouration will not dominate the appearance of the floor, this timber flooring is classified as select grade. Select grade has the least number of natural features such as gum veins and pin holes. MARKET TIMBERS provides select grade timber flooring with limited variation in natural characteristics. All our products have been carefully selected and graded, floorboard by floorboard, to ensure that it meets strict quality standards. 2. Medium Feature - Standard Grade depending on the species, features will vary and in some instances boards meeting high feature grade may only appear moderately featured. It should be note that the difference in appearance between a Select Grade floor and a Medium Feature Standard Grade can be quite significant whereas the difference in appearance between a Medium Feature Standard Grade floor and a High Feature Grade floor can be quite small. Providing a floor that may have significantly more character than a Select Grade floor, it is classified as standard grade. Standard grade has a moderate amount of natural features. To some degree this will depend on the features present in a particular species. In one species gum veins may naturally be prevalent while in another there may be few gum veins but past borer activity may be more prevalent. Therefore, this grade can be expected to have greater character than Select Grade, and contain an increased amount of gum vein, past borer activity, knots and natural discolouration. MARKET TIMBERS provides meadium feature - standard grade timber flooring with interesting and distinctive variations and markings, to enhance the look of a timber floor and give it a unique character as individual signature. 3. High Feature Grade High Feature Grade is also known as Rustic Grade. Providing a floor that contains boards with similar features to Medium Feature Standard Grade but where the length of features such as gum veins may be longer and past borer activity more frequent. Again MARKET TIMBERS provides high feature grade timber flooring with unique natural features. Although high feature grade has always been considered the cheapest grade, it is now becoming more popular due to the beauty of its natural look. Modern techniques in the finishing of these floors make them aesthetically stunning. 471 Somerville Rd Brooklyn VIC 3012, Australia Tel:
3 Natural Features of Timber Hardwood MARKET TIMBERS 1. Knots 3. Grains The grains in back sawn timber piece have mixed direction that can include cathedrals, crowns or swirls along the face of the board. According to the specifications in AS/NZS , the measurement of the grain is to determine the slope. General grain slope calculation is given by a/b. Knots are the remnants of branches that have been captured by the growing trunk of the tree. The size of the knots is defined as the width which is measured between lines parallel to the length of the timber piece with the knot. 2. Holes The size of the holes is measured when they appear on the surface of the timber. In the above figure. x refers to the width of the hole. and y refers to the length of the hole. In timber industry, the term grain means the general direction of wood fibres relative to the length of the timber piece. Grain also refers to the direction, size, arrangement, appearance, or quality of wood fibres. There are straight grains, irregular grains, wavy grains, and etc. The most common grain variation is the pattern of the growth rings on the surface, which is determined by the ways the timber is cut. The most two common cutting methods include Quarter sawn (left) and Back sawn (right). The grains in quarter sawn timber piece are relatively straight, even and parallel running along the board. 4. Gum Veins and Gum Pockets Gum Veins and gum pockets are common characteristics in most hardwoods. They are the build-up of resin or tree sap and can be easily identified by their colour difference on the same timber piece. The centre of gum veins, generally white in color, has very few wood fibres and is soft in texture. As moving towards the edges of the gum veins, the colour becomes darker and the amount of wood fibres increases.
4 The width of the gum vein and gum pocket shall be measured on the surface of the timber and the length shall be measured along the timber piece. The depth shall be measured at 90 o to the surface on which it appears. 5. Checks and Splits Checks and splits of timber refer to the appearance of cracks in wood. As timber dries out over time, checks and splits are likely to appear. There are different types of cracks in timber as illustrated in the figure below, surface check (a), normal check (b), internal check (c) and split (d). The width (w) of the check is measured on the surface of the timber piece perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the check. The length (x) of the split and the length (y) of the check are measured parallel to the length of the timber piece. In Australian Grading Standard, it is considered inappropriate to include internal checks as part of the grading rules since they cannot always be seen by the grader. 6. Want, Wane and Sapwood The sapwood of a tree is the youngest wood in a tree s trunk and is located in the outermost rings. All wood that exists in a tree either currently is or was once sapwood until it reaches a certain age. Sapwood is generally in comparison with heartwood that is the older wood that is deeper in the trunk of the tree and close to the center. Sapwood is also called living wood because it is the wood that conducts water from the roots underground to the leaves in the branch. Not only does sapwood Wane refers to the presence of bark or lack of wood from any cause on the edge or corner of a piece of timber. Want refers to the absence of fiber on the edge of timber.

Some features such as internal checks cannot always be seen by the grader; therefore, it is considered inappropriate to include internal checks as part of the grading rules. After further profiling of the timber (often by another party), the previously unseen internal checks may be revealed on the surface of the newly profiled product. When this occurs, they should be assessed as checks other than internal because they are now on the surface. Internal checks are not considered acceptable in some products and care should be exercised during drying to limit their occurrence. 2 When it is intended to apply a paint or similar pigmented finish to a product, then discolouration, stain or black speck need not be limited when agreed between the purchaser and supplier. 3 The interpretation of the word slight will depend on the species being graded. The word slight has been used, even though it is subjective, because of the difficulty in describing what is a small or trifling amount of a feature, which may create a visual impact on the product. The visual impact of colour variation within a board will depend on a number of factors. A slight feature is considered not to have a large impact on the overall appearance. For example, a floor with considerable color variation between heartwood and sapwood may tolerate greater discolouration in some boards without affecting the overall appearance of the floor. In other instances where the timber is predominantly of one colour (particularly of a lighter tone), the contrast created by a small amount of discolouration within a board will heavily impact on the overall appearance and should not be considered slight.
