JANKA/Hardness Scale

The JANKA/HARDNESS SCALE shows the hardness of each species of hardwood by using a ball-bearing being forced into the surface of the plank. The amount of pressure required to meet a specific depth of penetration is calculated and given a number representing the hardness value. Lower values represent softer woods such as pine with a rating of 402 whereas the higher values represent the harder woods such as Brazilian Mahogany with a rating of 3840.

Variation

Variation describes the uniformity of color within the wood. The grade, staining process, and manufactured finish may each impact the variation of a given product. When installed without stain, the grades of Select or Clear provide more even colors throughout the hardwood floor when compared to a Rustic or Common grade. Some products have more variation because of the staining or finishing process.
