Cabin grade is basically the same wood as 1<sup>st<\/sup> quality, which means it is the same species, it is milled to the same specifications, and it is stained the same color. The only difference is that cabin grade wood was called or rejected from the 1<sup>st<\/sup> quality run for a variety of reasons.<\/p><p>The most common reasons are mineral streaks and knot holes, which can give the floor a more rustic look. Many customers prefer this rustic look to the color consistency in many 1<sup>st<\/sup> quality styles. There may also be more short boards in a box of cabin grade material. Most wood flooring is purchased in random lengths, and you will find more boards that are 9\u201d to 18\u201d in a box of cabin grade than you would in a typical 1<sup>st<\/sup> quality box. Other irregularities found in cabin grade may include missing tongues, over wood, or an uneven finish. In addition, certain manufacturers are known to have cleaner cabin grade wood than others, and they have a 5 year finish warranty on many of their cabin grade flooring.<\/p><p>Installing cabin grade wood is more challenging, and you should purchase 15% to 20% extra material to allow your installer to use only the most uniform boards from each box. Keep in mind that cabin-grade is engineered, and when you see \u201ctavern-grade\u201d it means it\u00a0 is solid hardwood.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/hardwood\/cabintavern-grade-pcid-211.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to see our selection of cabin grade hardwood flooring.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/mohawk-hardwood-mid-32.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to see our selection of Mohawk hardwood.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/uht.ebb.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/cabin-grade-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-2365 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/uht.ebb.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/cabin-grade-2-300x227.jpg\" alt=\"cabin grade 2\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/cabin-grade-2-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/cabin-grade-2.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/a><\/p><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cCabin grade\u201dor \u201ctavern grade\u201d wood is an excellent choice when purchasing new hardwood flooring.
