Grading Criteria

Classic Grade

• Classic Grade offers a well-balanced selection of wood planks.
• It has fewer and smaller knots than the character grade but more than the select grade.
• While there’s some heartwood and color variation, it’s generally more consistent in color across the batch.
• Checks, if any, are minimal, and any filler used is selected to blend nicely with the wood’s appearance, ensuring some color consistency, even if minor variations can occur between batches

Character Grade

• Character-grade wood encompasses both the heartwood and sapwood of the tree.
• It allows a broader range of color variations.
• Knots are larger, and you should anticipate some checks.
• Filler is used, chosen to complement the wood rather than matching it exactly, and its color may vary between batches

Rustic Grade

• Rustic Grade, also known as natural grade, can have many knots of various sizes.
• You’ll find heartwood and more noticeable color variations.
• Sapwood and filler are part of the package.
• Expect checks and the possibility of end shakes (cracks between the growth rings).
• The filler is carefully chosen to enhance the wood’s look, even if it doesn’t match it precisely, and its color may vary between batches

Warranty & Life Expectancy

All VidaSpace products must be installed by a competent installer/contractor who has the necessary skills and experience and can take individual site circumstances into account. VidaSpace warranty will apply only to projects that have been installed, handled, and maintained according to industry best practices and New Zealand Building Code requirements. It is the responsibility of the specifier to determine whether the  product is suitable and compliant for the application

PurePlank has a 5 Year Commercial Wear Resistance Warranty & a 20 Year Residential Wear Resistance Warranty.

These warranties are provided as a guideline, and actual performance can vary. The key to maximizing the lifespan of your engineered timber floor lies in proper maintenance, which may include regular cleaning, avoiding excessive moisture, using protective mats and furniture pads, and promptly addressing any damage or spills. Additionally, the quality of the installation plays a significant role in the longterm durability of the floor. The life expectancy of an engineered timber floor will be dependent on the level of foot traffic it receives. With the ability to refinish an engineered timber floor, you can extend its overall lifespan. If well maintained and not subjected to unusually high levels of wear, it’s reasonable to expect an engineered timber floor with a 2.5mm wear layer to last significantly longer than the warranty period

Not covered by warranty

Telegraphing: When effects of uneven light reflection on the installed floor that cannot be measured or which are visible only under specific lighting or at a specific angle (visual inspection of the installed wood floor is carried out in a standing position under natural lighting conditions. The inspection of the wood-laid floor should take place by observing the floor standing upright with natural light behind the observer and diffused light. An angled source of light, false light or direct light should not be used for the evaluation or to locate blemishes on the floor surface

• Telegraphing caused by site conditions relating to humidity changes.
• Telegraphing caused by inappropriate maintenance

End-of-Life Options

The end-of-life options for PurePlank timber flooring depend on various factors, including the condition of the flooring, and environmental considerations. Here are some common options:

• Refinishing : If your PurePlank timber flooring is still in good condition but has surface wear and tear or minor damage, refinishing can extend its life. This involves sanding the surface to remove the old finish and applying a new finish, which can rejuvenate the look of the floor.
• Recycling: If your PurePlank timber flooring is no longer usable or cannot be reclaimed, it can be recycled. Timber can be ground down to create wood chips or used in particleboard or fiberboard production. Recycling helps reduce the demand for new timber and minimizes waste
• Upcycling : If the PurePlank timber flooring has some usable sections, consider upcycling it into smaller items. This reduces waste and gives the wood a new purpose. When considering the end-of-life options for timber flooring, it’s essential to prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility. Refinishing and recycling are typically better options than disposal in a landfill or biomass energy generation. Additionally, local regulations and recycling facilities may vary, so it’s a good idea to check with local authorities or recycling centers for guidance on the most suitable options in your area
