Manufacturing Tolerance
Engineered hardwood floors are a natural product and as such are subject to many variances in colour and character in each individual piece of flooring. Therefore, we always recommend you work from 3-4 packs of flooring at a time to get the best natural colour mix. As such, a tolerance of 5% should be allowed for the deselection of any material deemed unsuitable for installation.
