Threre are three main types of eding available for realwood and laminate flooring
- Square edge, bevelled edge and microbevelled edge.
Square Edge means the edges of all planks meet squarely creating a smooth, uniform
surface that blends the wood floor together from plank to plank. The overall look
of this floor gives a more contemporary flair and formal feeling to the room. A lot of 2 strip and 3 strip floors are square edge, some 1 strip floors can be square edge too.
Bevelled edges on wooden floorboards accentuate each individual plank, resulting
in a more traditional floorboard feel. Bevelled edge planks have a very distinctive,
deep v-groove. They lend themselves more to an informal and country decor. The deep
bevelling helps hide sub floor irregularities that could result in variations in
height between planks.
Microbevelled means each plank has a slight bevelled edge, or shallow v-groove.
Eased edge is also referred to as micro-bevelled. The eased edges help hide minor
irregularities and unevenness between plank heights. It is a subtle way to distinguish between the planks, as opposed to the deeper bevelled edge.
