    Why do wood floors have a bevelled edge?

    A bevelled edge is a manufacturing feature where the long sides of boards have a micro tapered edge. The ends of the boards have no bevel and are referred to as ‘square edged’. Bevelled edges are used on both solid and engineered floors.

    The size of the bevel varies depending on the manufacturer. Our flooring is micro bevelled resulting in a very small v that can be seen on the long sides of the boards, the ends have no bevel.


    The bevel serves as an appearance feature and also has a practical purpose when the sub-floor surface has slight irregularities that would result in an edge being slightly exposed and require sanding. The bevel helps compensate for the slight differences and can avoid the need for additional sanding.
