Beveled edge flooring features small angled edges along the sides of each plank. These edges create a visible groove between planks once installed, defining each board individually.
Beveled edges are a design and functional detail that influences how flooring looks, feels, and performs over time.
Beveled edge flooring is often selected to achieve a more natural and dimensional wood-floor appearance.
By visually separating each plank, beveled edges emphasize plank shape and layout, making the floor surface appear more structured and authentic, especially in wood-look flooring.
In wide or open spaces, flat-edge flooring can appear visually uniform or monotonous.
Beveled edges introduce shadow lines that add depth and visual rhythm to large floor surfaces.
Slight subfloor unevenness or minimal height differences between planks can be more noticeable on flat-edge flooring.
Beveled edges help visually mask small variations between planks.
