difference between Muirfield, St. Andrews, Quail Hollow and Ol’ Virginian?
A. All of these are prefinished oak flooring, but each line differs slightly. For example, Muirfield and St. Andrews are the same premium grade of flooring, but they vary in structure. Muirfield has micro-beveled ends and edges, meaning they are slightly angled at the top. Builders, in particular, like working with flooring that is beveled on four sides, because it tends to mask slight imperfections in the subflooring. St. Andrews, on the other hand, has ends that feature square and micro-beveled edges. Both Quail Hollow and Ol’ Virginian also have square ends and micro-beveled edges, but they are a lower grade of flooring. Q.

Also, before starting, take time to place the planks from varying boxes around
