How are nominal and actual measurments different?
Just like a 2 x 4 is not really a 2 inch by 4 inch piece of wood, our flooring is specified in whole inch increments. The actual face width after milling is 1/2″ less, so for example, a 6″ plank will have a face width of 5 1/2″. Not to worry, we ship you the proper square footage of your order measured off the actual face width after milling, so you don’t have to perform any complex calculations.
