Exotic Wood Flooring Species

At Gaylord Hardwood Flooring, we offer four exotic wood flooring species. These include Sucupira, also known as Brazillian Walnut; Tigerwood, also known as Brazillian Koa; Cumaru, also known as Brazilian Teak; and Jatoba, also known as Brazilian Cherry. Over the years, we have found these Brazilian woods work with our climate, whereas, others cannot handle the season changes in North America.

Exotic Flooring Pros and Cons

The Brazilian woods can be much harder than the domestic hardwood flooring options. Cumaru has a Janka hardness of 3540, which is over two times denser than Maple. On the pro side, exotic hardwood floors are very dense, which makes them slightly more durable. On the con side, since exotic floors are so hard, they tend to be a little harder to work with, requiring shorter nails and a high quality saw.

Exotic Flooring Grades

Our Brazilian floors come in a broad range of grades. Since these wood floors are imported, they can only come in lengths up to 7 feet.
