Brazilian Cherry Flooring = Exotic Red Jatoba Flooring
Brazilian Cherry is very popular in flooring now. This exotic wood comes from a large rainforest tree - Brazilian Cherry called Guapinol in Brazil, and, sometimes, goes under trade names Jatoba or Courbaril. Why is it so popular? Several factors make it a very desirable choice for residential and commercial applications such as flooring, parquet, fine furniture and cabinetry, stair treads and decorative veneers...
1. Beautiful natural color - Brazilian Cherry is a reddish brown wood, with an interlocking grain and some golden and darker brown streaks which give it an exotic expression.
2. And the color is ... changing. Originally light, it naturally darkens from tan or salmon to a deep reddish brown over several months... to reveal cherry beauty. (You cannot make it stay light - the so-called "Brazilian Cherry Lite" is actually not a true Brazilian Cherry but a different tree - Brazilian Oak).
3. Very hard - 2.28 times harder than domestic red oak, and is about 3 times harder than American Cherry. It's also heavy and very strong wood.
4. It steam-bends and glues well.
5. Available as prefinished and unfinished.
It's obviously more expensive than the domestic Cherry wood.
