Exotic Hardwood Flooring

Exotic hardwood flooring grounds your space in rich color and unique splendor. Strong and long-lasting, it's also a characterful choice for any home.

 

What Is Exotic Hardwood Flooring?

At LL Flooring, our exotic hardwood flooring is made from wood sourced outside the United States. Species of exotic hardwood include acacia, cherry, and mahogany, and we source these from all over South America and Asia. So, what sets it apart? Exotic hardwood flooring is primarily regarded for its resilience, striking grain patterns, and rich coloring.

Choosing Exotic Hardwood Flooring

We offer a wide selection of unique exotic hardwood flooring options from a range of countries. You'll find styles and textures that can adapt to fit almost any interior aesthetic.

For a luxurious and sophisticated vibe, explore Brazilian cherry—which pairs well with classic and formal décor. This exotic hardwood flooring species also holds up nicely in high-traffic areas such as entryways, family rooms, and staircases. Another fine choice is Brazilian oak, which would be the finishing touch on your dream space.

Turn your home into a serene oasis with Brazilian oak. The natural tones help brighten up any room and evoke relaxation.

 

Unfinished Exotic Hardwood Flooring

Unfinished exotic hardwood flooring gives you the freedom to customize to your heart's content. You can give exotic walnut hardwood flooring a richer hue with a stain. Or, add more character and dimension with various distressing techniques.

 

How to Install Exotic Hardwood Flooring

There's no secret to installing exotic hardwood flooring—the methods are the same as you'll find across our selection of other solid and engineered hardwood flooring options. The installation type will depend on the particular flooring that you choose. You'll find everything you need to know in the Warranty, Installation, and Care guidelines that come with the product, including how long you should acclimate your boards to the space prior to installation.

While experienced DIYers can consider installing solid hardwood flooring, we recommend hiring an independent professional contractor to handle the job.

 

Maintenance and More

To keep your exotic flooring looking spectacular for years to come, simply clean and maintain it as you would any other type of wood flooring. Learn how to clean exotic hardwood floors effectively with these simple steps.

  • Remove dust, dirt, and debris from the floor using a soft broom or a vacuum cleaner with no beater bar.
  • Lightly dampen a mop or microfiber cloth with a hardwood floor cleaner.
  • Wipe up spills immediately to prevent moisture from seeping into the wood and causing damage or staining.
