Brazilian Cherry Hardwood Flooring

When you choose Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring for your home, you get the unrivaled allure of its coloring and exquisite graining alongside its impressive strength and durability. This exotic hardwood is found in Central and South America and is not a kind of cherrywood at all. Instead, the "cherry" in its name refers to its beautiful hues, which are distinctive and appealing without dominating a room's aesthetic. Scoring 2350 on the Janka hardness scale, Brazilian cherry solid hardwood is exceptionally hard. It holds up well to heavy foot traffic and will provide decades of service in your home.

Solid and Engineered Options Available

Opt for either Brazilian cherry solid hardwood flooring or engineered hardwood flooring. While both selections offer the same natural charm and visual appeal, there are key differences between the two. Solid hardwood flooring is made of boards of single, solid pieces of wood. They have been used in homes for centuries and are beloved for their warmth and service. They can stand up to the chaos of busy households, providing homeowners with a gorgeous, high-performing interior and a great investment.

Like its solid hardwood counterpart, Brazilian cherry engineered hardwood flooring gives your home the sublime beauty of authentic hardwood. However, it also features an innovative design—a top layer of real hardwood (called a veneer) over a high-quality core made from plywood, lumber core, MDF, or stone-polymer composite—to provide superior strength and stability. Along with the real Brazilian cherry hardwood veneer, an invisible wear layer offers protection against scratches and scuffing. Below the surface, a core delivers additional resistance to wear and protection against underneath moisture infiltration.

Installation and Maintenance

Our Brazilian cherry solid and engineered flooring options allow for nail-down, staple-down, or glue-down installation methods. While self-installation can provide do-it-yourselfers with a unique satisfaction, professional independent contractors are available to get your floors looking their best. Hardwood floors are also a cinch to maintain. Simply sweep weekly with a soft-bristled broom and periodically dry mop for stains. Consult your Warranty, Installation, and Care guide for more specific information.
