Wood flooring is easier to clean, and it can be better for those who have seasonal allergies. There are many durable options available when considering exotic wood flooring.

BRAZILIAN CHERRY

As time passes, the highlighted tones will develop into deep crimson shades. The dark stripes in the wood provide an accent. The durability factor of Brazilian cherry makes the wood a prime choice when considering exotic wood flooring. The wood is able to handle a heavy volume of traffic and is often use indoors and outdoors.
