Choosing a hardwood floor is confusing enough, but that only gets more complicated when the same wood type is referred to by different names. Jatoba is the same thing as Brazilian cherry hardwood floor for example. Many people look for the beautiful natural color of Brazilian cherry hardwood floor and can not find what they are looking for because they are confused by an American cherry floor or do not know to look for Jatoba.
Cherry hardwood floor is an excellent choice for wood flooring because it is a very strong and durable choice for flooring. However, one of the most popular reasons that people choose Brazilian cherry hardwood is for the amazing natural color of the wood. When cherry floor is first laid it is a beautiful color with slight yellow or pink undertones, but the wood darkens naturally over time and becomes an amazing shade of red-brown that is very striking.
The natural color of cherry hardwood floor gives any home a unique and regal appearance. Brazilian cherry hardwood is imported from Brazil and is often known as an exotic hardwood, so it may be more expensive than other types of wood. You can typically find cherry hardwood in prefinished flooring as well as solid unfinished floor boards.
