Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring is made from one of the hardest of all the hardwoods in the world. Also known as jatoba, this remarkable wood makes for a spectacularly beautiful floor. So hard is Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring, that strong, sharp tools are a must to install this magnificent wood successfully. But it's worth every extra bit of effort. Like it's namesake, this exotic cherry hardwood tends to be photosensitive. Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring will start off in hues of amber and salmon pink but as it ages this floor will darken to a deep reddish brown, and it ages rather quickly.
The parts of your Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring exposed to direct sunlight will darken faster than the parts with little or no direct exposure, but all will change to luscious deep colors over time. This wood is a very tight and densely grained wood with natural oils that give Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring its lovely sheen.
