Exotically Beautiful

Unique hardwood looks put a new twist on the timelessly traditional floor.

More consumers than ever are taking a global view when selecting their flooring. The dramatic possibilities of such hardwood as bamboo, teak, and Brazilian cherry are bringing an entirely new look to flooring. Exotic hardwood flooring styles offer rich hues, varying graining pattern, and beautiful color variations. These unique products express elegance and style with a sense of adventure.

Character & Construction

The grain and construction of the wood are two important factors to consider when choosing a hardwood floor.

Character: Naturally present in hardwood, grain variations help determine a wood's style. Dramatic grain variations will produce a rustic style. Moderate grain variations are present in traditional woods. For a sleek, contemporary look, choose a select hardwood with very little color variation.

Construction: Solid or engineered, the construction of your hardwood can help determine where your floors should be placed. Solid is created from a single piece of wood that makes a beautiful floor that lasts for years. Engineered is made from several layers of wood and is designed to withstand higher levels of humidity so it can be placed in different areas of the home.
