Natural Exotic Wood Flooring

Hardwood only comes in oak and maple, right? Not anymore, although these woods have been a mainstay for the past 50 years, you can now have the spectacular look and beauty of exotic hardwood species whether it is for a house, a condominium or a commercial space. Hardwood floors no longer have to be stained to look like a magnificent exotic wood.

With the growth of engineered hardwood flooring, one can get an exotic wood for the floor for much less than before. Traditional solid exotic hardwood flooring for species such as Morado rosewood and Wenge would range from $30 per square foot and up. These woods are now available in significantly structurally stable glue down floor for half that price. Additionally, engineered hardwood floors are more environmentally friendly. Top quality engineered floors, like Listone Giordano, can be sanded up to 8 times and use significantly less exotic hardwood.

The variety of wood species in engineered hardwood flooring is vast. For example, the world's leading engineered flooring brand Listone Giordano carries 15 natural wood species. From managed forests in Brazil, Asia and Africa come breath taking woods that can truly transform any dcor. For an ultra clean and modern look the ebony colour of African Wenge is ideal.

It contrasts perfectly with white and other light colours and adds dramatic flair. If you prefer a rich and unique decor why not look at Morado rosewood. This extremely hard wood with its incredible grain has been installed in the prestigious Trump Tower Toronto sales centre. Asian Teak is not just for furniture anymore. This stunning wood is great for any room and its natural golden brown colour makes it versatile enough to fit with many colour themes.

If you prefer red wood tones the Doussie (African Cherry) and Cabreuva Vermelha (Santos Mahogany) have more life and a more elegant appearance than stained woods. And, because the wood is its natural colour, if you ever decide to refinish the floor, you don't have to worry about staining it again. With engineered hardwood flooring you can have a piece of Africa, Asia or South America in you home or office. For more information please visit www.europeanflooring.ca
