What Is Exotic Hardwood Flooring?

Exotic Hardwood Flooring is crafted from tree species found outside of North America, often sourced from tropical regions like South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. These exotic woods stand out for their striking appearance, impressive hardness, and remarkable durability. Popular varieties include Brazilian cherry with its deep reddish tones, teak with its golden-brown warmth, tigerwood with dramatic stripes, and even purpleheart, famous for its vibrant hue.
Available in a range of finishes—matte, satin, or gloss—and textures from smooth to hand-scraped, Exotic Hardwood Flooring offers homeowners the ability to match their flooring perfectly to their personal style and home décor.

Top Features & Benefits

• Durability – Exotic hardwoods often rank high on the Janka hardness scale, meaning they resist dents, scratches, and wear, even in busy households.
  Side Note: While extremely durable, some species may require acclimation time before installation to adjust to your home’s humidity.
• Style Versatility – From rich mahogany tones to light golden hues, these floors suit both traditional and modern interiors.
• Easy Maintenance – With regular sweeping and occasional cleaning, Exotic Hardwood Flooring maintains its beauty for decades.
  Side Note: Some species may darken over time when exposed to sunlight, which can be a natural part of their aging process.
• Installation Advantages – Available in both solid and engineered formats, making it adaptable for various installation methods.
• Eco-Friendliness – Many exotic hardwoods are available from responsibly managed forests—look for products with FSC certification.

What Sets Exotic Hardwood Flooring Apart?

Unlike many domestic hardwoods, Exotic Hardwood Flooring offers unparalleled visual variety and a sense of luxury that instantly elevates a room. The unique grain patterns and natural color variation make each plank one-of-a-kind. Additionally, its density often provides superior wear resistance, meaning your floors can handle daily activity without losing their charm.

Best Areas of the Home

Exotic Hardwood Flooring is ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms—spaces where you want comfort underfoot and a touch of refined style. It also works beautifully in hallways, where its durability stands up to frequent foot traffic. However, it’s best to avoid installing exotic hardwood in bathrooms or laundry rooms, as high moisture levels can affect wood over time.
