Our comments on the species
Brazilian Cherry ( also known as Jatoba in timber trading circles ) is a very popular species of timber from South America. Dense and durable, we at Westwood Floorings started installing Brazilian Cherry for our customers since the year 2001, probably for the first time in India. Brazilian Cherry timber is normally pinkish in colour when installed and will turn more darker as it get oxidised by contact with air. Being a South American species, it is very dense and can take quite a few knocks. Expect some colour variation on the floor. Available Flooring Options: Blocks, thick Strip & Plank Flooring
