About Brazilian Ebony:
Brazilian Ebony, because of it dark tone, is one of the few wood species used in flooring which maintains it’s true color over time. The heartwood is the part most often used and it can be anywhere from jet black to deep maroon, to a chocolate brown or even a purplish black-brown color.
Occasionally there are light streaks throughout the wood. Brazilian Ebony’s sapwood when freshly cut displays these pink streaks which will deepen to a deep red-brown color over time when exposed to sun or air.
Brazilian Ebony has a fine grain that falls in a variable pattern that can be anywhere from straight to very curly.
This flooring choice is extremely durable and is ideal for high traffic areas. It is dent resistant and rated much harder than North American hardwoods on the Janka scale due to it’s density.
Brazilian Ebony makes a dramatic statement and is an elegant choice for high-end residential and commercial spaces.

About Cumaru:
The sapwood of cumaru is very similar to the heartwood, which ranges from medium to dark brown in color, sometimes with a reddish or purplish hue, with some pieces streaked with yellowish or greenish brown.
Over time the color of Brazilian Teak (as it is sometimes referred to) will “flatten out” slightly. Cumaru’s color tends to lighten with exposure to light. The species has a fine, uniform interlocked grain with very small open pores.
Cumaru is extremely durable and decay resistant. Although, it is not totally impervious to some insect attacks.
Cumaru is relatively inexpensive and represents a great deal given its strength and hardness.
