| Photosensitivity | Brazilian Cherry is a highly photosensitive wood. It will darken the most within the first 90 days after exposure to light. After 90 days the darkening process will slow, but like all woods it will never completely stop. Area rugs and low lying furniture should be kept off new floors for as long as possible to avoid discolored areas. It is also recommended these items be moved periodically to allow the covered areas to darken. |
