Brazilian Teak Flooring

Also known as Cumaru · Brazilian Chestnut · Southern Chestnut · Shihuahuaco

Cumaru, commonly called Brazilian Chestnut, is a tough and dense wood imported from Brazil that has an irregular, somewhat interlocked grain and wavy, course texture. Because of its density, it is very resistant to termites and decay. Cumaru’s heartwood is a medium brown with distinctive tan shades that compliment one another in with tonal warmth to create a relaxing feeling that’s great to come home to.
