Brazilian Chestnut Flooring

Also known as Sucupira · Chontaquiro · Dark Cumaru · Tiete Chestnut

Sucupira, also known as Tiete Chestnut, is a great combination of the exotic and the practical, as it is a stunning wood that can easily stand up to a large amount of foot traffic. This Brazilian wood has rich red-brown, chocolate-brown, or light brown heartwood with yellowish or whitish tones and high luster. Sucupira possesses a medium to coarse texture with an interlocked grain, and with its dark warming tones, a nearby fireplace would be the perfect accompaniment for a Sucupira floor.
