Brazilian Cherry Flooring - Versatile, Durable And Stunning

If you have an area in your home that consists old wood floors that are in serious need of repair, you have two choices. One, you can undertake a rather laborious wood floor repair task or you can replace the old floor with something fresh and new. Considering the amount of labor involved in sanding and staining an old floor that may also be warped, and cracked, most homeowners today are choosing to install a new wood floor to give the room a dramatic and complete make-over.

There are many types of wood flooring from which to choose but if you want something a bit different than maple or pine, consider Brazilian cherry flooring. A floor made from Brazilian cherry is very hard and resistant against denting and scuffs compared to other wood flooring, making it a very popular choice. This flooring has a lovely, rich color that ranges from a dark orange to a reddish brown-with a medium to course texture. Its color become gradually darker and richer with age which further enhances its beauty over the years.  This hardwood is harvested from Brazilian cherry trees which grow to a height of around 100 feet and are on average, five feet in diameter. The tree grows abundantly on hillsides and near water in Brazil, Peru, Bolivia and Mexico.

Brazilian cherry floors are versatile and look great in formal and casual settings and it matches well with most interior décors. It is available stained, unstained and in solid or engineered styles. Many people opt for a solid Brazilian cherry floor as it can be refinished while the engineered type does better in areas that experience a good deal of humidity and moisture. This type of flooring normally comes in planks of three and seven inch widths.

A hardwood floor of Brazilian cherry looks even more striking when the surrounding walls are styled. For instance, installing decorative ceramic tiles to the bottom third of the hardwood floored room is an excellent way to draw the room together and give it a warm and distinctive ambiance. Tiles with a light background and some deep color around the edges tend to work best with this luxuriously rich wooden flooring. It is recommended to take samples of the hardwood floor along with you when shopping for tiles so you can lay the two next to each other to see how well they coordinate with one another.

You should hire an interior decorator - It seems like your trying to create a certain style! Who asked for this time of purchase is to sell more expensive things rather than explain fashion ideals - which are obviously worried!

Can you spot a wooden chair that has turned gray?

I want the color is the original as when I bought (Brazilian cherry). Do I have any hope of getting back the original color? Thanks!

Use a pressure washer (gently) and some of trisodium phosphate (TSP) from the hardware store to clean it. When clean and dry, use an oil finish (such as Tung oil) or transparent polyurethane rated for outdoor use.
