Brazilian Cherry, or Jatoba, is one of the most sought after tradewoods in the world. Like its name suggests, it’s only available in exotic locales like Central America and Southern Mexico–among others. And like most exotic woods, Brazilian Cherry is very hard. This hardness makes working with Brazilian Cherry a bit of a difficulty. It’s worth the extra effort, however, because Brazilian Cherry Hardwood Floors are one of the most beautiful flooring options available. When freshly cut, Brazilian Cherry heartwood shows a pinkish salmon red to a darker orange brown–which darkens to a reddish brown with dark streaks as it ages. The sapwood is generally lighter, gray or white in appearance.

Like all woods Brazilian Cherry Hardwood Floors will undergo a color change when exposed to sunlight. But in this case, the color change will be more noticeable. These floors will undergo a very pronounced color change after installation. Several factors can affect this, however. The first would be the amount of exposure to direct sunlight the floor is actually getting. Partial sunlight or dimmed light (as if through shades or blinds) may create a dulled effect on the actual coloration variance. Direct sunlight will usually transform the floor from its pre-alteration to the rich, reddish colors that are more associated with this attractive wood. Depending on the type of finish that is applied to the wood (or if there is even a finish applied at all) the speed and severity of the change will vary.
