Unfinished Brazilian Hardwoods

Imported Brazilian hardwoods are among the hardest, most durable products you can use for your outdoor deck. In the last decade, we have seen a transition indoors as manufactures begin offering more tongue and groove floors, solid and engineered. On the whole these imported hardwood species are dense and resistant to scratches, rot, and insects. In general, tropical hardwoods can last from 30-50 years, and that is outdoors. In addition to this amazing longevity, they are so dense that they can easily withstand damage from pets, children, weather, and incidental wear-and-tear.

What about the downsides to using tropical hardwood? Imported Brazilian hardwoods are heavy! You will face challenges when lifting and working with this wood due to its density. Plus, since these species are so hard, they require special tools, like carbide-tipped saw blades, and special construction methods, like pre-drilling screw holes. And finally, remember most of the species, while not endangered, originate from countries or regions that may not practice sustainable forestry.
