LOOKING CLOSER AT TIGERWOOD FLOORING

 


Exotic wood flooring remains a popular option for homeowners, and Tigerwood flooring is among the most sought after styles for South American exotic woods. Tigerwood offers dramatic color and superb durability, perfect for creating a statement.

What additional benefits can you expect from this wood species? And why should you choose Tigerwood over other wood types out there?

Advantages of Tigerwood Flooring

A deep, dark brown streaking across a tan or deep orange background color characterizes this timber species, also known as Brazilian Koa or Zebrawood. It is reasonable that many refer to it as Tigerwood, given that the different look. That is also much more manageable than the name - Astronium fraxinifolium.

This wood is even-grained and fairly consistent, growing straight and strong in South American soil. Regularly exported from Brazil, Tigerwood may also come from Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia.

Tigerwood provides a dramatic look to any ground, with rich oranges and browns setting off other colors in the room. Be aware that this timber darkens when subjected to sun, and the color variance will mellow with time. This phenomenon is not unusual for particular South American exotics.

How to Care For Tigerwood Flooring

Much like all hardwood flooring, Brazilian Koa should be well cared for in order to optimize appearance and durability. Normal vacuuming removes small debris and grime which can mark the wood finish. Tigerwood is hard wearing, making it an perfect selection for high traffic areas such as hallways and living rooms. But much like all genuine wood floors, it's important to wash up spills immediately to conserve the ground.

Some people prefer to set up light-filtering sheers and window treatments, so as to cut the darkening that occurs with this exotic wood.

Installation Tips

The potency of Brazilian Koa presents an benefit to customers, but it may also challenge the DIY crowd. Carbon-tipped saw blades are required to work with this type of wood, meaning your average household tools might not fit the bill for this type of hardwood floor installation.

Consult your flooring seller about any special tools needed for the setup of Tigerwood flooring when tackling the challenge your self or hire a pro with experience dealing with exotic wood species. The attractive coloring and hard wearing power make this an excellent choice for modern homes, and with the appropriate care, you can anticipate Tigerwood Brazilian Koa floors to look great for years.
