DOES HARDWOOD FLOORING CHANGE COLOR OVER TIME?
A. Yes. Wood matures and gain darker, richer tone over time. Some woods change more than others. This is natural and part of the charm of real wood gaining its “patina.” Typically, exotic woods show this change much faster than domestic wood. For example; if you choose Brazilian Cherry, the planks will have a caramel tone that will turn into reddish/brown tone within three months to a year. TIP: Do not place area rugs over exotic wood floors until the wood reaches its darkest tone. Completely blocking light and air flow from the surface of the wood will not allow it to mature and darken. If you have flat base furniture such as a chest with no legs; install 1″ legs on the bottom to allow air flow. Please call us or drop by our showroom for illustration.
