How Do You Install Brazilian Cherry Hardwood Floors?
Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) is an exotic hardwood, imported from South America, that can be crafted into beautiful and durable flooring planks. Hand-scraped and planed with precision, the boards interlock using a tongue-and-groove system to create a wood floor of lasting warmth and beauty. Flooring planks are available in 7 to 10 foot lengths and widths that vary from 3- to 12-inches wide. Brazilian Cherry is a beautiful, fairly easy wood to work with. Careful planning and attention to detail allow you to install an elegant floor that lasts for decades. Consult a professional flooring contractor if you have any doubts about your ability to install the flooring yourself. Your new Brazilian Cherry wood floor represents a substantial investment in your home. The quality of the installation impacts the value of your property. Ask to review a portfolio of the contractor’s previous installations, and request references. If you’re an experienced carpenter, you can install the floor yourself fol
