Cherry and Brazilian Cherry Flooring Installation in Breedsville, MI

Cherry and Brazilian Cherry Flooring Installation in Breedsville, MI

These two share a name and almost nothing else. American cherry is soft, around 950 on the Janka scale, dents easily and makes a poor kitchen floor. Brazilian cherry, or jatoba, is around 2350, among the hardest floors commonly installed anywhere.

Both darken with UV exposure, and Brazilian cherry darkens dramatically over its first year. That has a practical consequence people are rarely warned about: a rug left in one place during that period leaves a permanent lighter rectangle when it finally moves.

Breedsville, MI Hardwood Floor Installation fits both across Breedsville, MI and will tell you which one you are actually being quoted, because the names get used loosely and the difference in hardness is enormous.

Move rugs around for the first year on Brazilian cherry. The colour shift is real, fast, and permanent where light does not reach.
