Today, the varieties of wood floors which have long been in use still enjoy justifiable popularity for residences and commercial spaces. This includes traditional domestic solid hardwood wood floors made from oak, cherry, maple, ash, and walnut among other species. But technology, innovation, and imagination have expanded the choices in wood flooring to an even greater degree.
Even more recently, exotic species such as jatoba (AKA Brazilian cherry), toona, taun, and tigerwood have made a splash in the wood flooring industry, offering even more choices for look and durability.
