3 Exotic Species to Consider When Laying Engineered Wood Flooring

Wooden flooring has always been one of the preferred flooring choices of homeowners and designers. It not only exudes luxury and sophistication, but also imparts warmth and a serene essence of nature throughout any space. Besides, wood flooring complements all types of decor, be it classic, contemporary, or eclectic. Given the high cost of solid hardwood flooring, it’s best to opt for a much affordable engineered wooden flooring that offers the same aesthetic appeal as solid wood floors and even better performance. Here are some of the exotic tree species that you can opt for when installing engineered wood flooring

1. Teak

Teak engineered wood flooring is one of the most popular classic flooring choices that offer a luxurious touch at an affordable price. Teak is famed for its unique colour variation, ranging from light yellow-brown to dark golden-brown hues.  Also, being rich in natural oils, teak offers a lasting shine that too without any additional treatment. The best thing about teak wood flooring is its exceptional durability and its natural resistance to rot, pests, insects, and extreme weather conditions. 

2. Walnut 

The rich chocolate brown coloured walnut wooden flooring (also known as American or Black Walnut Wood flooring) is a treat for the eyes. It’s dark, rich and deep tones make it an ideal flooring for large and expansive spaces. Being a softer species of hardwood, walnut requires utmost care and attention, which is why it’s best to install it in low-traffic areas. In the event that you are looking for a tougher variation in walnut flooring, you can go for Brazilian Walnut.
