JATOBA TROPICAL HARDWOOD IS 1 OF THE BEST WOODS ON THE MARKET 

Jatoba tropical hardwood is widely used for exterior carpentry thanks to its durability. Commonly referred to as Brazilian Cherry, due to its similarity in color to domestic cherry, Jatoba is an incredibly strong wood. This fantastic tropical hardwood can also be installed as interior flooring, especially in high foot traffic areas where a high coefficient of friction is desired.

Length from 8′ to 20′

Jatoba Tropical Hardwood is among homeowners’ favorites, with its beautiful deep reddish tones. Its remarkable properties and attractive appearance make it one of a kind. This tropical hardwood is very hard compared to other wood species, such as oak. This is because it comes from the forests of Central and South America, where it withstands harsh weather conditions.

Maintenance: Like most hardwoods, jatoba can be air-dried or kiln-dried.

Preservation: To maintain Jatoba’s coloring, it is important to apply a UV-blocking sealer if Jatoba is installed outdoors.

Sustainable: The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) does not list jatoba in its appendices. The Forest Legality Initiative also states that jatoba can be exported traded internationally. International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN) does not list jatoba as an endangered species. In fact, it is listed as the species of the least concern.
