Many companies promote their many locations on the internet, dozens of warehouses or the fact they “represent” the best mills in South America.  The difference is those companies buy the flooring product out of someone elses warehouse here in America.  We directly import our flooring in 20′ ocean containers at 11,000 square feet a container.  We are financially invested in the process as stewartfloor has to pay it’s manufacturing partners days after the container sails from the port in South America.  You can realize the financial commitment and resources this takes to bring these products to market without a middleman being involved.  We are proud to offer you the finest flooring which is proven in the marketplace through distribution, dealers and homeowners alike.  We maintain warehouses in Chicago, Illinois; Greensboro, North Carolina; Baltimore, Maryland; and Oakland, California.

I hope you find the following photo journey interesting.

This is actually a very exciting time because these woods are being respected for what they are and not simply a low cost alternative or similar price alternative to domestic woods.  The reality is that these are more expensive woods today and you definitely have to want to pay the premium in order to attain these gorgeous dense rich hardwoods.  It seems correct that these woods have now truly become more boutique as stewartfloor believes they always should have been.  Why stain a wood when nature can provide the coloring you want naturally?

We continue to develop new species and will have some new options arriving in the coming months, stay tuned for announcements.  We also have some exciting new developments we are working on for our prefinished materials stateside.  All of our material we prefinish in North America arrives to Premiere Finishing & Coating and they unload our containers.  From there, they custom apply specific stewartfloor finishes and pack into our stewartfloor boxes.

We are direct container importers and own every square foot we sell.  If you bought from another online company, you may very well have received stewartfloor product in stewartfloor boxes as we have worked with many of these companies over the years.  Why not buy direct?  Call us today, we only import South American flooring manufactured in South America, we offer no Chinese manufactured products.

Featured in this video are various Braziian Hardwood Flooring species from Brazilian Cherry being prefinished to Santos Mahogany and Tigerwood installations.

With so many companies offering products for sale through a multitude of channels, do your homework.  First, does the company you plan on buying from actually own the material you want to buy from them?  The majority of companies online for example, do not own any stock themselves, they only buy the stock from an importer when you place your order from them.  How much do they know about the stock?  The quality of manufacturing, grading & finishing?  What if you have an issue?  Now there are other people involved in the transaction which were hidden from you previously.  At stewartfloor, we own everything we sell as we buy it directly from the owners of our manufacturing partners in South America.  We’ve been buying from these family owned manufacturers and importing for years.  Any of us can pay someone to build a nice looking website, but this doesn’t mean these companies have any real “skin in the game” or depth of knowledge about what they are offering for sale.  We inventory over a half million dollars worth of flooring at all times.  We import only exotic wood flooring manufactured in South America.

All of our products are Lacey Act compliant, we have our own Customs Bond with the USDA to import our products and we use only German & Swedish finishes on our products.  In other words, we really have “skin in the game.”

There is no middleman at stewartfloor and we know exactly what we are selling because we actually own it, have our own quality control in South America and have longterm relationships with only a few quality suppliers. We own and maintain hundreds of thousands of dollars of inventory in 4 warehouses across the United States.

We have many satisfied clients and you will find some of their testimionials in the blog section of our site.

1.  Consistency.  Our products are consistently manufactured and supplied by a small group of family owned operations throughout several countries in South America.  This means we have consistent products which fit together year after year.

2.  Inventory.  We are known for having stock available for immediate shipment.  Stewartfloor is known as one of the largest importers and stock holders of hard to find species such as Amendoim.

3.  Quality proven over years of selling flooring distributors, retailers and homeowners.  Stewartfloor has our own quality control personnel in South America providing additional technical support and control to our manufacturing partners.

4.  Environmental Responsibility.  As direct importers we have our own customs bond and only import products which have correct legal documentation.  It’s less expensive to not do things right, but this is not how we do business at stewartfloor.  All of our products conform to The Lacey Act in order to help prevent illegal logging.

5.  We have been experts in Exotic wood species for nearly 14 years!  We understand the proper installation and characteristics of these species.

Supply remains very challenging this logging season.  If you are in the market for a new gorgeous Brazilian Hardwood floor, please don’t wait as supplies are difficult and as the old adage goes “It’s a supply and demand thing.”

1.  Choose from an extensive range of the highest quality 3/4″ solid prefinished Exotic hardwoods with lengths upto 86″.  Lengths which are longer than many Asian imported products.
