Do you think the national big box stores are the only option for your new floor?  Hardwood Floors For Less?  Does it seem that they have the best prices?  Don’t allow yourself to believe it.  As you know, they spend millions and millions of dollars on advertising to attract clients.  As we all know, nothing is for free and those costs have to be included in their products.  We don’t have this overhead!

All of our products are purchased directly from the manufacturer and imported by us.  We are experts at what we do and are very educated in what we sell and regarding the competition, in many cases we know exactly where they buy their flooring.  We encourage you to inform yourself and to compare the quality, service and pricing as you are likely to be surprised.  Top quality flooring delivered at truly direct prices is what we do everyday.

Stewartfloor Flooring being Boxed in Paraguay

Does the person you are speaking to actually own the flooring he/she is proposing to sell to you?  Do they have any investment outside of buying the flooring from an importer and selling it to you?  Here at Stewartfloor we are involved in every process along the way.  I purchase directly from the manufacturer in the country of origin.  We have coordinated a cohesive package of the most unique and sought after tropical species available and coordinated all the trim work to match for your convenience.  All products are run to my specification in Brazil, Paraguay and Peru based on my 13 years of experience in the Exotic wood business and processed by a few of the finest manufacturer partners.  These partners have been selected based on their quality approach and respect for nature.  All products are finished to our specifications, packaged with foam between the layers to protect your investment and packaged in our Stewartfloor branded box.  Do we have to do it like this, no, but it is my personal commitment to you.

Why should you buy your prefinished exotic wood flooring from stewartfloor?  I am a direct importer and actually control the quality from start to finish.  Here I am at our North American prefinish partner inspecting and “racking out” some Brazilian Teak/Cumaru which is being run.  At stewartfloor, we know what we sell and sell what we know! As you can see, I prefer to take a hands on approach to what I do so that I can be properly informed when discussing with my clients.

Brazilian Walnut flooring is the most durable floor here at stewartfloor.  Ipe is the common name for this species and it is found throughout South America.  Lapacho is also often included in this general marketing name and is found in Paraguay.  Lapacho belongs to the same botanical family as Ipe, they are brothers.  This species is made up of warm brown tones as well as some reddish and green tones depending on where it was grown and harvested.  This species is equally suited in a traditional or rustic interior design as well as a very modern urban environment.  Truly a miracle of nature, it is Class A Fire Rated believe it or not which is the same as concrete & steel!  We offer our Brazilian Walnut Prefinished Flooring in a lower gloss finish to bring out the fine graining inherent in this beauty.  Call today to check our inventory of Brazilian Walnut Prefinished Premium/First Grade flooring and accessories.  Beauty and durability all in the same pacakge!
