Rare and highly sought after, Rosewood flooring is the prize of the flooring world because of its beauty and astounding durability. The color of rosewood is unmistakable, it begins as a pinkish hued hardwood and over time, with sun exposure, darkens to a dense, lustrous, red over the course of a few months. The change is drastic and the resulting flooring is a sight to behold.
With a rating of 3280 on the Janka hardness scale, Rosewood flooring is well over twice as strong as Red Oak. Its superior strength and durability make it a wonderful choice for highly used areas in the home or office. It is also a striking design touch for retail and commercial spaces.
Because Rosewood flooring is photosensitive, it is advised to leave it uncovered for the first few months. Since over the course of a few months, the sunlight will darken the floor to its trademark rose red hue, leaving the floor uncovered will help ensure even and full results.
