Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) is known for its hardness and durability. This exotic hardwood is a great choice for both residential and commercial installations. Brazilian Cherry from South America has a brownish-red colour which darkens from a tan/salmon colour to a deep, reddish brown.
Brazilian Cherry may be used for interior finishing such as beams, rafters/joists, wooden planks, door frames, parquet and flooring boards, in external engineering such as sleepers and double tee junction, frames, decorating wooden sheets, furniture and others.
Brazilian Cherry is extremely dense at 228% as hard as red oak (2820 on the Janka scale vs. 1260 for red oak).
