The Basics of Brazilian Walnut Flooring

Brazilian Walnut is an exotic wood floor that is imported from Brazil and other neighboring countries in South America. It is a rain forest wood and is world-renowned for it’s incredible hardness and durability.

It is for that hardness that many families choose Ipe when shopping for new floors because it can hold up to household activities better than nearly any other kind of wood floors. As already mentioned, Brazilian Walnut achieved a 3680 on the Janka Hardness chart, making it nearly 3x harder than Northern Red Oak.

What do Brazilian Walnut Floors Look Like?

Well that’s a good question! Ipe is unlike nearly any other species of hardwood when it comes to colors. This wood has been said to contain planks from dark chocolate brown (almost black) to red, green, purple and even yellow and of course many shades of brown. That is not to say that all Brazilian Walnut floors are like that, since like all types of wood flooring, the color is very much dictated by the region in which it was grown and other factors that contribute to the woods actual color after sawing and drying the lumber.

Purchased 36 Hickory treads of 3-1/4th thickness x 13'' x40" and 2 big landings . These are non-butcher blocks with regular face grain on top, bottom and front. They offered me incredible pricing. I searched and spoke to may of them, none could offer me these specs, all of them were offering various species with butcher block design. Katharine and Eric provided exceptional service from quote to finish. Sent me the product in 6 weeks as promised with well packaged. Product and finish quality was amazing with no damage. My GC and Interior decorator was amazed too. I'm such a happy customer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I purchased red oak for a 24’ x 14’ floor about four years ago and it has held up incredibly well. The flooring came in bundles with a perfect mix of lengths. We are so happy we are now planning to do two additional rooms and a couple hallways!

I recently purchased some flooring that I had been searching high and low for. Most suppliers that did have what I was looking for didn’t have the quantity that was needing. Not only did this group come through on the material side of things but their customer service through the whole purchasing and shipping processes was like second to none. Communication and follow through were exactly as they said it would be. We did have some material damaged by the freight carrier but they were quick to work with me through that and come to a viable resolution. Sarah, whom, I had the pleasure of working with is a true asset to the company and was awesome to work with. We could not have been more pleased, thank you!

I recently purchased red oak engineered flooring that I couldn’t be happier with. Sarah Richards was my sales person and what a fantastic job she did. I was never out of the loop, she always gave me updates on when and where my order was in the process. I was told it would take about 5 weeks to manufacture my flooring which I was ok with but it really only took about 3 weeks. This is a great place to do business with.

Outstanding customer service! I recently purchased flooring from them online trying to match my existing flooring, which was installed years ago. However, the two floorings did not match to my satisfaction. Thanks to Sarah and her team at customer service, they diligently resolved the problem in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to use this company again.

I was looking for some hard to find strip oak floor material and nobody carried the specific boards that would match the flooring already in my home. Upon contacting this company I was directed to Eric. He shipped me some samples and was able to accommodate my shipping time frame for the order. I thought I was dealing with a sales rep only to find out from someone answering the phones there that he owned the business! My order was not a large one and I was very impressed with the customer service from the company's owner. He leads by example!

This is one of the few companies that carried the thin strip red oak. We order a standard grade, the product came from the states, and delivery was timely and easy. I'm happy with the product, thrilled it matches our existing wood floor to the tee, and good communication between all parties involved. Overall a great experience, I will gladly consider all flooring purchases from this company.

Pricing was better than my contractor could find and the product was exactly what I wanted. There was an issue with shipping (1/2) of my order was sent to the wrong place and some pieces were damaged. Customer service jumped on it quickly and the issue was corrected to my satisfaction. There was more scrap than expected in the 'character grade' flooring, but it still came out to less than 10%.
