Brazilian Cherry Solid Prefinished 2 1/4" Flooring

The 2 1/4" width delivers a classic strip flooring aesthetic that has been a hallmark of American homes for over a century. This narrower plank creates a more linear, traditional look that works beautifully in formal dining rooms, libraries, and historic renovations. The visual rhythm of the tighter seams draws the eye and can make rooms appear longer. Each board is precision-milled from clear grade Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) and finished with our 7-step UV-cured aluminum oxide coating system, providing exceptional durability rated at 2350 on the Janka hardness scale—182% harder than Red Oak. The micro-beveled edges on all four sides create clean shadow lines that help mask minor subfloor imperfections while adding visual depth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 2 1/4" width cost similar to wider planks?

Narrower boards require more pieces per square foot and more milling precision, so production costs are comparable to wider options.

Can I mix this with my existing Brazilian Cherry floor?

Yes, but color matching aged flooring is challenging. Brazilian Cherry darkens significantly over time. Sand and refinish the entire floor together for best results.
