Brazilian Cherry Solid Prefinished 5 1/2" Flooring

Our widest solid option, the 5 1/2" plank delivers true furniture-grade flooring that transforms rooms into showcases. This extra-wide dimension significantly reduces visible seam lines, creating an almost monolithic wood surface that emphasizes the species' extraordinary beauty. Brazilian Cherry's renowned color evolution—from fresh-milled tan and salmon tones to deep, rich mahogany-red—becomes a living feature of your home. This width requires commitment to humidity control but rewards that attention with unparalleled visual impact. Ideal for high-end custom homes, formal dining rooms, and spaces where the floor is intended to be a primary architectural element.
