One of our top 3 product choices and among the densest, hardest woods available. Ranging from a medium tan brown to a dark reddish brown with distinctive black striping, Brazilian Teak suits both residential and commercial installations — the choice for those who prefer brown tones over warmer Brazilian Cherry. We offer only clear grade in prefinished and unfinished solid formats.
Premium/Clear Grade Only
Brazilian Teak (Cumaru) is one of our top 3 product choices, known for its exceptional hardness and durability. One of the densest woods available, it is a great choice in both residential and commercial installations. Customers who prefer a more brown look to their floor over Brazilian Cherry typically choose Brazilian Teak. We offer only one superior quality grade — clear grade — in prefinished and unfinished formats.
Brazilian Teak varies from a medium tan brown to a dark reddish brown, with some pieces displaying a black striping. Unlike most exotics, it undergoes very little color change due to sunlight, and the clear grade offers very minimal color and grain variation for a consistent, beautiful floor.
All products are clear grade only. Random lengths as noted.

3/4″ Solid · Factory Finished · Micro-beveled four sides
Prefinished Brazilian Teak is our most popular Cumaru format. With the latest milling and finishing technology, we offer prefinished Brazilian Teak with micro-beveled edges on all four sides. Brazilian Teak is approximately three times harder than domestic oak, making it an outstanding choice for heavy-traffic residential and commercial applications.
3/4″ Solid · Square Edge Available
Unfinished Brazilian Teak is an outstanding choice for new construction. Many builders insist on square edge material, and unfinished works better in the dirty new-construction environment. We sell only clear grade — select grade is not available — so your floors always have color variation within an acceptable range. We dry our Brazilian Teak to 7% moisture content and mill it comparably to NOFMA standards — the contractor’s choice.

Our mills in Brazil use sustainable forestry practices — environmentally and socially responsible forestry. Sustainable forestry means the amount removed will not exceed the amount that will grow back between harvests. Our tongue-and-groove profile always engages properly with minimal overwood.
Brazilian Teak has a very muted color change that occurs over several months. Unlike most exotic hardwoods that undergo dramatic shifts, Cumaru darkens only slightly — and the result is a more uniform color range across the floor rather than increased variation.
Our clear grade Brazilian Teak has very minimal color and grain variation. Its color varies from a medium tan brown to a dark reddish brown with some pieces offering a black striping. It will darken slightly with exposure to light over a few months.
Brazilian Teak is usually color sorted into medium and dark range selections: the tan brownish tones are offered in the regular (or medium) selection, while the dark reddish browns are offered in the dark selection. Over time the color range mutes into a more uniform tone within the range offered.
Real installations of Brazilian Teak flooring by Brazilian Direct customers.
The floors are gorgeous. The wood was nearly flawless. Our installer is so impressed with the quality of the wood and how well its milled and fitting together. I was SO nervous about making such a large investment over the internet, but it's really paid off. Both my builder and installer are wanting your website information as they are both willing to endorse purchase with you after what they have seen. It's funny because my installer was incredibly skeptical at first and told me that something that seems too good to be true usually is...and I have to say that generally I agree with him. However in this case I really feel like we have struck gold.
