3/4" Solid · Factory Finished · Micro-beveled four sides
Prefinished Brazilian Teak is our most popular Cumaru format, featuring micro-beveled edges on all four sides. Brazilian Teak is approximately 3 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 excellent choice for new construction. Builders prefer square edge material and unfinished performs better in the active new-construction environment. We sell only clear grade — select grade is not available — ensuring consistent color within acceptable ranges. Dried to 7% moisture content and milled to NOFMA standards.
Brazilian Teak (Cumaru) is one of our top 3 product choices, distinguished by exceptional hardness and density. It is one of the densest woods available and suits both residential and commercial installations. Those who prefer brown tones over warmer Brazilian Cherry tones often choose Brazilian Teak.
The color ranges from a medium tan brown to a dark reddish brown, with some pieces offering distinctive black striping. The clear grade offers very minimal color and grain variation, ensuring a consistent and beautiful floor.
Brazilian Direct employs sustainable forestry practices, including environmentally and socially responsible sourcing from mills in Brazil that remove only what will regenerate between harvests.
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.
The clear grade Brazilian Teak exhibits very minimal color and grain variation. The initial color palette ranges from a medium tan brown to a dark reddish brown, with some pieces offering a black striping effect that adds visual character.
After a few months of light exposure, the floor will darken slightly and the overall color range becomes more cohesive. This minimal color change is one of the reasons customers choose Brazilian Teak — it largely avoids the sun-bleaching or dramatic color shifts common in other exotic species.
