t seems like our world is always shrinking. Technology lets us interact with people on the other side of the planet, and logistics make it possible to procure products from similar far-flung regions. To that end, we bring you this year’s Imported Wood Flooring Product Focus. Read on and learn what exotic flooring you can offer your customers.
Elegance Exotic Wood Flooring Elegance Exotic Wood Flooring says it offers a consumer-friendly selection of hardwood flooring. Popular species including prefinished Brazilian tigerwood, santos mahogany and cumaru are in stock for immediate shipment. Its newly opened North Carolina warehouse offers quick shipment to the East. What’s more, the company says its environmentally conscious sourcing makes these exotic species even more beautiful. www.elegancewoodflooring.com
Old Master Products Inc. Old Master Products’ primary source of woods for its Garrison Collection is the U.S. northern Appalachian mountain region. Other woods are imported from Canada, and it also imports oak from Europe for the French Connection line (pictured). The process continues with its manufacturing partners, where quality standards are strictly monitored by Old Master Products. www.thegarrisoncollection.com

Owens Flooring by Colonial Craft produces solidly engineered Brazilian cherry, sapele, eucalyptus, and santos mahogany flooring, which is available in standard Plankfloor widths up to 8 inches. Also, its Select line offers a natural factory finish for 3-, 4- and 5-inch widths. Because of its cross-ply lamination, the company says its Plankfloor is perfect for areas not normally recommended for 3⁄4-inch solid flooring.
Urbanfloor says its Italian-influenced Villa Caprisi line is ultrawide and extra-long. In fact, this European white oak engineered flooring is 9 1⁄2 inches wide and 87 inches long. The line is available in eight colors, with Brushed, Smoked and Hand-Carved textures. Also, the flooring is prefinished with an Easy-Care lacquer, and it includes a lifetime structural warranty.
