The first thing that you need to research when shopping for exotic wood flooring is the type of wood you want to use.
You can select from exotic woods like Brazilian cherry, bamboo, mahogany and Brazilian chestnut.
Each type of exotic wood has its own hardness rating and its own hues and grain patterns.
You should request samples of the woods that you are interested in so that you have a better idea of what they will look like after the flooring is installed.
After you have selected the type of exotic wood that you want to install your next decision that you will need to make is whether you want to purchase imported hardwood flooring or if you want to purchase an exotic wood laminate.
The laminate flooring will allow you to create a rich looking floor without having to spend as much money, and without having to buy wood panels that are harvested from trees in environmentally sensitive areas.
Your next decision to make about your exotic wood flooring is whether you want to hire someone to install it for you or if you want to try and install it yourself.
If you plan on installing your exotic hardwood flooring yourself then you may want to look for pre-finished planks.
This way you wonÕt have to sand and finish your planks after you install them.
If you want to install a laminate floor then you can get a click together glue less model.
These are the easiest laminate floor types to install.
