Amendoim What Is It And How Does It Stack Up To Other Exotic Hardwoods

Posted on February 3, 2023July 6, 2022 by Will Turner

As exotic hardwood floors continue to gain in popularity, Amendoim is sprouting up as a popular hardwood flooring option. But what is it exactly, and where does it come from?

Amendoim is commonly referred to as Brazilian Oak, although another species, Tauari, is also called Brazilian Oak, which has lead to a great deal of confusion among the flooring industry.

If you love wood flooring at home, you will also love wood flooring at the workplace. The only problem is that untreated wood flooring is not really suitable for high traffic areas. For this you need something special, like Johnson Forever Tuff flooring.

When it comes to wood flooring, we have something like the Janka hardness scale, which measures the hardness of different types of wood. The Brazilian Walnut, for example, is one of the hardest types of wood around. What if you could treat the surface of a Brazilian Walnut floor with special material to make it even smoother, harder and more resistant to scratches?

This is exactly what Johnson have done with their Forever Tuff Flooring: They have taken a selection of very hard, tough woods (like the Brazilian Walnut mentioned above), created a wood veneer and then covered it with multiple layers of developed created resin.
