Cherry wood is prized by carpenters for its variation in tone and dramatic color change over time. Installing cherry hardwood flooring in your home or office brings all of the drama and beauty of this cherished wood into your space. Cherry is a fairly soft hardwood that’s easy to work with. That’s why cherry is more common in homes than in high-traffic businesses. Cherry hardwood flooring is coveted for its natural satin glow, wavy grain and variety of colors that alternate between pinks, yellows and tans before transforming into deep, dark reddish-browns.

Those who love cherry hardwood flooring, love it for its dramatic color changes. Cherry is photosensitive and will undergo dramatic changes in color when exposed to direct sunlight. Parts of the floor less exposed to sunlight will change over time but not as quickly or deeply. This is the drama of cherry hardwood flooring. It’s almost like a living natural organism, able to breathe new life into an old space with its ever-changing palate of ambers, reds and browns. Perhaps that’s why there are so many fans of cherry hardwood flooring. If it has to be cherry, make sure it’s cherry hardwood from BuildDirect—we have the best cuts at the best prices.
