Exotic Hardwood Flooring

Our JG Architectural brand Exotic Hardwood Collection encompasses some of the most unique and beautiful species in the world. Most of these species have high Janka ratings, making these wood flooring products many times more dent-resistant than standard oaks.

All of our tongue and groove (T&G) exotic flooring is premium grade, environmentally responsible, and manufactured to the highest standards. Many of these products are available 100% FSC Certified, making them ideal for LEED Certified and Green Building projects. Using our FSC certified exotics can contribute to points in the LEED certification of a building project (MRc7).

Our prefinished T&G flooring has micro-beveled edges, and a 35% gloss aluminum oxide-based finish to perfectly match our prefinished medallions. The finishing process we use is the most advanced on the market, balancing clear presentation of the wood grain with optimal durability. Both prefinished and unfinished product is available as a solid or engineered plank.

While we regularly stock an assortment of hardwood species, we have 23+ distinct exotic species available for custom orders, many of which have FSC certification- from Brazilian Cherry to Patagonian Ebony. The wood species listed below are regularly stocked in our Maryland location:
