North America has contributed truly beautiful flooring options in American walnut and cherry species. If you are in North America, you are also making an eco-friendly choice by buying flooring that doesn’t have to travel as far to reach you.

American Walnut or Black Walnut trees are a species of tree native to eastern North America. Its wood is popular in flooring due to its dark colored heartwood. American walnut is a very tough and durable type of wood and planks of the wood have been known to last in excess of 140 years. While the wood is very strong it is still easy to work with, split and turn into attractive flooring.

American Cherry is actually one of the softer woods that you can turn into flooring but at the same time the wood shows excellent flexibility and shock resistance. The wood is very easy to work with and has been a popular choice in ornate cabinets, furniture and even different types of instruments. Unfinished Cherry is famous for the luscious reddish brown tones and its satin-like finish and adds an elegant statement to any room.
