ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT BR-111™ is firmly committed to preserving Brazil’s rain forest and renewing its natural resources. Strictly monitored by the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Natural Resources (IBAMA), BR-111™ promotes sustainable forest practices, securing timber that is selectively harvested and inspected under government guidelines.

management. Each tree is assessed for age and condition. Older trees, often

trees are replanted fostering sustainable forest practices and completing the
reforestation process. CHOOSING EXOTIC HARDWOOD FLOORS Prefinished solid or engineered, BR-111 offers you the ultimate in design possibilities.

Like Wine, Exotic Woods Get Richer Over Time Beautiful, long lasting, easy to maintain hardwood floors will change color with age. Light colored species such as Oak, Maple, Ash and Birch tend to darken just slightly over many years. Exotic species such as Rosewood and Brazilian Cherry can darken dramatically. These exotic species are more photosensitive to ultraviolet rays of light, causing a natural darkening until approximately one year after installation, sooner on floors that receive a lot of direct sunlight.
Tip: Do not put any rugs down on an exotic floor
for at least 90 days, and rearrange your furniture periodically in the first
year after installation, to allow your floor to darken evenly. |
