When you look in different homes, you will usually see either pine or oak floors. Without thinking too much about it, you might think these are the only types of wood available for flooring. However, there are various types of flooring that available. Here is a small list of wood types that are available for floors:

- American Black Cherry
- American Black Walnut
- Yellow Birch
- Red Oak
- White Ash
- White Oak
- Hard Maple
- Santos Mahogany
- Brazilian Cherry
- Brazilian Teak
- Brazilian Walnut
- Ebony
Brazilian Cherry, Teak, and Walnut are expensive woods that are available for import. They are very popular in Brazil and other countries in South America.

Ebony is another expensive and exotic flooring type that is not very popular in residential homes. However, it is noted for its dark beauty and hardness.

Mahogany is not as expensive as Ebony, Brazilian Cherry, Brazilian Teak, or Brazilian Walnut and it is not as hard either. But it is hard to deny the beauty of these floors.

The other woods on the list are more popular than the preceding woods mentioned. Each has their own advantages.
