				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/hardwood-floors/triangulo"><img class="alignright" title="Triangulo Hardwood Flooring" src="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/media/catalfamo/articles/Triangulo-01.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="234" /></a><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/hardwood-floors/triangulo">Triangulo Hardwood Flooring</a> is environmentally conscious, in addition to committed to making a beautiful, quality product.

<p>Triangulo Hardwood flooring comes in Exotic Solid wood flooring and in Engineered Hardwood flooring lines.</p>
<p>Triangulo Exotic Solid wood flooring is made with 3/4&#8243; thick solid wood, and you can find this flooring assembled with tongue and groove sides. Note that the random nature of Triangulo Hardwood flooring’s exotic solid hardwood flooring will ensure that your flooring will not look like your neighbor’s floor.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/hardwood-floors/triangulo"><img class="alignright" title="Triangulo exotic wood floors" src="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/media/catalfamo/articles/Triangulo-02.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="244" /></a>As many as 9 coats of aluminum oxide will coat your beautiful Triangulo Exotic Solid wood flooring to ensure that your flooring will last throughout the ages, in addition to enhancing the wood’s natural beauty. One advantage that the solid wood flooring carries is the ability to be re-sanded and refinished over many years. Your floor may even outlast your home!</p>
<p>Some of the woods that are available through the <a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/hardwood-floors/triangulo">Triangulo Exotic Solid wood flooring</a> line include Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba), Tigerwood, Brazilian Chestnut, Amendoim, and Brazilian Teak.

Then you may want to consider <a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/_library/search.asp?qtxt=Amendoim&amp;dom=2&amp;max=60&amp;sort=sales">Amendoim</a>. It is not an endangered, but this South American tree, (grown primarily in Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil) can be difficult to find. The rich color and  limited availability makes Amendoim a higher-end, exotic species for flooring that will surely &#8220;wow&#8221; those who walk upon it.</p>
<p>Unlike most other South American species, Amendoim does not darken in color over time. This flooring naturally showcases a pinkish red finish that brings an elegant beauty to any room. Applying lacquer or oil-based finishes can deepen its color over time  to help preserve its rich pinkish red color.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/_library/search.asp?qtxt=Amendoim&amp;dom=2&amp;max=60&amp;sort=sales">Amendoim</a> is rarer than many other Brazilian wood species harvested today. It weighs about 3 pounds per square foot, with a Janka hardness of 1,912, making it a very heavy and durable product. Amendoim resists heavy traffic, dings and dents very well. This sturdy exotic species remains fairly easy to install when using either hand or power tools, as it glues and nails with ease. Unlike some exotics, Amendoim is an agreeable wood that polishes and stain with an attractive finish.</p>
<p>The most difficult aspect of working with this pinkish exotic is its limited availability. Those wishing to install Amendoim in the United States will most likely have to settle with standard, pre-milled lengths and widths. Typically Amendoim is imported in bundles measuring 7-feet long and widths of 2¼&#8221; and 5&#8243;. Due to South American localities trying to support their local economies with milling factories, it is very difficult to obtain the lumber of Amendoim in this country. While Amendoim lumber can be imported, it will cost almost double.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.catalfamogallery.com/_library/search.asp?qtxt=Amendoim&amp;dom=2&amp;max=60&amp;sort=sales">Amendoim</a> an attractive flooring option. The dense nature of this species, its finish versatility and installation flexibility make it a perfect fit for any space needing elegant durability.</p>
