Bubinga flooring comes from a species of tree originating in central and western regions of Africa.

Beyond its beauty, a Bubinga floor brings durability to the table in the form of a solid Janka hardness rating of 2,630 and a high resistance to termite attack. As Bubinga floors age, their brownish-tones will darken. The wood’s texture is fine and even, and is rated as easy to work with.
