We are in the process of deciding on the solid wood flooring for our new build.Having previously installed Matai flooring in our previous home I am reluctant to use a softwood again, even if the look outweighed the angst it caused. Love the look of Kwila and Jarrah and can't decide which might wear better.Have also seen a product called Akwa from the Solomon Islands which looks great but has a moderate durability. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with any of these products!

Jarrah for me, looks like a dance floor, probably even harder than kwila, darker. both very nice, and teach your guests to remove shoes, stones under shoes, like high heels,are harder than any timber.

Can you still get Jarrah!I thought they stripped all the trees out over a decade ago.I hope it's from a certified sustainable source!
