Prefinished Exotic Hardwood Flooring

Nova is one of the leaders in prefinished imported exotic hardwood flooring. We work with state of the art factories in South America and Asia, specializing in the highest quality prefinished solid hardwood flooring available.

Our partners in manufacturing use the latest technology to produce a precision milled and properly kiln product. We require extensive quality control at every stage of the manufacturing process. The final step in the process is to apply an aluminum oxide factory finish. This 8 coat process includes sanding, sealer, aluminum oxide which gives the finish its hardness and then the final top coat. Our prefinished flooring carries a 25 year warranty for residential use.

We specialize in most South American Exotic species including Brazilian Cherry, Ipe or Brazilian Walnut, TigerWood, Cumaru, Red Cumaru or Dark Cumaru, Massaranduba or Paraju, and many other Brazilian Amazon woods.

We also source material from Bolivia and Paraguay including Lapacho Ipe, Amendoim, Kurupayra or Angico, Tarara or Canary Wood, Tiete Rosewood or Sirari, and Curupau or Patagonian Rosewood. Many of these species have multiple names so please visit our product catalog to learn more and see our many photos.

Unfinished Exotic Hardwood Flooring

Nova is the leading importer of unfinished flooring in South American exotic species. Unfinished flooring, or site finished flooring, represents the highest quality flooring available. We have the same quality standards in both our unfinished and prefinished flooring, and many of these products come from the same manufacturing partners.

Our unfinished flooring is precision milled and carefully kiln dried to allow for the easiest installation on the job. Because of our quality standards, contractors will spend less time sanding and prepping our flooring for finish.

We carry most of the same species of wood in unfinished flooring as we do in our prefinished flooring line. We specialize in both Clear and Select grades as well in unfinished flooring; the Clear grades are generally color matched and basically defect free; the Select grades allow more natural color vaiation and allow tight solid defects such as small knots, burls, and interesting grain patterns.

We stock both our unfinished and prefinished flooring in multiple warehouses around the US. This allows for relatively quick availability in just about any part of the US.

Exotic Hardwood Decking

Exotic hardwood decking is the best possible choice for exterior decking. Not only is it more beautiful and more stable than composites, tropical hardwood decking is naturally durable.

We specialize in some of the finest woods available on the planet: Ipe or Brazilian Walnut, Cumaru, TigerWood, Garapa, Angelim Pedra, Massaranduba, Dark Red Meranti and Cambara Mahogany.

We offer direct container shipments from our partners in South America; and we inspect every shipment before it leaves the country of origin. Quality control is critical to ensure that our decking meets our grading, milling and kiln drying standards.

Precision Information Technology

From our headquarters in Portland, Oregon, we track every unit of decking and flooring from the mill all the way to the final customer. Our information systems are built on the latest Microsoft database technology and give us a competitive advantage; we outperform our competition by tracking our inventory and our costs with the highest level of precision.
