Solid Gonçalo Alves Parquet

Gonçalo Alves, also known as Tigerwood or Muiracatiara, is an exotic tropical hardwood with a striking and distinctive appearance. Its characteristic pattern of dark stripes over a golden-brown background gives the floor a luxurious and dynamic look.

This parquet is made from solid wood, ensuring high durability, long lifespan, and the ability to refinish the floor multiple times.

The Select grade ensures a clean and uniform appearance with minimal defects.

The unfinished surface allows you to choose your preferred finish – oil, lacquer, or other coatings – adapting the flooring to your specific interior style.

Gonçalo Alves is a dense and durable wood with good wear resistance, making it suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
