Solid Wood Species

Janka Rating: This test involves establishing the hardness of the wood specie by measuring the force required to embed a 11.28mm steel ball halfway into the plank. This is a very good test as it measures the ability of the wood specie to withstand denting and wear.

These test results will give a good indication of which floor species is better to use in high traffic areas. We have highlighted the species usually available in South Africa.
