    Tigerwood Hardwood Floors

    Tigerwood is a bold species with an orange/reddish brown background with wide dark brownish black striping, which we liken to the striping found in “vanilla fudge” ice cream.

    Appearance

    Tigerwood is a boldly striped species which has an orange/reddish brown background with wide dark brownish black striping. View our photo gallery.

    Color Range: exhibits a wide range of color/striping. The striping can vary from fine lines to bold “brush strokes”. The background color can range from light tans to darker orange browns.
    Color Change: exhibits a large degree of color change with a pronounced darkening of the background under the stripes from an orangey tan to a deep reddish brown color, which then in turn makes the striping less contrasting and more subtle.
