It is also known as the Guapinol Tree and this wood is used for both flooring and unique furniture. 

Here are key points about Jatoba:

  • Scientific Name: The scientific name is Hymenaea courbaril.
  • Appearance: It features a rich, reddish-brown color with dark streaks, giving it a striking appearance. Over time, it tends to darken, enhancing its visual appeal.
  • Durability: Jatoba is known for its hardness and durability, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. It ranks high on the Janka hardness scale, which measures resistance to denting and wear.
  • Uses: Commonly used for flooring, furniture, cabinetry, and even musical instruments due to its strength and beautiful grain.
  • Sustainability: When sourced responsibly, Jatoba can be a sustainable choice, but it’s essential to check for certification from reputable organisations.


Jatoba Engineered Wood flooring is very beautiful, durable and hardwearing, making it ideal for floors (hardness measure of 230 ibf) and once installed, you should not need to replace them ever again. It is available in a unique tanned colour which has black stripes that develop over time. When exposed to sunlight, these stripes go a lovely red colour. This wood is regarded as the most luxurious floor by many.
