Elemental Hardwoods has added a new hardwood species to its line of exotic imported woods—Black Mesquite, sourced from the Chaco region of northern Argentina and Paraguay.
According to the supplier, Black Mesquite hardwood is known for its stability, durability, and distinctive character, as well as its deep brown and gray-brown patterns. It is highly dense, with a silky texture and wild grain, and is recommended for use in glue or nail-down applications, as well as difficult installation conditions.
“We specialize in turning flooring into works of art that are likely to become the main attraction of any home or office,” says John McGlocklin, founder of Elemental Hardwoods. “This includes the supply of some of the most interesting, beautiful, durable, and dense species on the planet. Algarrobo, or Black Mesquite as it is commonly known, is just the latest entry into the Elemental product line, which includes a unique collection of exotic hardwoods not found anywhere else in today’s flooring marketplace. These are true nonrepetitive, real-wood showpieces that offer a spectacular departure from the traditional woods used on most floors.”
The Black Mesquite boards are available in unfinished square-edge TG4S in 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch thicknesses, widths ranging from 3 to 8 inches, and lengths ranging from 1 to 7 feet. elementalhardwoods.com
