LINTHICUM, Md., July 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- JG Architectural Supply unveils a new, exclusive, and environmentally friendly hardwood flooring product for commercial and residential application. When one considers hardwood flooring for a high-end project, exotic species like Brazilian Cherry and Tigerwood often come to mind. Others consider upscale domestic products such as Antique Heart Pine and American Walnut. All of these products make for an extraordinary floor, and they all can be environmentally sound if properly sourced. However, there exists a segment of the consumer market that desires a product a cut above the rest. Whether it's for a multi-million dollar dream home, an executive office, or a trendy restaurant, some consumers desire the utmost in grandeur. For these customers, JG Architectural Supply has reset the bar on prestigious flooring with its exclusive Antique Brazilian Barnwood. The species used in JG's Brazilian Barnwood flooring is known as Peroba. This beautiful wood was once considered the timber of choice for construction in Brazil. However, after years of over-harvesting the Peroba has become scarce; it is now illegal to harvest this species in South America. JG Architectural Supply has created their unique product by starting with antique Peroba timbers recovered from 100-200 year old barns and factories throughout the Brazilian countryside. This makes their flooring product truly eco-friendly, as it contains 100% recycled content. All of these antique timbers are then kiln-dried and custom-milled right here in the United States for the utmost in quality control. The end result is a beautiful exotic product that is rich in history. Because there is a very limited source of antique Peroba, this product carries a high price tag -- it retails for about $28 per square foot.
