Discover Our Patagonian Rosewood Hardwood Flooring
Patagonian Rosewood, also known as Curupay, is one of the most visually dynamic and hardest exotic woods available. Its dramatic color variation—ranging from honey and gold to deep brown and black—creates a bold, high-contrast look that demands attention. At Pennington Hardwoods, we offer 3/4″ thick solid Patagonian Rosewood flooring, as well as engineered versions by special order featuring a 3mm wear layer.
Our Patagonian Rosewood is responsibly sourced from South America and milled to the high standards required by top-tier European markets. This ensures exceptional quality in both appearance and performance. We strive to stock unfinished and satin prefinished Patagonian Rosewood in standard widths including 3″, 4″, and 5″, with custom milling available for wider widths and longer lengths.
Whether you’re building a showpiece interior or simply want a floor with unmatched personality and strength, Patagonian Rosewood delivers a one-of-a-kind experience with every plank.

Characteristics of Our Patagonian Rosewood Hardwood Flooring
Appearance: Patagonian Rosewood is a study in contrast and character. Its base tone ranges from warm tan to reddish-brown, with bold black striping and swirling figure that varies from board to board. This extreme variation ensures that no two floors are alike, giving each installation a uniquely artistic, almost marbled appearance.
Hardness: With a Janka hardness rating of approximately 3,840 lbs, Patagonian Rosewood is one of the hardest flooring species in the world. It’s highly resistant to denting, scratching, and wear, making it ideal for high-traffic areas, luxury retail environments, or any space where durability is paramount.
Stability: Despite its incredible density, Patagonian Rosewood can be somewhat reactive to changes in humidity and temperature. Proper acclimation and installation are essential. Engineered options provide greater dimensional stability and are especially recommended for wide planks or environments with seasonal shifts.
Versatility: While its intense variation and high contrast make Patagonian Rosewood less subtle than other species, it pairs beautifully with minimalist, industrial, or high-design spaces where dramatic flooring is a core design element.

Compare with Our Santos Mahogany Hardwood Flooring
Trying to choose between Patagonian Rosewood and Santos Mahogany? While both are exotic, premium hardwoods, they differ significantly in appearance and tone.
Patagonian Rosewood is bold and highly variable, featuring a wild mix of light and dark tones with striping and swirling grain. Its extreme density and high contrast make it a dynamic focal point and a performance powerhouse.
Santos Mahogany, by contrast, offers a smoother grain, tighter visual flow, and a deep reddish-brown hue with subtle variation. It is still very dense (approx. 2,200 lbs Janka), but visually more uniform and suited for elegant, classic interiors.
If you’re aiming for bold and artistic, go with Patagonian Rosewood. If you prefer rich color with refined consistency, Santos Mahogany may be your match.
