Royal Mahogany, sometimes referred to as Andean Mahogany or Colombian Mahogany, offers a stunning balance of rich color, subtle grain, and excellent durability. At Pennington Hardwoods, we offer 3/4″ thick solid Royal Mahogany flooring, with engineered options available by request featuring a 3mm wear layer. With its warm reddish-brown hues and elegant, straight grain, Royal Mahogany is a refined yet durable choice for both modern and traditional interiors.
Our Royal Mahogany is sourced from responsibly managed forests in South America and milled to meet the quality standards demanded by discerning builders and designers. We stock popular widths such as 3″, 4″, and 5″ in both unfinished and satin prefinished options, and we offer wider widths, longer lengths, and custom textures upon request.

Characteristics of Our Royal Mahogany Hardwood Flooring
Appearance: Royal Mahogany displays a beautiful medium reddish-brown tone with slight golden undertones. Its grain is typically straight and uniform, with occasional interlocking that adds subtle depth and figure. The wood darkens slightly over time, developing a richer and more cohesive appearance.
Hardness: With a Janka hardness rating of approximately 1,570 lbs, Royal Mahogany is significantly harder than traditional domestic mahogany and even harder than Red Oak. It offers excellent wear resistance and stands up well to everyday use in residential and light commercial spaces.
Stability: Royal Mahogany is known for its above-average dimensional stability. It handles seasonal changes in humidity better than many tropical species when acclimated properly and installed with care. Engineered options further enhance its suitability for installation over radiant heat, concrete, or high humidity climates.
Versatility: Royal Mahogany’s clean lines and consistent grain make it an excellent fit for a wide range of styles—from formal and traditional to contemporary and transitional. It takes stain and finish well, and it can easily be customized to suit virtually any design palette.
