Cherry hardwood flooring is usually denoted as very bright, reddish flooring with vibrant colors and rich tones. There are two main types of cherry wood flooring you will come across in the flooring market today. There is domestic cherry flooring which is grown in the USA and Canada. Brazilian cherry is the other very popular type of cherry flooring people are installing in today’s homes.

How much does cherry wood flooring cost?

Both American cherry flooring and Brazilian cherry wood flooring carry similar costs. They cost anywhere from $3.50 to $6 per square foot. At these prices, a 15X15 foot room will cost at least $1,000 for the stock alone (don’t forget to allow for 15% of wasted stock). Many times exotic flooring costs more because of the cost of transporting the wood to another country. However, production costs in Brazil are lower than they are in the USA so it evens out in this case.

These prices listed above ($3.50 to $6/SFT) are for pre-finished flooring product. You can find some reasonably priced domestic and exotic cherry flooring at Lumber Liquidators. The beauty of the prefinished flooring is that you save on the final finishing and sealing process. Once your cherry floor installation is complete you will not need to concern yourself with paying for finishing. That makes a big difference in overall cost.

If you are buying prefinished wood flooring ask for a sample from the manufacturer before you purchase a large amount of stock wood. Some places may charge $2 to $4 for a sample or just charge you for the shipping. It’s always best to see the product live before buying lots of it.
