The Tigerwood species, also known as Curly Maple flooring, is so named because the remarkable patterns in the wood can oftentimes resemble tiger stripes. Curly Maple flooring often features a deep, dark brown streaking across a tan or deep orange background color. The hues present in Tiger Curly Maple flooring range from a muted, pale cream color to a rich, reddish-orange. Also known as Brazilian Koa or Zebrawood, Curly Maple flooring brings incredible warmth into the spaces where it is installed. The rather extreme color variance of Tigerwood tends to mellow over time.
