Everything people ask about morado floors
Ted Todd's Morado wood flooring, Darwin, is part of our Specialist Woods collection. Sourced from FSC certified forests, this responsibly sourced exotic timber brings depth and interest to a project, linking it back to the rainforests of Bolivia and Brazil. With a 19mm thickness and a 6mm wear layer, Darwin is built to last with appropriate care and attention. Its satin lacquered finish has a natural feel with a deep patina, bringing out the wood's dark to medium colours. Floors made from Morado are similar in origin and colour to their South American counterpart, Tajibo wood, which is also often known as Lapacho or Ipe.
Morado has a distinctive appearance, with black streaks and stripes running through lighter natural browns, and a circular, swirling grain pattern. Its colour variation is unusual among more common flooring timbers, giving each floor a distinctive character.
Darwin suits interior projects that call for a refined look alongside long term durability. Black streaks and stripes run through lighter natural browns, creating a distinctive look with colour variation that is unusual among more common flooring timbers, bringing character to every surface.

Combined with a hard wearing finish and generous dimensions, Darwin suits the demands of everyday life, including high traffic commercial areas.
Installation of any Ted Todd wood floor should only ever be carried out by a professional installer, since proper subfloor and wall preparation, along with the finer details, make all the difference to the result.
