红檀木(Santos Mahogany) vs. 巴西樱桃木(Brazilian Cherry)

[ChrisHuang]

想做地板, 以上两种地板, 如果价钱一样, 选哪一种更好呢?

从网上的资料看，都很好。 Brazilian Cherry更硬些。

地板不是越硬越好。

 

[阿搜]

I agree with Jogger.
Above certain level, harder wood floor will not be very comfortable to step on it.

 

[ChrisHuang]

Thanks very much to everybody.

 

[newer]

where do you buy it? What is the price range?

 

[ChrisHuang]

建筑商定价这两种板都是每英尺$22.3, 由于我们是新房地板升级. 这两种板都是每英尺加价$9.3. 价钱都包括工钱.

硬度的确不是唯一因素。比如maple比oak硬，但由于maple的花纹非常平滑，刮痕之类反而比oak明显。但硬度是实木非常重要的一个指标。
