Choibá

Choibá is native to Colombia’s Pacific and tropical regions and is rarely found outside the country, making it a truly singular material on a global scale. It has remarkable density—denser and harder than any other wood we offer—which gives it exceptional strength, wear resistance, and longevity. This makes Choibá an exclusive floor and a world first: an ultra-dense Colombian hardwood crafted into engineered flooring, available nowhere else.

A world first. Choibá—one of Colombia’s most extraordinary hardwoods—crafted into engineered flooring for the home.

Each floor begins with hand-selected, ethically sourced Colombian choibá, chosen for its exceptional density, expressive grain, and strength. Its remarkable density allows for a thinner wear layer without sacrificing durability, making efficient use of this rare wood.

We manufacture our floors in Antioquia, just outside Medellín, bonding a solid choibá wear layer to a stable plywood core engineered for Colombia’s humid climate.

Built to be lived on, renewed, and passed down, Konoha floors can be re-sanded multiple times—introducing a rare Colombian wood to interiors for the very first time.

Construction: Engineered hardwood flooring with a solid Colombian teak wear layer bonded to a plywood core. All layers are made from 100% Colombian wood.

Format: Large to extra-large plank formats

Plank Widths: 23 cm or 29 cm

Wear Layer Thickness: 3 mm

Total Thickness: 18 mm

Lengths: Ranging from 2.2 m to 3.0 m

Installation: Designed for full glue-down installation for maximum stability and long-term performance. Floors can be re-sanded multiple times over their lifetime.

Character & Selection: Natural Colombian choibá, carefully selected for minimal knots and cracks while preserving the wood’s authentic character. Variations in tone and grain are inherent to the material. Natural cracks and knots are filled with color-matched fillers to maintain a refined, cohesive appearance.

Finishes Available: Konoha choibá planks can be delivered unfinished, allowing for on-site sanding and finishing tailored to your project. Finished options are also available through selected partners, offered in a limited range of standard colors using either natural oil finishes or, for higher-traffic applications, durable water-based polyurethane finishes.

Each Konoha board is crafted individually to celebrate the natural beauty of the wood—made in Colombia, where the trees themselves grow.

Konoha engineered floors are 100% real wood, from top to bottom. Visually and structurally, they offer the same beauty and quality as solid wood flooring—only improved.

Because wood naturally expands and contracts with humidity, especially in tropical climates, solid floors have limitations. Konoha’s engineered construction pairs a solid hardwood wear layer with a stable plywood core, allowing for wider planks, longer lengths, and superior performance in humid environments.

Once installed, you would never see the difference from solid wood—only feel the stability.
