Hi Paul,

Yes, that is a typo. Mongolian teak has an average janka rating of 1880 and it is hard enough to stand up to dogs and scratches. That being said, we can’t 100% guarantee the floor won’t scratch if the dog is running and slipping and sliding around or if heavy furniture is dragged on the floor. One thing to consider with Mongolian teak is the type of climate you have in the area you live. If there are large changes in humidity during the seasons you may want to go with a domestic species or engineered hardwood rather than teak. Exotic species of hardwood are more susceptible to changes in humidity. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Is Mongolian Teak hard enough to hold up to dogs claws from scratch marks? Are you aware of any drawbacks to Mongolian Teak?

Hi Seth,

Thank you for getting in touch. Yes, a regular nail gun should be sufficient to install a Patagonia Rosewood hardwood floor. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help out with!
