Characteristics​

​

• Color: Maple typically presents in light, creamy white or blondish hues, with some variations leaning towards a red or dark cocoa spectrum depending on the cut (sapwood or heartwood).

• Grain: Maple is known for its fine and subtle grain pattern, offering a clean, uniform, and contemporary aesthetic. This contrasts with the more pronounced grain patterns seen in other wood species like Oak.

• Versatility: The neutral color and understated grain allow maple flooring to complement a wide range of decorating styles, from traditional to contemporary and minimalist. 

• Hardness: Maple is one of the hardest woods used for flooring, scoring around 1450 on the Janka hardness scale (hard maple). This makes it highly resistant to dents, scratches, and wear and tear, making it suitable for high-traffic areas.
