Maple Wood Floors

Maple wood flooring is very popular because it is highly dense, richly beautiful, and decadently durable. Found in northern climates and cold areas, this tree is tough but versatile. It features a tight grain with few imperfections when compared to other northern hardwoods.

There are over 200 different species of maple trees in the entire maple genus. These include sugar maples (known for producing sap that is made into maple sugar), red maples, sycamore maples, Norway maples, and more. Each is unique in its own way, but several species produce a strong, robust wood that is great for flooring.

Found mostly in the upper northern regions of America, Canada, and Europe, maple trees are abundant in nature. They are known for their extremely dense foliage, as well as their dense wood grain patterns. The long winters that these trees survive pack the grain together snugly and produces a vibrant and uniform texture throughout the wood. You will find that maple flooring options are not only stunning, but very practical as well. Maple floors can be cleaned with store-bought floor cleaners and require no special maintenance. You should not clean them with water, however, as this can lead to warping over time.
