Solid Brown & White Maple & Solid White Maple  

The Hard Maple tree timber is commonly found growing in American Appalachian mountain ranges and the Eastern USA and up into eastern provinces of Canada. The wood from the Hard Maple tree is relatively dense and hard with a tight grain pattern; it machines and finishes beautifully leaving a very smooth finish. The lighter white coloured Sapwood tends to be favoured to the browner coloured heartwood for high value kitchen cabinets and joinery . The bright whiteness of the White Sapwood tends to improve when the trees are grown and harvested further north and closer to the Arctic Circle and for this reason the Canadian Hard White Maple is often preferred and specified by architects and designers due to the consistency of “Paper White” light colour and the tight grain formation.

Maple is a relatively hydroscopic wood with an open cell structure and it reacts and expands quite considerably when it comes into contact with moisture and humidity. Maple is not recommended for flooring in damp areas or where it could come into contact with moisture such as bathroom because of its high density.

Maple is often used for flooring in “High Traffic” areas such as sports halls, squash courts, indoor cycle tracks and dance halls as this timber is very resistant to marking and wear. The Hard Maple tree produces a sweet sugary sap which is tapped from the tree during early spring and boiled down and reduced to make sweet Maple Syrup – hence the name “Sugar Maple''.

You can choose between micro bevel or square edge, just state when ordering online which one you want, or call our friendly sales team to confirm which one you would like.
