http://www.realoakfloors.co.uk/maple_solid_wood_flooring.php Wood Flooring / Solid Real Wood Flooring / Maple Flooring About Maple Wood Flooring The Maple is one of North America's most versatile and best-loved deciduous trees. Depending on the variety, Maples are used for rough construction or in the making of fine furniture. The sap of sugar Maples is the only ingredient in Maple syrup, the delicious elixir produced in Ontario, Quebec and New England every spring. Maples are also a major tourist attraction - their breath-taking leaves captivate visitors to eastern North America every autumn. A single Maple Leaf is even the proud centrepiece of Canada's national flag. Maple Wood, which varies in hardness, toughness and other properties, is in demand for products such as Maple flooring, furniture, interior woodwork, veneer, small woodenware, and supports several flourishing industries in eastern Canada. Maple is also highly prized in furniture building and cabinet-making. Maple lumber such as that used in maple flooring comes principally from the Middle Atlantic and Lake States of America, which together account for about two-thirds of the production. The wood of Sugar Maple and Black Maple is known as Hard Maple; that of Silver Maple, Red Maple, and Boxelder as Soft Maple. The Sapwood is commonly white with a slight reddish-brown tinge; the Heartwood is light reddish brown, but sometimes is considerably darker. Hard Maple has a fine, uniform texture, turns well on a lathe, is resistant to abrasion and has no characteristic odor. It is heavy, strong, stiff, hard, and resistant to shock, and it has large shrinkage. Sugar Maple is generally straight grained but the grain also occurs as birds-eye, curly, and fiddleback grain. The wood of Soft Maples resembles that of hard maples but is not as heavy, hard and strong, the better grade of soft maple has been substituted for hard maple in furniture.
