Maple is great for any family that is going to beat on their floors. Maple has a Janka rating of 1450, which is pretty tough. Maple floors will be resistant to a pet such as a dog. Children can also have massive wear and tear effects on a floor, so Maple might be the right choice in that scenario.

Maple grows mostly in North America and Canada. These floors are going to have a pale complexion. Maple grain is very light, and it is actually difficult to see in most situations. This gives the wood a very "clean" attribute. Maple floors are not very busy, which is a look that some customers are going to prefer.

It can actually be difficult to work with Maple because if its unique characteristics. A Maple floor can quickly turn blotchy if it not prepares adequately ahead of time. We recommend contacting a professional before you start working on this floor. It would be a tragedy to have such a gorgeous wood ruined due to lack of preparation.
