Hard Maple tree is found in the eastern part of North America. While it is grown in plenty, it is costlier to get pure white sapwood. When it comes to wood flooring, you mostly have to go with a combination of sapwood and heart. These are usually hard maple. Hard maple is clean looking with few grains and little color variation. Consequently, most homeowners choose the option for its consistent look. If what you are after is a hardwood flooring with a smooth, even tone, maple hardwood floors will be the best choice.
Hard maple has sapwood that is white in color with some slight reddish tinge. Heartwood, on the other hand, is a uniform light, pale reddish-brown color.
Hard Maple is quite dense. It has white to grey overtones. The wood has a tight grain and closed pores. Sugar maple has special grain patterns with elliptical or dot-like features that look like the eyes of a bird. There is also the option of quilted maple which has rippled grain and curly maple with a wavy grain.
Hard maple machines very well and is very hard when dry. While it is stable, when there are humidity changes, it tends to shrink and swell. You must never acclimatize maple hardwood flooring. It needs to be installed immediately.
Hard maple is hard, heavy, tough, strong, and stiff. It is closely grained and sands into a gorgeous tight finish. The wood has great resistance to indentation, shock, and abrasion.
The majority of homeowners go for maple hardwood floors thanks to its lighter hues. While its colors range from mauve brown and gray to darker red-brown, homeowners are familiar with the lighter sandy-blonde tones.
Maple is mostly used in its natural tones because of the density of its grain. The tightly clustered cells further make it harder for the wood to stain especially when in dark colors.

This is ¾ inches thick but is available in a wide range of lengths and widths. Solid maple is available as unfinished or pre-finished. Prefinished hardwood refers to the plank that has already been treated with a sealant or stain. Some prefinished planks come with textured surfaces.
Engineered maple flooring is thinner. It can be ¼ inches thick. The length, width, and finishes will depend on the manufacturer. There is a wider selection of color finishes with engineered maple than with solid hardwood.
