Information about maple floors

European maple

European Maple heartwood is creamy white to light reddish brown and the sapwood is pale to creamy white with medium figuring and uniform texture. Compared with Hard Maple, European Maple has a lustre all of its own that gives the room a clean airy feel. The thin annual rings and soft figuring make it unique. Despite being 15–20% softer than Hard Maple, it is still very hard and durable. European Maple undergoes a medium degree of colour change and will go to subdued yellow tones over the years.
