Hard Maple is the perfect marriage of durability and minimalist beauty. Known for its closed, fine grain and exceptionally light natural color, it provides a seamless, “Scandinavian” look that opens up any space. Whether it’s under the feet of athletes in a professional gymnasium or in a modern high-end home, solid hard maple is built to withstand the heaviest use while maintaining its elegant, bright appearance.
Botanical Name: Acer saccharum (Sugar Maple)
Janka Hardness Scale: 1,450 lbf (Harder than both Red and White Oak)
Origin: Sustainably sourced from Eastern North America.
Tree Characteristics: The Sugar Maple is a legendary tree, famous for its autumn foliage and maple syrup. It is a slow-growing hardwood that can live for over 300 years, reaching heights of 80–110 feet. This slow growth creates a wood that is incredibly dense and heavy.
Closed-Grain StructureUnlike the porous “open grain” of Oak, Maple has a very tight, closed grain. This makes the surface extremely smooth to the touch and resistant to dirt and grime.
