Ah, maple. It’s what our North American neighbors are known for. It’s that familiar taste of perfect Sunday mornings. What’s a good breakfast without a hearty drizzle of maple syrup over warm, fluffy, and buttery pancakes? But the uses of maple trees go beyond maple syrup.
Historically, maple wood is used to make musical instruments, from violins and violas to guitars and drums. By 1954, the legendary guitar company Fender made maple wood center stage in the making of their Fender Stratocaster guitar necks.
Maple has a beautiful, modern look. With its condensed, uniform, and fine grain, maple has less texture than oak. Thanks to its hardness, maple has been used in gym flooring for decades. It’s an exceptional option for contemporary homes.
When you choose maple for your floors, you’ll know it’s exactly what you’ve been searching for all along.
