Maple sports parquet flooring

Maple wood

Maple wood; dense wood with even grain and good polishing, occasionally featuring faint green-gray mineral veins, easy to paint. Wood characteristics: moderate strength, fine texture. This species is ideal for flooring, providing comfort, softness, brightness, and elegance.

Maple is also widely distributed in our country, ranging from the northeast to Yunnan in the south. Due to differences in origin and varieties, some domestic maple wood is softer, with a loose structure, faint grain, and poor luster, which falls short of European and American maple. For instance, the color maple produced in the northeast is one such type. It has always been used for sports flooring in our country. Some varieties from Northeast China have quality that is comparable to imported ones, with good quality, especially some boards featuring bird's-eye and tiger stripe patterns, which are considered premium maple.

Maple natural wood has a porous characteristic, capable of absorbing and releasing moisture. When humidity in the gymnasium increases, the maple flooring absorbs moisture, causing expansion. Conversely, when humidity decreases, it releases moisture, leading to contraction. This is a normal dynamic process.

Maple wood is favored for manufacturing sports flooring materials not only for its aesthetically pleasing grain texture but also due to its characteristics of having fibers that are resistant to breakage and shedding, and its ability to return to its original shape after deformation. Additionally, its longer wood fibers and tight grain structure provide excellent elasticity and hardness, making maple the industry standard for sports wood flooring.
